Intermittent WAN Connection

Message 39 of 39

I've tried to speak to the support centre this morning with no luck, I'm having continual network drops from my incoming fiber connection over the last 48hrs.

 

Please see the attached images, I'm in York and have heard reports of others experiencing the same issues. 

 

The support team over the phone won't help me because I'm not using the standard router, but as you can clearly see, the issue is with the incoming network connection from the street. 

 

This has worked fine for 2+ Years without issue, with no changes on my end.. the issue has to be with the incoming WAN connection. 

 

Please help.

Thank you @Michelle-TalkTalk as you can see this continues today... I factory reset the ONT box on the advice of one of your colleagues over the phone, but that unfortunately didn't improve anything. Outage durations below.

Morning,

 

I'm really sorry for the delay in getting back to you and also to hear this. I've contacted our Faults Escalation Team now to advise that your connection is still unstable and asked if they can provide an update on this ASAP.

 

Thanks

@badappleuktalk, there's only a skeleton staff covering Bank Holidays and not over weekends. 

 

If this is not reached today, it should be picked up again on Tuesday. 

 

To discuss leaving, you need to call the Loyalty team on 03451 720088, but they are unlikely to waive early termination fees if you have not waited for the follow up from forum support. You'd need to give Talktalk more time investigating.

@Michelle-TalkTalk This is completely unacceptable... after calling for the 3rd time, apparently a City Fiber engineer can't see any issues... what is going on!

 

Please can you advise of what options I have to end my contract given you can't reliably offer the service I'm paying for, I can see there are now other providers in my area who can offer the same speeds.

They have @Michelle-TalkTalk however they advised someone would be coming to our house today to resolve and unfortunately as of yet, no one has arrived. Frustrating as I’ve waited in all day.

Hello,

 

Thank you. I've passed this over now. I can see that there was planned maintenance work in your area but this was on 21/03 so may not be related. I've asked the team to take a look and I will post back as soon as I know more. It's also possible that the team may try and contact you directly.

Thanks Michelle, I don't use the eero.. I use UniFi Express - Ubiquiti

 

I've restarted the ONT when I thought there might be some intermittent issue, but this hasn't resolved it.

 

As you can see from the logs, the time interval is short between each drop, so each time i've not gone into the network room in the house to check. I'll do that next time I'm at home to see what it's doing, but I suspect they'll be flashing. 

 

Is there anything you can try on your end in the interim to stabilise the connection?

Hello,

 

Thank you. I've checked and I can't see any outages but I can see re-connections on the line. Can I just ask, have you noticed if any of the lights are changing on the ONT when the connection drops please? Are you using an eero?

We'll then look into this further. Please do not post this information on this thread. Once you've updated your profile please post in your topic to confirm it's updated.
