Company vpn no longer working for 15 days

simonvpn — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 15:44:40 GMT

Hi Ive been without my Company VPN access since Thursday 5th sept after dealing with my company IT dept first and after an uninstall / install and a rebuild i still had the same problem no VPN access. Confirmed that my company VPN works on Virgin, o2, and Tesco Mobile Hotspot on my phone. Ive spoken to 8 different people as i was passed around and held repeated conversation about my situation multiple times. Unable to get past 1st line to 2nd or 3rd as this feels like a change has been made on the talktalk infrstructure. No one asked me for the DNS name... so unsure how a resolution was going to be made. Lots of agents stating AUP at me .. My line has worked for over a 15 years and the last connection i had was the 22nd of AUg .I have escalated to the CEO office on the 10th still no call from them, It appears that every time i ask if there has been any progress the CEO for call back date is pushed back. I have taken matters into my own control as i cant wait for Talktalk. ive booked an installation from another provider.

Hi Debbie can you explain what youve done please. As Ive spent many hours on the phone to broadband support 1st line with no fix being provided. 1st line will not pass to any 2nd or 3rd line support just a manager who recycles what ive already been through with a 1st line agent........ I am very interested to know what has been actioned as you have, within less than 24 hours resolved my issue. Thankyou very much.

Hi @simonvpn

I'm really sorry about this and I will feed back your experience.

I'm glad to hear that this is now working. I made a change to the router firmware and this has been flagged with our Devices Team who are investigating an issue with the new firmware and certain VPN clients.

Morning Debbie... Thanks again for resolving the Talktalk Router problem. I have a case raised with the CEO office and no one has reached out to me regards an update for nearly a month. is there not a time line for these sort of things......? Is it possible you can ask someone in the CEO office to give me a call please or send me a email with a number that works so i can call in asking for an update. thanks.

Hi @simonvpn

I'm really sorry to hear this.

Can I just check, has anyone contacted you during the last month (from the complaints team)

Have you had any missed calls?
