Openreach 'Circuit defined number'.

Talentless — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 19:57:31 GMT

Good Evening,

Openreach worked on the pole outside our home today. Our landline is working but our broadband modem cannot now connect to the internet.

When we dial 17070 it gives a circuit defined number that's different from our landline number.

Should the circuit defined number be the same as the landline number?

Thanks for reading.

If you still need forum staff support, complete your community forum profile details with what should be your Talktalk landline number. Go via your avatar/name; settings; Personal Information. SAVE CHANGES.

Forum staff will not be back till after the New Year holiday.

When you dial up 17070, you should be hearing your normal landline number read back.

Me again,

The landline only works for calls out - incoming calls aren't being received.

Summary:

1. No broadband connection.

2. No incoming calls (but calling out is OK.

Definitely not OK then!

Follow up by phoning them in the morning.

Post back here if it seems to be resolved.

Otherwise please just wait till staff reply (i.e. next week) before posting further. This thread needs to keep moving forward in the queue for attention and further posts will push you back in the queue, which could be considerable by Tuesday.
