Internet Unusable - Extremely Slow

jamesk89 — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 15:21:04 GMT

Hi, the internet is unusable. The upload has been reduced to 0.18mb and this is the actual sync speed.

I have done a line test on Friday 16th which identified a fault - It said Engineer is on the way to the exchange.

Fault Reference: REP-14000281

It is now Wednesday 21st and there has been no update and no change to internet speed.

Please advise.

Hi James,

This is still in hand with Openreach. The notes on the fault ticket say that complex network solution is required to complete the job. Looks as though dig work may be required as 4 way traffic lights have been requested. I'll check for further updates tomorrow

Hi jamesk89

This fault is still with Openreach, it appears they are arranging the date for when the engineer can complete the works required.

I will check on this again this afternoon for updates.

Thanks

Hi jamesk89

Openreach have now closed the fault as resolved.

Is everything working ok now?

Re: Internet Unusable - Extremely Slow

jamesk89 — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 14:56:36 GMT

Hi, there has been no improvement. Upload is still terrible at 0.18mb.

Fault checker says there is a problem with our network, your services will be affected.

Please advise.

Hi James

I'm really sorry about this.

I've completed another line test and this still shows a fault (outage in your local area) so I have escalated this back over to Openreach so they have an open fault ticket for your line whilst they are working on this issue in the area.

Openreach must have closed the previous fault ticket in error but still appear to be working on this fault.

I will keep you updated as soon as Openreach provide further information.

Hi James

This fault is with the Openreach line engineers again.

I will let you know as soon as they provide anymore updates.

Thanks

Hi James

I'm just running a line test now because it's no longer showing linked to the outage in the area.

Is the connection still dropping?

Re: Internet Unusable - Extremely Slow

jamesk89 — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 12:59:48 GMT

Hi, yes it is still dropping every day and the upload speed has not increased? Can you advise what openreach work was done?

Regards

James

Debbie-TalkTalk — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 13:04:35 GMT

Hi James

The notes advise that underground cable work has been completed.

I'm just contacting Openreach now and I will post back shortly.

Debbie-TalkTalk — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 13:24:43 GMT

Hi James

I think we will need to arrange an Openreach engineer visit to the property as they have now closed the fault.

Would you like me to arrange this visit?

Please can you provide your availability AM and PM?

Re: Internet Unusable - Extremely Slow

jamesk89 — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 20:04:28 GMT

Hi, yes can you arrange an engineer visit for Thursday. AM is fine if not PM will do.

Regards

James
