Thank you Keith, I have forgotten my log in details for my forum account. My fault has been logged with open reach, I have been in touch with tt by WhatsApp and they have given me two different dates. Apparently a new line is needed from the box in the pavement and under my lawn. I think open reach has to phone me when they can start. Meanwhile we have no phone. Once again thank you for your reply to my post. ( personal details have been included ) Best regards Vic

I am slightly confused, both of your two recent replies were on the forum, so you must have been able to login to this any way to make those posts. TalkTalk should pick this up tomorrow hopefully & will deal with the landline not working.

Hello,

Thank you. I've checked this with Openreach and the latest update is that this is a complex fault which is underground and new duct work is required. The fault is currently with stage 2 team for the dig and duct work and the target resolution date is for 23/04 and they have asked us to check back for an update on 24/04. We'll check back on this date and will post an update back here.

Thanks

Michelle

Hi theoldvic

Openreach have now closed the fault as resolved.

Is everything working ok now?

Hi Debbie, Everything seems to be ok, but talktalk says there is a fault in my home and wants me to book an open reach engineer. I am a little confused.

Hi theoldvic

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to hear that everything is working ok.

Do you receive this message when running a test using My Connection?

Yes

HI theoldvic

Thanks for your reply.

The line test has detected a potential line fault towards the property.

I think you may be receiving this message because there is an open fault ticket with TT even though Openreach have closed the fault as resolved.

If you do experience the same fault again then we will need to book an engineer visit to the property to investigate.

Would you like me to close the current fault ticket for now or would you prefer to monitor the line for another week?

Hi theoldvic

How's the connection/line been since last week?
