New broadband customer - no internet

Hello

 

New customer, my broadband was suppose to be activated last Monday but Open Reach took an extra week to do it. I got notification yesterday that it's been activated, but whilst i've got the power and wifi lights on, i've got no internet light. I've been through all the diagnositic tools, all support links, plugged in and re plugged in all the cables, reset, so many times, tried calling support but can't get through the automated phone system without it telling me to go online and hanging up on me. I've just logged into the hub. Summary status says broadband is disconnected. See router statistics below (saw someone ask for these on a post). Pulling my hair out, having to work from home on BT wifi which is patchy and expensive.

 

Any help massively appreciated. Thank you.Router Statistics.png

@Mcr202 Can you please run the broadband test, this can be done either via the Sky app on mobile data or use the link below.

If it finds an external fault it should enable you to book an engineer.

Thank you for your help with this @Highlinder@Addie15 i can see the chat bubble but there's no message in this. FYI I finally managed to speak to a human on the phone earlier and now have an engineer coming out to look at it on Sunday. Will report back if there is a solution.
