DSL connection not working after "activation"


    Hello O2,

Summary: My new DSL connection is still not working even though activation was on 18.11.2022. I can connect my smartphone to the router via WLAN, but there is no internet. And with Festnetz telephone calls the analog phone dials the number but always results in an engaged tone.

   

My DSL Connection for my home was activated on 18.11.2022 (technician visited my home, did some work,  and then said that all is set up before leaving). Then a few hours later I got an email from O2 saying that  "Ihr Internet- und Festnetzanschluss ist jetzt aktiv". This is a new DSL contract (I did not move it from another address)
    But there is/has been no internet. The rented O2 homebox 3 has a solid blue WLAN light, a blue flashing DSL light (sometimes fast, sometimes slow), and the internet light is always flashing blue and red. When I go to 192.168.1.1 the Einrichtungsassistent says "DSL Kabel wurde korrekt angeschlossen" und below "Status der DSL Verbindung  - Hinweis:  nicht verbunden". There is no more Status information below that.
    Things that I have tried several times without success:
    hold down reset button for few minutes
    turn off router and unplug for ten minutes
    EN support redirected me to DE tech support (My German is ok but not great) who told me to hold, then as it got closer to closing time (20:00) I got cut off  - I heard someone just putting the phone down without saying anything.
    I tried the DSL app ("O2 my service") which could not help much because the router has no internet. But I got as far as I could and it gave me a reference number "955 331".
    The O2 homebox 3 has not yet allowed me to enter any pin or password or username.

Any ideas? I would appreciate if you could at least create a ticket. Thanks in advance.

@tobry Please call again the again. With a rented Homebox 3, the customer does not have to enter any data for a DSL.  This happens automatically.  Have the fear that the Telekom technician switched wrong in the DSLAM. 
Use again the app for a pre ticket number and call not to late. You are in Germany.

We drop the pen at the end of the day and go home. 😉

 

Hi @tobry 

Welcome to our o2 Community. 

Any update from your side?

Are you still offline, or is your DSL now up and runnin as planned?

Best Regards Matze  

P.S

Thanks Joe Doe for the support and the assistance 💙

Thanks Matze and Joe Doe. Sorry from my side for the delay - I forgot to check the forum.

I still have no DSL internet/ telephone.

I followed Joe Doe’s advice and called at an earlier time. The technical team said that they can see a problem and that they need to send a (Telekom?) technician who will first call me to arrange a visit. But I never got the call and when I phoned the technical team again 2 days later to follow it up they said that they cannot see any ticket on file. So it seems that I am back to square one. Since beginning of Dec I was too busy to sort it out further, but today I called again and a ticket was created (I think). I will keep trying with the German-speaking technical team and will report here if I get anywhere.

Hello @tobry,

I have had a look at your connection and according to our technical support your issue was fixed yesterday. Have you already been able to check it?

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Best regards

I contacted the O2 helpline to tell them to mark the Ticket as resolved. This is because I will move out soon so having a working DSL connection at the house that I am moving out from is not important anymore. Meanwhile I made a “Umzug” request online to move the contract to a new address and a connection date in Jan has been set.

anyway thanks @o2_Giulia for following it up. Recently I have been getting SMS messages asking me again to resolve the ticket by arranging a technician visit. Maybe the ticket has been set back to “unresolved”?

Hello @tobry ,

the ticket from the 28th December is currently still open, that’s why you have been getting contacted. If you don’t react it will get closed though.

 

Kind regards, Sven

update: the ticket is closed. Meanwhile the change to the new address went smoothly; DSL Internet is working at my new address.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and assistance.
