I have asked one of TalkTalk's support to pick your thread up and they will arrange it for you.

They aim to respond within 48 hours (Monday - Friday) excluding Bank Holidays, but if more urgent you can always try the Service Centre on 0345 172 0088. The posts are responded to in time/date order, oldest first. Please try to avoid posting on here until TalkTalk has responded to you, otherwise, this will just put you further down the queue.

Morning,

The line test is detecting a potential fault and recommending an engineer visit to the property. Can I just confirm, is the router currently connected to the test socket? Is the voice service ok with no noise on the line? Have you also tested with a different router?

Thanks

yes the router is currently connected to the test socket, there is sometime noise on the line, i do not have router to test it, this is the second time i have had problems with it, an engineer came out 3 weeks ago, he said before he left the line was fine and if i have any more problems it could be on talktalks end or the router no working properly, i have only been on fibre 35 for for 6 weeks.

Hello,

Thanks for confirming. Ok, would you like us to send a replacement router first for testing purposes before we arrange an engineer visit? We would also send a router returns bag so that one of the routers can be returned.

Thanks

Hi gazrocks

The router is on its way, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.

Thanks

Hi gazrocks

I'm sorry to hear this.

The next step will be an Openreach engineer visit. I'm just sending you a Private Message to confirm some details so we can arrange this visit.

Thanks

Debbie
