Gpt summary -

 

EE FTTP down, CHAP authentication failure on both custom router and EE Hub


Broadband dropped this yesterday and will not reconnect.
Openreach ONT lights are normal:
Power green
PON solid green
LOS off
Using both OPNsense and the official EE Smart Hub gives the same result. Smart Hub flashes orange.


PPPoE logs show:
CHAP authentication failure
LCP authorization failed
Connecting to access concentrator acc-aln2.ra
Reconnection loop
Username in use: bthomehub@btbroadband.com
So fibre link is up and PPP session reaches EE, but authentication is being rejected.


No recent internal changes to network. Line was working fine previously.


Has anyone seen this recently with EE? Looks like a RADIUS or backend provisioning issue rather than physical line fault.

I hadn't used an Openreach circuit for 3 years, but got tempted back with the EE 1.6 Gbps offer - i think any ISP that uses Openreach is in a bad place 😫

I’ve only been on EE for 6 weeks so for me to have a days outage, just doesn’t look good.  I wish I had an altnet available to me, but it’s Virgin media or EE.

To be fair it’s been rock solid for the 6 weeks, so hopefully this isn’t a regular occurrence!
