Flashing PON

[MarkoJemo]

Just had openreach come this afternoon and install a new fibre connection. Got my activation text shortly after they had left. The PON light has been flashing on the ONT while the sky router has only power and Wi-Fi lights on. Router won't connect to internet. Have tried numerous restarts of router and ONT. Is it a case of just leaving it to activate or should I be calling someone? 

Am new to Sky and FTTP having previously had Virgin so apologies for the noobness

@MarkoJemoThe activation can take up to midnight to happen. If this is still the same in the morning, come back let us know and we can see what else can be done.

PON flashing and LOS off

Openreach fibre modem is communicating with BT exchange for verification.

As @Highlinder points out activation can take up to midnight meanwhile the gpon ont will continue trying to connect. Eventually it should turn solid green

Thanks, does the ONT need a reboot or anything to help it along? 

[Highlinder]

@MarkoJemoNo just leave it be, it will do its own thing.

Was away for the weekend and came home to the PON not flashing anymore but a red LOS light 😞
