Broadband help

For queries about your TalkTalk broadband service.

Home safe stopped working after engineer visit.

We had an engineer install full fibre broadband to our property on Friday. 

 

He put in a new terminal box and then connected it to our wifi hub using a cable supplied by Talk Talk.

 

Since then the home safe setting have not worked at all.

 

I contacted TT and they took me through all sorts of changes to our computers but nothing made a difference. It seems obvious that the change to fibre is the issues, but TT aren't being very helpful. I can expect a call from an engineer, but probably not until after Christmas.

 

This is too long to wait for me, so does anyone have any idea what might be happening? 

 

I thought it might be that the router is pointing at a new dns, but the dns is still 79.79.79.79

 

It's very perplexing and upsetting.

 

Thank you.

Old mobile number was on My Account details. Updated now. They must have used that one rather than on my forum info. Can I request another callback?

We don't use the landline and I have no missed calls on my mobile. I'll check that my mobile number is correct.

Hi Darren19701,

 

I've checked the notes and it looks as though they tried to call you on your landline and mobile. Notes say they left voice mail on your landline and couldn't get through on your mobile, do you have any missed calls on your mobile?

No phone call as of yet. We don't use the landline so I hope they tried to call my alternate number.

The engineer installed this:

He ran the yellow cable shown (supplied via post by Talk Talk) to our wifi hub router.

OK, thanks for the clarification. So when you said that the engineer has fitted a new terminal box, did you mean a new Master Socket?

My apologies for not having any understanding of what your customer types are. My package is called fibre 35. That's all I know! The installation visit wasn't even something I asked for. All the houses in my area are being done by Freedom Fibre.

Hi Darren19701,

 

Thanks for updating your profile. We thought you were a future fibre customer because of your comments in your first post about having full fibre installed. What service did you have before the upgrade?

Thank you. As far as I'm aware I'm not a future fibre customer? I've just a regular broadband account.
