Adrain's router don't work. Might as well stop work, pack it all in and sell the network for scrap.

I guess it depends whether it is connected to the main sewer, a septic-tank or a local soak-away.

Plug in normal PN router, report no broadband at all, wait for it to be fixed.

That is the normal course of action, it makes no sense to try every model and brand of router in search of one that works.

You have a fault, seemingly specific to your line/port in a single card in a single cabinet, out of 50000+.

The network is falling apart, some parts of it can not cope with ADSL, i know of someone who was on ADSL while they do not live that far from the Exchange had problems due to the cables being naff, in the end they had to go for FTTC to get broadband, something they did not want to do because of the extra cost involved.

If i had done that then I would still be without broadband, if BTOW have no idea what the problem is then how are they going to fix it? By trying out other modems, plusnet sent me a router that works, ok for some reason it failed for that day, but is now working.

Anyway, it got me a better router than the standard plusnet router.

It�s not faling apart. It�s getting stronger with more and more fibre being added every day.

It won�t be too long before there�s little to no copper between the cabs and exchanges anyway.

Honestly it really isn�t falling apart. To my knowledge they have the most advanced test and diagnostics system in the world for the copper network. It�s also in surprisingly good condition, in my opinion anyway.

As you had service, you became very low priority, if you had no service you would have had faster resolve time and more engineer visits. IMO better to fix something than to bandaid it.

Round my way on roadworks.org there's quite few works cropping up to remove redundant copper.
