I need quicker internet

Foxy1989 — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 16:24:51 GMT

Hi, do you know when or if they are going to put in a faster line down my road? The package I've got isn't going to fast enough, but it seems I can't upgrade 😞

I need to change to something quicker within the next few months for my job. I would be sad to go as I've never had any problems, but I have been looking and Virgin seem to have a quicker package. So if I did leave how much is the breakup fee?

Thanks

Luke

An estimate of your early termination fees can be made from the information on this page, @Foxy1989:

You will be kept informed if Full Fibre becomes available in your area. If it's essential to plan ahead for your work, check out comparison websites in the normal way.

Talktalk requires 30 days' notice.

Hi Michelle I seem to have lost my connection, I did the test my line thing and it appears to to have a fault and says top check back in a few days. Was wondering if the road works in my area had anything to do with it? Also if there is anything I can try to do my end to get it up and running?

I have added the talk talk number to my alternative number section. Although I don't have a phone plugged into the wall so it can't be used

@Foxy1989, the landline number is only used to identify your account.

Staff won't attempt to call you. All support is online. Look for their response during the day.

They are on here Monday to Friday.

Morning,

I'm sorry for the delay. I've run a test on the line now which is clear but I can see re-connections on the line. Does your main socket have a test socket please?

Thanks

I sent this earlier but I replied on G-Mail, just thought that you might of not got that because I didn't post on here

"Not sure the main socket has two ports, ADSL and a normal phone port. Took it apart and took a picture for you, as well as my other equipment.

All I get is a flashing amber light on the router, and three solid lights on the open reach box. Power, ADSL, LAN lit up but Internet light is off.

Tried the reset pin on both the router and open reach. Holding down till the lights go off.

I was uninstalling some stuff on my PC with revo uninstaller pro, which scans for leftovers on your system when it stopping working, but not sure if that's anything to do with it as non of my other devices can connect, so I'm guessing it was just a coincidence. Unless you think otherwise?

Can't think of anything else

Thanks for your help"

Hi Foxy1989

The line test shows that the router is powered down, do you switch the router off?

Re: I need quicker internet

Foxy1989 — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 10:36:33 GMT

Yeah I did a bunch of test with someone on the live chat, but we came up short so we have arranged an engineer to come have a look. I left it turned off after that

Hi Foxy1989

Thanks for your reply.

We advise to leave the router switched on because DLM will be monitoring your connection and adjusting the profile/speed if the connection is stable.

Please let us know how you get on following the engineer visit.

Thanks again.

Debbie
