BTOR and fault
« on: October 23, 2016, 12:53:14 PM »

A little OT perhaps for this forum!

Both phone and bband went down on Friday, and i reported in @ 17:55. I heard  no spiel about having to pay. Cause was a network fault and time scale for repair was tomorrow, about which I was skeptical, it being the start of the weekend.

Call was received before 9:30 today, that line was up again. Somewhere a cable had broken.

 :thumbs: for once to BTOR.

Who are your phone and broadband suppliers and which did you report it to? (and how?)

Just interested because you said "no spiel about having to pay" whereas BT retail did give me that when reporting a phone fault which they diagnosed as "near my property".  :cool:

Hmmm! Makes me wonder, if they were already aware of some area fault, though in course of exchange, but later. I did mention what I'd done before calling along with the symptoms.

I tend to assume they are working to a standard computerised script.  :(

It will depend on the outcome of the initial remote unit test, as to whether you will get notified of any potential charges.

If the line test returns a 'Disconnection fault' at say the MDF, or the Cab ....... then you cannot possibly be held responsible for this. Conversely, a short-circuit or earth fault are more likely to be at the premises and as such you will get notified of potential charges.

Thanks for the info BS.

Gives a whole new meaning to 'potential difference'.   ;)
