Broadband not working

My broadband has been down for 5 days. What is the time frame for fixing problems?

Have you reported the problem ?, if so how did you report it ?

What exactly is the problem, what light(s) are showing on the router ?

For one of the TalkTalk Support Team on this community to be able to look into this you will need to update your community profile to include :

Your name
Landline telephone number that your TalkTalk service is provided on (this is shown in ‘My Account’) OR your account number if you have Full Fibre with no landline
An alternative contact number

This will allow them to identify you, and they will then be able to help.

Don't post any personal details in this thread, just add them to your community profile (only you and the TalkTalk Support Team on this community can see your profile details).

Then they will hopefully be able to respond to this post tomorrow.

The broadband went down on Friday. Tried switching off for an hour and on again. I have also tried the test socket, but not working with it either. I just have a flashing orange light on the router. I reported it using the online tool and was messaging someone on Monday.

Ok, if the fault is out on the external network then the standard response time for Openreach to investigate a fault is 2 to 3 working days (for residential faults). Hopefully the support team here will be able to check tomorrow to see if there are any progress updates.

Morning,

I'm sorry to hear this. Both the line tests are clear, however it's indicating that the router is powered down. Is the router currently connected and switched on at the moment please?

Thanks

Hi Tommy,

Is your telephone service working OK, is there a dial tone?
