Internet down in Watford area
Hi,
Woke up this morning to no Internet - the cable modem won't give out An IP address by DHCP when connected to the cable network. First person I spoke to on the helpdesk tried to blame my equipment, second one has booked an engineer for Monday but I don't see how that'll help as it looks like a network problem to me!
Just wondered if anybody else was having problems?

Re: Internet down in Watford area
If it is an area problem it will be cancelled but they have to follow process and if no faults are listed at the time you ring in then they must book an engineer for it to flag up with the Outage department.

Thought there was an area fault - can see it on the website now. I assume priority 1 means top priority?

Re: Internet down in Watford area
Well checking the service status page, i logged into the page and it says everything is perfect. Would be nice if they posted correct information, would save customers having to call in or post on forums.

Re: Internet down in Watford area
Yeah my phone is still dead. Not sure if the fault covers my area also though, im close to Watford though.

Turns out that the fault in Watford had nothing to do with my problem. Engineer came out within 30 minutes of my call to VM and has fixed the problem. Thanks

Re: Internet down in Watford area
Still down, hopefully the 5.30 estimated fix time is accurate!

We've been advised it's restored. Can you try a reboot of your modem.

Re: Internet down in Watford area
Just rebooted and still the same - the modem isn't issuing an IP to whatever it's connected to.
