Broadband?!! No Broadband!!!

SteHul91 — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 22:56:17 GMT

I am in a very hard place atm and wondering if someone can help.

I am a new customer moving over from virgin and tbh its the worse decision ive made. My "Go Live" date was the 25th February and to this hr i still have no connection

TalkTalk are saying its an issue with BT line outside my house and dont want to deal with it and nothing to do with them but yet im hearing nothing from anybody! Its a disgrace. I have no idea what to do? Maybe ombudsman

Hi SteHul91

Thank you.

I can see that this fault is with Openreach. They have advised that work is needed to be done on the complex distribution point side and the complex engineering team will be working on the job to get it resolved.

The completion date of work is set for 15/3/22 please review it on 16/3/22.

Thanks

Debbie

This is what im really struggling to get my head around.

Why as my serice provider is more not being done? Why are you not getting BT to fix this Today, Tomorrow? My "Go live" date was the 25th February. How is please check on the 15th March remotely acceptable when in this day of age peopke are still required to work from home. Its impossible

Hi SteHul91

I am sorry for the delays.

As per the notes from Openreach this is a complex fault which can't be resolved in one day. Openreach are working to fix this fault as quickly as possible.

This is now a fault and not a go live delay.

Hi SteHul91

Unfortunately we have no control over the work required or the time it takes to resolve this fault.

If Openreach had not picked up this fault to investigate then we could escalate this but they have and are working to fix this.

Openreach have identified the fault and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible, we can't change their estimated resolution date.

No but what you could possibly do is get on the phone on a daily basis asking them whats going on trying to find out whats taking them so long. What im doing to you as nobody is telling me anything.

@SteHul91 you've already been advised of the expected completion date, it's in the hands of Openreach, there is no point hassling staff here.

You should get some compensation when it is all fixed, put "automatic compensation" in the search box at the top of the page for a little light reading.

Hi SteHul91

Openreach wont provide a daily update as they have provided an estimated resolution date and are working to fix this external complex fault.

I will check the fault again today to see if any additional updates have been provided and if they have then I will post them on this thread.

Thanks

Debbie

I can appreciate how frustrating the situation is but not sure why you are blaming TalkTalk. It's an issue with the Openreach network and you would be in the same position had you gone with any of the ISPs who rely on Openreach to provide the infrastructure for their services.

TalkTalk are passing on the only information Openreach are willing to provide to them regarding the estimated resolution time.

I am blaming TalkTalk becuae they are my service provider who are not providing a service. What else. You wouldnt buy a TV from currys or argos and have them turn around and say im really sorry but deal with it, the problem is with Samsung not us

Re: Broadband?!! No Broadband!!!

AllyM — Sat, 12 Mar 2022 12:19:07 GMT

@SteHul91 ,

The point is that TalkTalk are not dismissing your problems or refusing to deal with it. They have done everything in their power. If Openreach have said they can't get the work completed until a particular date, there's nothing the ISP can do to make it happen faster.

Hi SteHul91

I will check on this fault again tomorrow as Openreach's notes advise that the engineer is scheduled for 15/03.

Thanks
