If your fiber connection issue is due to a network fault or fiber cut outside your building, don’t worry — Mahek Broadband’s network team will handle it entirely.
These types of issues are usually area-level faults (like fiber damage on poles, ducts, or junction boxes) and are repaired by our field engineers — you don’t need to take any action other than reporting the problem once.
⚙️ 1️⃣ How to Identify an External Line Issue
You may be facing an outside line issue if:
| Symptom | What It Means |
|---|---|
| 🔴 LOS light blinking red on ONT | No optical signal reaching your premises — likely network or line fault |
| 🟠 Neighbors also have no internet | Confirms it’s not just your individual line |
| ⚙️ Technician says “main line fault” or “area outage” | Problem lies between junction box and main fiber hub |
| 💡 ONT and router both powered ON but no PON light | Indicates no signal coming from upstream source |
💬 If you and others nearby experience the same problem, it’s almost certainly a network-side line issue, not your router or internal cable.
🧩 2️⃣ How to Report the Issue
You can report it through any of the following channels 👇
🟢 WhatsApp (Quickest)

🧰 6️⃣ What You Can Do Meanwhile
✅ Keep your ONT and router powered ON — this helps our team test remotely.
✅ Do not unplug or move the fiber connector.
✅ Avoid frequent restarts while the issue is being fixed.
✅ If your plan expires during outage, renew it once service is restored — activation is automatic.
✅ Inform nearby users to report once (multiple complaints for the same outage aren’t needed).
🧠 7️⃣ Preventive Maintenance
To minimize future network faults:
- Ensure fiber cables from junction box to your flat are not hanging loosely.
- Avoid tying or bending cables near doors or balcony rails.
- Report any visible external fiber damage in your area — early alerts help us act faster.
