Openreach outage or just me?

Openreach Internet

  • To do: Look at the lights on your router: their colour shows whether the connection reaches your home.
  • To do: Lights off or unusual? Check the router's power supply and its cable to the wall socket.
  • To do: Unplug the router, plug it back in and wait for the lights to settle.
  • To do: Test another device, then a computer connected by Ethernet cable: if that works, it's the Wi-Fi.
  • To do: Still down? Contact your broadband provider: it tests your line and raises a fault with Openreach.
