If I may crave your indulgence, I will take the opportunity to re-awaken this old thread.
I learned yesterday evening that all the local BT Broadband users are once again bereft of a functioning internet connection......and have been since last Wednesday.
The symptoms are exactly as before, in that whilst their router stats. are all showing healthy noise and attenuation values ( both up and down stream) and displaying a decent upstream speed, there is no figure showing in the downstream box......it is blank.
BT Broadband have told all the users concerned that "the problem will be resolved by linking with a new ethernet cable"
Well done, BT Broadband.......you are about to experience a local mass migration from your services........and the local users have jointly instructed a solicitor in the matter to contest any statements from you with regard to breach of contract when they cease making payments to you.
