Thread: Bt Hub not working.

  1. #1

    Bt Hub not working.

    Came today (was meant to arrive Friday and go live today)

    Set it up before work, well tried, and the hub goes from green to flashing green to orange.
    Went on the chant and I was assured it would be working before today was over.
    Went to work, got back in and it's doing the same shit still..can't get on the chat after 22.45 so I'm likely going to have to wait till morning. Just a little bit frustrating..

    Any one offer any advice?

    I had similar issues when I joined BT. Their reason was that the line was still under the name of the previous owner. It took a huge effort to get it all sorted out. If you have switched from Sky to BT today, then there is a chance it hasn't swapped over yet. Wondering if your Sky hub is working? Have you tried that?

    Aye well once it's up and running hopefully I will be, loads of reviews saying the hubs are always faulty..Few people I know with them say they are great though.

    Was cut off as I disputed a bill and refused to pay so that may well be the reason.

    I don't give much of a **** as I'll just plod along using mobile data. Old dear is furious and was already in bed reading when I got in from work. Too much effort to plug the sky box back in for a bit of tv see..

    Hope it's sorted soon or i may have to live in work.

    We had quid something too. No idea what can't remember.

    Sky was 37 on the fibre for us, I get more on my 4g. Also get the same over WiFi on the ps4 that I do with a wired connection on sky.

    Got a feeling I'll have a fight on my hands unless I pay sky though..hope that ain't the case. Bugger that this side of Xmas.. don't want to pay them full stop.

    As an ex-BT employee, I can officially confirm that BT are shite.

    Re: Bt Hub not working.

    Had BT for years, poor service before upgrading to fibre a few years back, not had a problem since, as far as I recall.
    76MB service, and consistently getting pretty much close to that.

    Costs seem to have crept up and up for just broadband service with no extras though.
    Time they had a call .

    As a long suffering customer, I agree with the previous poster in that they most definitely are!

    Give it a couple of weeks and you'll wish you'd never seen a BT Hub in all your life, in my opinion.

    Advice? Send it back now and go with another supplier.

    Shall see how it goes today.

    Few mates have just the broadband and never had an issue, although readying online it looks like many many do..I'll likely fall into that category knowing my luck.

    I read a lot saying this after work last night. May be a case of getting a second hand one on eBay in case of further **** ups...when I eventually get it going.

    Gonna have another pop at the delightful hat help now.

    Turn it off for 20 seconds then back on or press the re-set button ?
    I have had BT broadband for about 12 years now, initially non fibre optic then infinity 1 fibre optic & the the last 2 years infinity 2 ? superfast fibre optic 76mbps.
    Never had a hub problem, touch wood.
