No connection

JBJBJB — Thu, 16 May 2024 19:32:43 GMT

I've had no broadband connection for over a week due to an issue at the local exchange in kidbrooke.

However the main website states no reported issues with broadband

It would need to be quite a widespread outage to show up on the website, @JBJBJB.

Staff will be back on here during the day. It will save time if you complete your community forum profile details for them to identify your account.

Add your Talktalk landline number or account number in Personal Information. Go via your avatar/name; settings; drop down menu....SAVE CHANGES.

Staff reply Monday to Friday.

@JBJBJB, please follow up on this thread by hitting the reply button.

Creating new threads just causes confusion etc.

Extra threads will just get moved out of the way.

Being a newbie I didnt realise how important the subject heading was for others so I created new post

Any post on a separate thread is going to enter the workflow as a separate topic and sometimes attracts effort from multiple staff at once, so that's why you are asked to simply follow up on the one thread, @JBJBJB.

It just keeps the process simpler for everyone, and gives staff a chance to reach more customers rather than duplicating work.

Still no connection. Exactly the same just flashing amber light in router

Chat says it’s the same fault since May 7th.

JBJBJB — Sun, 19 May 2024 17:29:55 GMT

Why am I getting false reports every day saying the issue is fixed. The communication is terrible! Email says engineer has resolved the problem.

Re: No connection

JBJBJB — Sun, 19 May 2024 17:31:36 GMT

Then the progress che her says two different things with an update dated ex to the same day and time

This system doesnt know its *@#][!![]'#[@#]!* from its elbow. It’s bad enough being without any service for ten days but to not be informed and have to chase with chat, calls and this online space and then to be told inaccurate info!! I can’t understand how a company thinks this is acceptable customer service. No wonder it’s going out of business!

Hello again,

The line has detected a DIS fault so I've re-escalated this to an Openreach line engineer now to investigate. I'll check the fault in a couple of hours and will post back with another update.

Thanks

Michelle

Good afternoon,

I've checked and the fault is still under investigation with Openreach, no additional updates as yet. I will check again first thing in the morning.

Thanks

Michelle

Hi JBJBJB

Openreach have now closed the fault as resolved.

Is everything working ok now?

Morning,

Just checking back in to see if your connection is now working ok for you?

Thanks

I’ve started cancellation of contract.

Even this morning status says fixed but when I ask online chat to run a test they confirm outage and say engineer is out fixing it although they can’t tell me what location the engineer is in. I don’t think they even check the fault just text the scripted reply.

Been through the same process every day for two weeks now!!

Hi JBJBJB

Apologies for the delay.

Just to confirm, you are still experiencing this fault? (no sync)
