Without broadband for a week. Poor since may, at least 12 engineers, being fobbed off going in circles around the system. Now nothing, have had 5 more appointments booked the cancelled by open reach (apparently) without letting me know! What on earth is going on 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Have contacted my MP as at my wits end. Run 2 businesses from home and have a sketchy 4g signal.

@JCress : Welcome to EE's Home Broadband Forum.

What lights are showing on the router?

What does it say after you log into the router:

  • For a BrightBox: in the Internet section on the initial Status page or
  • For a Smart Hub: on the Advanced Settings > Broadband > Internet page?

Obscure your names & any digits in the BB Username but post the 1st 2 parts of the (Broadband) IP address. This might tell us at which stage EE have got to.

Is this for ADSL BB or Fibre? Which router, BrightBox 1 or 2 or Smart Hub?

Does the landline phone work? Do you get a dial tone? Does it announce your correct no. when you dial 1470 17070?

If you think I helped please feel free to hit the "Thumbs Up" button below.

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone

ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up > 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB > 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB > 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU > 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU > 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC > 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC > 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC > 2022:EE 80 Meg FTTC SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP

@JCress  to add a couple of extra questions, is this a business line?

Also, what speeds are available to you, if you enter your phone number in the BTW DSL checker and post the results, hiding your number, it will help ensure you are getting the best results.
