My landline is down. How can I book an engineer?
I was recently upgraded to fibre broadband, and ever since my landline has been down, my wifi is weaker, and my internet has intermittently disappeared.
I'm in my 70s and I live alone. I need the internet and my landline for safety.
I've been running in circles trying to speak to someone to fix these problems and I have yet to be connected with a person. I cannot believe that it is standard practice that I need to communicate via a message board to get this seen to!
What do I need to do to get this urgently taken care of?

Re: My landline is down. How can I book an engineer?
@El1zab3th Is there a voice light on the hub? Is this illuminated? If so is your phone plugged into the back of the Hub using the UK Phone port?

If you have fibre broadband then your phone connection does need to be plugged into the back of the broadband hub.
If someone has helped you then please click on the LIKES button in their post.
If you need help please provide as much information as you can

@El1zab3th for your landline to work, it must be plugged into your broadband Hub. There's a phone socket at the back. Your phone won't work from a wall socket.
Check that first.
