First post for a while so bear with me.

All of a sudden on Saturday morning my internet\phone died. I have a new fibre connection (2 weeks old) with Huawei ont and fritzbox. I have made the appropriate escalations with Snap and am waiting to hear from the tech's (Downer's) to come out, which will cost me $270 if the tech finds no issue with their equipment. Nothing has changed from my end it is a new house and the fibre is all in conduit right up to the fibre termination point (ftp).

What i am trying to find out is has anyone else had a problem where their fibre connection just stops, and did you get charged $270 from Snap. Symptoms:
Power solid green
LOS led on ONT flashing red
PON led no light
LAN1 led solid green
No visible light coming down the fibre out of the ftp (can't actually remeber if i could see this when in was working).

I wont carry on with the dont look into fibre - but there is no visable (to the eye) light signal coming out of an active fibre either from the side or end on.



Now back to your situation - Yes this does happen - sometimes by mistaked - plug in connections get pulled out that shouldnt or weren't quite 'clicked' in the first place and slowly vibrate out / or splices get broken or have to be remade when parts of the network have to be rearranged.

Sorting out a broken /misconnection is not charged to you. (Unless damage is attributed to you)

The ONT belongs to the LFC and is not part of your equipment and serviceing/replaceing if faulty is not charged to you .

If the fault lies with the RGW (router) this is considered to be part of your equipment and the service charge from Chorus will be charged to your provider / On chargeing to you is up to your provider (that is why they warn you of this)
