Eero and grandstream VOIP

Has anyone been successful with VOIP through eero and Grandstream adaptor. Had futurefibre 150 installed 10 days ago, there was a fault outside the house which has 'apparently' been repaired but internet still drops out and VOIP phone is a disaster.  Phone sometimes has dial tone but does not ring out, sometimes has engaged tone, sometimes the phone is dead and sometimes if you do manage to make a call it suddenly goes dead.  I have been told that the eero and grandstream have been trialed successfully but no-one seems to know much about them including the technical team.  They are sending be a different talktalk wifi hub.

I'm concerned that it might still be a fault on the new fibre installation and not the equipment.

I previously had fibre35 through the old copper telephone wire and had no problems with broadband just a crossline on the telephone which I hoped this new fibre would solve.

Yes please, I have tried to get them this morning but just keeps ringing out.  The internet has been extremely slow all weekend and phone hasn't worked for more than a couple of calls.

Hello,

 

I'm really sorry to hear this. Would you like us to try and arrange for someone from the Future Fibre Team to contact you directly?

 

Thanks

Router arrived Saturday afternoon and SURPRISE SURPRISE IT WAS YET ANOTHER EERO.  Not amused.  But I set it up, took me over an hour and SURPRISE SURPRISE IT IS NO DIFFERENT. Pages won't load, internet drops out and telephone is a complete waste of time - either rings engaged or drops out of call.  This is a useless service.

I thought I was getting a WifiHub2 to see if that would solve the fault.  I now have 3 Eeros and a Wifihub with no telephone socket.

I will repeat again I NEVER had any of these problems on fibre35 through my old copper landline.

HI Chris this afternoon I have been unable to access some sites because page won't load and been redirected too many times.

Also one strange thing that happened last night and again now on my phone, my location from IP address in usually a local address Wolverhampton but since last night my IP location is Milford Haven .  Last week I noticed it was somewhere down South, Chichester maybe but I didn't pay much attention.  Also couldn't immediately get onto this site as error came up as 'network change'.

Haven't used internet today apart from replying to you.  Phone appeared to work once but dropped out mid conversation and then would only give engaged signal. Will let you know what happens this afternoon.  Any joy with knowing why we are not being sent a hub2?

sorry Chris, could only see the light on the top of the Eero from where I was sitting at my laptop.  The light went red for about twenty seconds, maybe more, I was browsing internet for BBC news and all sorts of error messages were coming up ending in 'no internet' which made me look at eero.

Hi Gleha,

 

Did you notice if the lights changed on the ONT when the connection dropped?

Chris I would also like to add that this evening, Wednesday 23 March, Internet has dropped out repeatedly.  Pages wouldn't load in browser, Eero router light changed to red as computer said 'no internet'.  I cannot remember this happening at all when I was on the fibre 35 through the old copper telephone wire.  We are not running loads of devices, there are 2 of us with 1 laptop, one android tablet and 1 chromebook, not exactly pushing it to the limit.  Of course phone line is not working either.

No Chris, no router has arrived.  

Just to go over what has happened to date.  I went on to the chatline before installation day to ask when my new equipment would arrive.  I was told (I have the transcript printed out) that the wrong equipment had been sent to me - that is an eero and voice adaptor which wouldn't work because there weren't enough ports on the eero - Alisha (chat line') said what I needed was a wifihub2 and she would send me one hopefully in time for installation (not being a techie I didn't query this) NO wifihub2 ever arrived.

Engineer came to install, he said talk talk did not have VOIP which confused me even more, he said I would still be able to use old phone line.  He left and phone was working on old line.

I rang fibre team they said I had correct equipment and we set it up.  Phone on new fibre  did not work and Internet kept dropping out, too late to ring team as it was late Friday.  Monday morning phone would not work anywhere.

Rang fibre team - there was a fault on the line outside the house.  This was no rectified until the Friday, twice they said they had corrected it without coming to the house but eventually they came and repaired the installation.  Those engineers tried to get phone to work through adaptor,  swopped cables, rebooted etc.  It worked for 2 calls and has been intermittent since.  Internet regularly drops out - something we never had through the  old telephone line.

Phoned fibre team lots of discussion, couldn't find another fault on the line.Eventually Fabio suggested a Wfiihub2, I thought this was  a downgrade but he said not, I agreed to try it (desperate)  I really need my landline.

Wifihub arrived within 2 days but it was not a wifihub2, we discovered then  when we tried to connect phone and no socket for it.  Rang fibreteam, they explained what socket should be there but wasn't, promise me a hub2.

Eero arrived!!!  Phoned again , many apologies and promised me that their manager would OK a wifihub2 - that was last Thursday, she said that as it was before 4pm (it was pm) it might come Friday.

NOTHING has come.  I'm not even sure a Wifihub2 will cure the complaint.

I have been with Talktalk/tiscali for over 20 years and this is really upsetting me.

Is there something in your systems that changes orders after they have been sanctioned by the team and refuses to send out wifihub2s.

If you can't get to the bottom of this Chris, please can you let me know how to escalate my complaint.

Thank you.

Hi Gleha,

Thanks Chris.  I have not received router today, I did contact the fibre team and they say that a request had been made from them last week but they do not have a tracking number.  I note that previous wrong router that arrived had a 48 hour tracking label and was marked as delivering on Mon-Sat so now we are at 4 working days of non -delivery.  Of course it may still arrive today.  Surely there must  be a way from your end to see if a router has gone out to my address in the last 4 days.  Anyway, you have said that you will follow up on this and I trust you will do that, thank you.

Monday 21  we were told Thurs 17th a wifihub2 would be on its way to us and because it was before 4pm (it was 3pm), it might arrive Friday.  It hasn't arrived yet, (4pm) Monday. I realise it could be 3 to 5 working days but just want it posted here to draw attention to not yet having it.  As this is the 3rd promise I am wondering if there is no stock of them. Meanwhile because phone line only works occasionally I am now getting notification that I am close to using all the minutes in my mobile plan.

We were expecting a wifihub2  for the second time having received a wifihub (not with ata phone socket).  We received another Eero instead.  

Not amused.  Have spoken to fibre team and they have promised a Hub2. 

We have broadband issues and phone issues.  

If this does not work I want to go back to the Fibre 35 through my old copper line and complain bitterly about the crossline on the telephone and try to get that resolved.
