I just moved into a new house and it looks like the previous tenants took the power cable for the ONT with them, what would be the best way to go about replacing this?
Ive had no luck getting in touch with the previous tenants.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

@Albee000 Welcome to the forum.
I would contact EE customer services as below and ask them to get Openreach to install a replacement ONT

@Albee000 Welcome to the forum.
I would phone customer services and ask them to sent out an Openreach Engineer to replace the ONT.

Openreach is already sending someone out for an appointment to check some of the equipment, do you think as part of this they would have a spare cable with them?

Hey there @Albee000.
Welcome to the Community 😊
It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility, but it may be a case that they only have cables to go alongside new units being installed rather than any standalone spares.
Unless this visit is imminent, then I'd recommend the safer option would be getting in touch with our team like @Ewan15 recommended.
