Flashing green base light on a Hub3 (?) usually means loss of network connectivity. If its known and being worked on and now the fix estimate time has changed - then what is going on is that its taking the fix team longer than they first thought.

In that case they usually update the info on the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues down to street cab/ postcode level.

What is that reporting for you?

It is saying different times all the time it's not fair that it's doing this because at the end of the day everyone is suffering do you guys not know what's going on

Nope... no-one but the people working in the hole/street cabinet fixing the issue know whats actually going on - and they just update the system when they have fixed it or know it should be fixed by x-o.clock.

When this happened to us last year I just wandered round the block past the street cab and down to the main road where 2 VM Vested guys were working in a hole in the street with the United Utility guys looking on. I just asked them what's it looking like -and they replied it was just a simple cable cut through issue and would take another couple of hours to get it sorted - which it did.

TBH thats the best way to find out reality rather than talking to CS agents who are thousands of miles away - but not always possible of course:-)
