FAULTY ROUTER CABLE 😡

So, from 3am this morning my router was playing up. Without any warning whatsoever from yourselves, I find out my router has had a software update and destroyed the power supply. The lights are still on, but nobody home. Not enough power from the unit to give a signal. Consequently I'm without Internet and TV until a new cable arrives. I'm so angry I've put in a formal complaint. WHY when you were aware there was a fault with them was I not sent a replacement? Why have I had to wait until I'm without service. 8 months I've been with EE and I wish I hadn't bothered after this. I've now got to wait many days for a replacement. In future don't use cheap rubbish which fail! I've now paid for 1 from Amazon to arrive tomorrow as I know EE won't send it quickly! I also think it's a disgrace that EE shops don't supply extra power cables and routers in this day and age for this type of screw up!

@C4RLY Getting a software update has nothing to do with a failed PSU!

That's what EE are saying aren't you? You tell them that then, as that's what they told me in technical team!

@C4RLY Posting on the Forum then you are not talking to EE Direct, just customers like your self. See the links about failed PSU and the symptoms that the EE Smarthub+ routers display when the PSU is faulty. A software update if that is what has happened as some are going on just now does occur in the early hours.

Example linked below!

I'm making people aware. There's a recall and that's what they stated has happened 😊

@C4RLY The PSU failing has been going on for months now! 

It's extremely annoying! They should have replaced everybody's as soon as they knew. Besides this they should supply them to EE shops so people can get same day replacement. Absolute joke, I'm paying for my own from the amazon so I get one tomorrow!
