At least you haven't been caught up with the whole GEA issue
I'm not sure we'll ever find out what happened. I spent a while reading the thread you referred me to last night - specifically the epic 16 page thread.
Something definitely went wrong during the IP address provisioning process. The timing was immediate on their man pressing the button and the consumer to business regrade took place 3 weeks prior.
5 Openreach engineers all insisted the issue was with Zen's rack at the Exchange, plus a sixth higher level Openreach engineer who had clearance for the Exchange (N27 level was it?) agreed. Nothing was touched at my office, the ONT was never replaced and 3 different routers with new cables performed the same. Even the workstation wired directly to the ONT with a dial up PPPoE connection was intermittent.
Interesting to learn about the wider issue on Zen's side though.
Plus I learned a couple of things myself. Next time I'll start with is it switched on? And if it's not that we'll know it's DNS, it's always DNS. Except when it's cache invalidation.
Thanks again.
