Hi,
My broadband has worked flawlessly for over a year. We have a plasterer in at the moment and he has loosened the front of one of our telephone sockets. I noticed last night that my broadband has stopped working upstairs, not on the socket he loosened.
However, I've checked the wires inside and they all seem to be connected, and the telephone works fine out of the same socket that broadband fails to work from.
I'm therefore assuming this is coincidence, or is the wiring different from broadband to normal telephone wiring?
I've sent an email to my ISP but I dont expect to hear anything useful back from them for a while, so I'd appreciate it if anyone knows about whether the wiring could be disturbed and affect only broadband and not telephone, or would it affect both if there was a loose wire?
The power has also been on and off a bit too, so its possible my router has blown too I suppose.
