Internet down?

[peasblossom]

My internet connection has crashed about three times recently, all overnight. Each time I unplug the router and leave it a few minutes. But is this to be expected while Openreach do their thing (see status page on IDNet's website) or something else? I still have old fashioned copper broadband for the time being. (I have decided what to do one that front, incidentally.)

My internet goes down quite regularly at around 1.00am, usually for around 5 minutes. I've always assumed it's Openreach who is responsible but that is an assumption.

I've had PPPoE give a 10.100.xx.xx address to the router recently after midnight. Restarting the link gave the correct address.

It feel over again this afternoon (for nearly 90 mins - I was out) so I rang IDNet. Will tapped away on a keyboard, I rebooted the router. Will couldn't see any issues.

Any Openreach work going on in the locality?

[peasblossom]

I didn't ask specifically about that but I assumed Will's comment that there didn't appear to be any issues covered it.

In past experience, they don't always tell the ISPs if they're just working on a local cabinet. I'm not saying this is the problem, just that it's a possibility.

As I can see the green cabinet, I know there are no Openreach engineers loitering round it. My thought in the first post was there might be wider work going on, not just local stuff.
