We had a thunder storm yesterday and the internet went out after a thunder strike.

I don't think it hit my house but the nbn box is now flashing red and making a constant clicking noise.

Please help

 

This has been resolved. It was the NBN box fried by the lightning. An NBN guy came and replaced the box.

Hi Alanguide,

thanks for replying to my post.

Here is a photo of my NBN modem

I see you are on FTTC.  Sorry, my knowledge relates to FTTN replaced by FTTP. However, I can confirm that a direct or close lightning strike can damage mains connected electronic equipment, though TPG may suggest trying a reset
