Is there times when the PON light �hangs� for a split second staying solid briefly ?

This can be an indicator of the fibre being misrouted to the wrong head end tray in the exchange.

Yeah, thats what it sounds like from their explanation but it was all mumbo jumbo to me

it does hang for a split second and gets my hopes up

Yep, I�d guess that it�s connected to a fibre from the wrong bundle in the splitter, so is on the wrong SASA in the exchange.

Wouldn't that of resulted in a build issue being raised when they did the external stage?

I ask that due to that's what happed to us down my road if you recall, where the fibres was all in the incorrect trays at the splitter.

The single fibre going into the splitter was in the correct tray, but the up to 32 fibres leaving the splitter was incorrect.

The fix was for the engineers (4 engineers watching the 5th do the work LOL) to disconnect all up to 32 fibres and re-join them back into the correct trays and correct split fibres.

Nope, these issues are not detected at first stage it would seem. It is just relied on that the stage one bod knows how to read a splitter and uses a spare from the right tray.......

I think the issue you had was different .... The fibres feeding the splitter (E sides, as it were) were misrouted , resulting in no light at all.

What the OP mentions, (and I am guessing here, from what�s been said) as it�s on a fibre from the wrong SASA tray in the splitter, although it has been lit from the exchange the serial number is not appearing where expected on the head end .....

The head end has been told for order XXX the light/serial number from the ONT should appear on fibre X in tray Y .... once in agreement �sync� sorta, it then gets the remote build for the services ......

If the serial number number is appearing on a different tray in the exchange, sync/lit PON light (whatever it might be called) doesn�t occur.

It does make the flashing PON light on the ONT momentarily �hang� every few minutes ... and that seems to be the tell tale.

After 9 years of waiting for fibre ( or at least it feels like that ) I finally have FTTP!

Nice, how much have you abused it so far LOL.

Also what's your BQM like?

I have downloaded about 50gb already today, making up for lost time

What is BQM? I found one on thinkbroadband website, but that takes a day to make?

Its starts instantly, but will take at least a day to cover the whole graph.

I assume you don't have a Static IP, so you might have issues when you IP changes and BT do love to change your IP when you are not expecting it

I had to setup my own DDNS up form mine.

A BQM isn't required, just helpful if you have issues.

How often does the IP change on FTTP usually? Is it the last digit or the whole range?

Actually I might have a static IP, as in the homehub it says " dynamic DNS " off, and then i can switch it on and enter a user/pass?
