Hi folks, I notice that Peteuk mentions experiencing Broadband "drop out's" with his FTTC (I think that's what he ment in his post).
I am on FTTC and have been for several years, I was extolling the virtues of this to my next door neighbour who was having grave trouble with her TT POTS connection dropping out with irritating regularity.
"Oh, get it changed to Fibre, I have not had a dropped connection for over a year" said I!
That was it seems tempting fate!
I was watching a "Box Set" on iPlayer on Saturday 12th Oct, which stretched into the early hours of Sunday 13th, and having finished, I then turned to my PC to finish some work only to find that there was no internet connection despite all the lights on my Router showing green!
I re booted the router to no avail but after about 10 minutes, the "Internet" light turned red!
...bit late to inform me!
I just couldn't understand how I managed to watch three hours plus of Catch up TV on iPlayer without any interruption, yet immediately I try to use my PC, Phone and any other connected device, no connection despite the routers lights telling porkies!
Same thing happened again, in the wee small hours of Tuesday morning, .
This time I didn't touch the router and it eventually re-connected.
...Wednesday night, or maybe it was Tuesday night, whilst watching broadcast TV, a notification popped up on screen saying "Your Broadband connection has been re-established" ...or words to that effect.
I had no idea that it had been interrupted, since I was not using it directly at the time.
Since I cannot find out about historical faults/problems with the broadband connection to my home, I would appreciate some detail/explanation regarding these three outages in almost as many days.
Whilst I would imagine that any necessary maintenence work is likely to be carried out between 23:59 and 04:00,
I would hate to think that I am responsible for this recent batch of outages just because I was extolling the virtues of the FTTC service to my neighbour! 😁 😁
