Multiple engineer visits and so many issues

Over the last month or so my internet has had random intermittent drop outs almost everyday.

On top of that the speed slowly drops lower and lower each time until an engineer comes to fix it.

I've seen multiple of them now and the issues continue.

 

I've been given a replacement router, still issues, I've done so many different things and I even decided to stay when i was about to leave for Sky since I was offered a deal to stay (still haven't recieved my £130 Amazon Voucher anyway). I'm at my wits end with this, The speed is reaching low levels again and I'm gonna have to call another engineer to come and fix it.

 

It's also not an issue of Wifi vs LAN connection as my PC is linked via LAN.

Hi Setto

 

I'm so glad to hear that that the engineer was able to locate the fault.

 

The line test is now clear. If you do experience any further issues then please let us know.

 

I have also sent you a Private Message with a link to a short survey for our Community Team.

 

Thanks

Hey there, He found out the box at the top of the pole outside not only had no lid but the wires were so brittle they came apart at the touch. So the engineer replaced the wires in the box and so far I've had no issues at all. Could you run a test to see if a fault still comes up?.

Hello,

 

Thanks for confirming. The line test is still recommending we arrange an engineer visit if all testing has been completed. Would you like to go ahead with this? Please can you confirm that you accept possible time related charges and also provide some availability AM and PM and we can book this in for you.

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

Can I just confirm, do you mean that the router is connected to the test socket behind the faceplate?

 

Thanks

Hey, I only have one telephone socket. I moved in when i had to paint all the walls and check all the corners so i've done a very thorough check of the house. From looks of this guide I have a standard main socket with a NTE 5C MK 4. It's disconnected around 4 times since ive been in the house today so it's gotten much worse and I'm not sure why.

Hi Setto,


Could I just ask, how many telephone sockets do you have and which type of master socket do you have - Your guide to main phone sockets - TalkTalk Help & Support?

 

Thanks

When I replied to you It's now using a microfilter. I set it up and it's staying in until you do your test. Sorry for confusion.

Morning,

 

Apologies for the confusion, do you mean that the router was connected to the test socket via a microfilter just now?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Tests are picking up an issue and I'm also seeing error spikes on the downstream channel. A repeat engineer is required. When is it best to arrange this ?

 

Thanks  

Karl.

Hi there, I've had around 3 disconnections today but that was the first time since the Engineer visited. However they were very close together.
