How do I talk to somebody at talktalk

[pollygone]

My Internet connection stopped working on Tuesday so I went through the chat line procedure to try to get it back, after 4 hours of being passed backwards and forwards five times between technical and order management with technical saying it was an order management problem and order management saying it wasn't I gave up before my brain exploded. Can anyone tell me how to actually talk to talktalk and find out what is happening, I have tried phoning but as soon as I tell the bot it is a connection problem it directs me to the tech help chat line and hangs up. I am 70 years old and use my Internet to keep in touch with my family as I only have a small amount of mobile data allowance on my phone. If someone could help me I would be very grateful, thank you.

Hi Paul

I'm going to raise this as a complaint as it doesn't seem to be moving any further forward. One of our Complaints Managers will be in touch

Hi Chris, any progress on my FTTC connection.

[pollygone]

Hi Chris, sorry asleep during the day as working nights this week. I can confirm my landline number has been restored 😊 just need to get off ADSL back to FTTC now but happy that progress is being made.

Thanks Chris.

Hi pollygone,

How are you getting on, could you just confirm that you have your old telephone number back

Thanks

Chris

[Chris-TalkTalk]

I understand 🙂

[pollygone]

Thats great Chris thanks, although I wont celebrate until it actually happens 😏

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Hi Paul,

Yes thanks Paul, I did. Yes they'll put you back on FTTC once the number is ported back

Chris

Hi Chris, thanks for the update, some news at last.

Do you know if they are going to put me back on FTTC as well, being on ADSL at 9mbps is a nightmare.

Hope you had a good weekend.

Cheers

Paul

Hi pollygone,

There was an update on Friday (I was on holiday) saying that all previous orders have been cancelled and a new order placed to have your old number ported back to you.  It can take 7-10 days for the number to be ported back from when the order was placed on Friday. So there is is definite progress but I appreciate it is slow going. I'll continue to keep you informed about any further progress
