After having 2x engineers call out today, after 3.30pm is. to check the router, stating there is no fault after the app found a fault 2days ago , they supported me to change the router password on my device ,and logged into EE with new password on there device, I received a text message from the engineer with the contact +44 is this correct? People seem to be having issues today .so I'm checking if everything is safe.
I'm currently with three for my data sim and had no service all day.when they arrived my data was working.
now cyber security identity check is unavailable, when you click identify it states we sorry. In this section has personal information, so this is worrying. Just trying to confirm everything is correct . The service from the engineers was friendly

@Andrea707bow : Had you arranged or booked these engineers in advance? Did they come from BT, Openreach or EE?
I wouldn't have given an outsider any pwd. It all sounds dodgy to me 😞 !

Hi, I was checking WiFi connection on my app as my Internetwas glitching on the tv, and it took me to my Web page Samsung Internet but it was multiple pages kept popping up. So they booked it in for today. Now I've gone back to check after reading your message and the log as vanished, but it was there at tea time . and states i logged it this morning at 9.39am. And can not access anything using my WiFi while checking the app. It was open reach .one of the men turned his back and was messing with his phone. While the other was checking the router? You've got me very concerned. The password will be re changed .hopefully EE WILL LOOK INTO THIS ,I WILL CALL IN THE MORNING, THANK YOU

@Andrea707bow Only had a visit once same type off circumstance, but they where Contractors direct from EE that were sent, and are NOT allowed to check or mess with anything, that way they had NO method of checking any fault condition , so about as much good as a chocolate teapot, to confirm there was a fault the Engineer had to connect onto the router, when he grabbed the card to do so, got confused when none off the details matched to which the would not as i had changed all three off them, SSID, wi-fi password, and the Router password. Had to give the password to one off the engineers to do his check via his mobile, yes confirmed there is an issue and we will organise OR to send someone to take a look, just shrugged the shoulders and what else could one do.
As you know they have been and where expected then nothing should be going on to have you worried, depending on what router you have and how it was setup originally password for the wireless may have been different, making the password change would have effected ALL your other devices unless you only have the one.....
