For queries about your TalkTalk broadband service.

Hi there! Can anyone tell me why the devices listed in MY DEVICES are duplicated over and over.
According to the list I have 20 devices connected to my new sagecom router all working correctly.!!!!!
In fact I only have 11 devices, 2 of which are not on the list.
The other devices are duplicated over and over.
One device appears 4 times and others 2 times. No way for me to amend it and TalkTalk no help.
Any ideas?????

Hi Michelle, I clicked on My Connection which did a usual check on the line,previous fault status etc .
I was informed that there was a problem with the line and requested a comprehensive line test which could affect my broadband for 10 minutes.
This test resulted in a case being opened ref. no. REP-14288558
Today My Connection puts up a track my fault page- some more checks are needed.
'We've been unable to identify a clear fault with your service' However we can see that you may be experiencing problems with WI-Fi throughout your home.
Please note that Openreach was here last week and all has been fine since, until now

Good afternoon,
I'm sorry to hear this. I've run a test on the line now which is clear. Can I just confirm, what can you currently see in your My Connection?
Thanks

Hi there, here we go again.!
My Connection is throwing up further problems with my internet connection.
Should I post a new problem or will it be a continuation of this one.
They will need to be linked together so you can see the case history.

Hi Soloman,
Thank you for the update and I'm glad to hear that the fault has been resolved. Apologies that this wasn't resolved in the first instance. If you do need any further support then we are always here and happy to help.
Thanks

Hi Debbie, Thanks for that.
A big thank you to Chris for taking the steps to go one step further to fix this problem.....Hopefully!!!!
My last word on this matter is a plea to review the training of agents at call centres.
My issue has been going on for over A YEAR! Everyone hangs their hat on a line test which in my case was always clear yet dropouts/reconnections were happening all the time.(4 routers!!!!!)
Due to my persistance an Openreach Engineer found a fault at the exchange on 8/4/24 but the problem persisted.
on 1/5/24 an Openreach Engineer found a fault in a cabinet despite the fact the line is clear.
For 12 months we have been struggling with a poor service in every regard from Talktalk until this occasion.
Sometimes my only way I could connect to the internet was by my Mobile Data.
Please review the way these faults are investigated.
I will never phone the Talktalk helpline again and will use this method of communication in future.

Hi Soloman13
Thanks for your reply.
I've checked the engineers report and the notes advise -
Actions to resolve: Fault located in E side / PCP. Resolved issue in PCP. Engineer hasn't found any issue with modem / router. Engineer hasn't found any issue with extension wiring.
The fault was located and fixed at the cabinet. If you do experience any further issues then please let us know.

Hi Chris, the Engineer has been!
He located a high resistance fault in the cabinet about half a mile away and repaired.
He also located what he called a 'blip' on the last pole before going underground but could not gain access to test due to a tree overgrowing the pole. However when the cabinet fault was cleared the blip went away.
All was green on his handset but should I experience further problems the underground team will be needed and I assume some pruning work.
Could I get a copy of his report??
The websites are loading a lot quicker and all looks good.
After all this time 12 months plus but I am keeping my fingers crossed never the less!

Sorry about this but I have just been informed that the plant demonstration that I have been expecting for months is coming tomorrow morning as well.would you believe it !!!!! Could the Engineers appointment be rearranged or I could juggle between the two if need be. I dont know what my involvement with the Engineer will be. Do I just have to provide access?

Apologies, I can't see where you've specified times when you'll be available or do you just mean that you're available any weekday, AM or PM?

I accept the potential engineers charges and am available during the specified times.

I'm sorry but as I've said, I can only book the engineer when you've confirmed that you accept potential charges. If you are charged for the engineer visit and you think that the charge was incorrectly applied then you can contest the charge

Will you tell me when they are coming or does Openreach contact me direct?

Chris you have confirmed that there is a reconnection issue with the line and it is up to Talktalk to correct the issue.
If the only way forward is to get an Engineer on your recommendation then so be it. Surely there is no question that the fault exists as you can testify and Open reach is responsible for the line into the house including the box.
I am available during the times specified.

If there's a fault with the line then there will be no charge. I'm sorry but we can only book the engineer if you confirm that you agree to potential charges
