I don't know how the magic of broadband gets to my house but it does 😁 however, there's a green BT box at the bottom of my road and there's 2 engineers there at the moment with lots of equipment and ferreting in the box.
I'm not with BT but with now TV broadband and it's usually fantastic, I've had it 3 years and this is only the 3rd issue I've had with connection. I've been through now TV and they've said they're sending an engineer in the next 2 days and they don't need access to the house, though they're not saying it's a network issue, which last time it was down they did and said they'd fix it their end etc etc. They're saying there's an issue and they can't detect my hub.
I'm happy with that and don't need solutions but here's my dumb question out of interest -
I know the box at the bottom of the road deals with t'internet magic, even though I'm not with BT could they have knocked out connection to me while doing their green box tinkering? Is it a case of all the connections come through one place (the box) and as they're doing their tinkering they've cut off the internet completely to this area? I can't see any other reports on SM about the internet being down locally, but the people I know are all out anyway.
The connection just suddenly dropped, I've reset everything, and at first my phone said all connections points temporarily full - I only had my phone and Chromecast at the time connected. Nothing changed it just went away. When I go into my WiFi settings on the phone, the network is there and it says I need to sign in, but then takes me through the trouble shooter again to the conclusion above.
As I said I'm just more interested than anything in how it all works so anyone that can explain it in simple, short sentences I'd be very grateful!
😬😁
