Is John Lewis broadband down?
When broadband services go down, you're unable to access the internet, streaming video, and email. In most cases, all of these will go down within minutes of each other. But how can you check if it's your internet provider that's down, or whether the problem is elsewhere?
First, check the cabling on your router. Confirm everything is plugged in, then attempt to connect on as many devices as you can. Also, try rebooting the router. Once you're certain there is a problem, you'll need to find another means of connecting to the internet so you can check the service status online.
Start by heading to the John Lewis service status page. This will show outages on broadband, phone, email, and web access.
If you discover there's a service outage then you'll need to wait until it's rectified - calling tech support won't help, and they'll likely be overwhelmed so you could end up waiting a long time to speak to anyone. If you can't see any sign of a wider issue with the John Lewis service using the above resources, then you should get in touch with customer services.
