No Internet for 5 days ...so far

My internet has been down since 13/01/21

I've spoken to three pretty unhelpful people, had a new hub and still no connection.

I'm supposed to be getting a call from a manager, but I've heard nothing yet and I need internet for my work.

I'm in the middle of a 2 year contract and I think I need to cancel to get a service with a more useful customer service.

Is there someone from Talktalk that can offer some useful help?

Thanks.

Please post about this in the billing section, @ftwizard.

 

It often takes several weeks for the Future Fibre account to show up.

 

Staff will reply during the day, on your new thread. 

 

Edit: please look for a reply on your other thread, here:

Following on from the previous debacle, I recently had FTTP 150 installed (March 24th) as an upgrade from Fibre 65. My last bill was on March 18th, which was £24 as per the Fibre 65 contract.

Both the Fibre 65 and the FF150 are running concurrently. I'm a bit concerned that I may be paying for both packages at the same time.

Does anyone have any idea when the Fibre 65 contract will end, and when the FF150 will start. My account still says I have Fibre 65.

Hi ftwizard

 

The charge has been cleared. 

 

I will ask the auto compensation team to look into any compensation owed.

 

Sorry for any inconvenience caused

I'm staggered. I've received a bill this morning, and included on it is a £65 charge for an engineer visit, on 05-02-2022

Can someone tell me, after reading through this elongated thread, which part of this debarcle was my fault. They had to reset the street cabinet to fix it.

Am I reposible for the cabinet in the street now?

So, not only have I not seen a penny in compensation, I'm now expected to cough up an extra £65 for no good reason.

I can't express how stressful this has all been. Not to mention expensive.

HELP PLEASE....

Morning,

 

Thanks for the update and I'm glad to hear that the engineer has managed to resolve this for you. I've included a Help Guide below,

 

About your auto compensation credit

 

Thanks

After a call from TalkTalk on Friday, an Openreach Engineer was arranged for Saturday morning. After going through the usual procedures, they decided to reset the cabinet port card. Problem cured.

I'm glad they were able to fix the problem at last, but also amazed that this procedure wasn't tried already. Basically, turn it off and on again.

Anyway, it's fixed now and I await the compensation for my lost service. I must admit, I'm not holding my breath on that score, and expect a battle to get my just deserts.

Hi ftwizard,

 

I'm really sorry this is taking so long to resolve. I can now see the engineer notes and he seems to think that there's a problem with logging on to the time server and this is causing the problem. I'll pass this back to our network team and ask them how we can get this resolved

I didn’t understand much of what he said, but he did put in a report that indicated what he thought the problem was. 
it was something to do with servers. 
Perhaps you can check his report for the info you need.

Hello,

 

The TalkTalk Engineer visits are 2hr appointment slots. When would be the best time to arrange this for you? Just to advise the Sagemcom Wifi hub has a bronze background behind the front grill and the Huawei Wifi Hub has a black background.

Thanks

@ftwizard bear in mind that the Huawei and Sagemcom Wi-Fi Hubs do look pretty much exactly the same, however the Huawei has a completely black front, whereas the Sagemcom has a bronze colour behind the holes on the front.

Hi,

I have had 2 replacement routers, both seem to be exactly the same.

If it would be a TalkTalk engineer, then yes please. It would be a waste of time to send another Openreach engineer though.

So, if it's a TalkTalk engineer then a visit would be appreciated.

Hello,

 

The team have come back to me now and confirmed that they have re-checked everything from here and they can't see any reason why you can't load any web pages. They have suggested that we arrange a TalkTalk Engineer Visit to the property to investigate. Would you like to go ahead with this? Can I also just confirm, was the replacement router a different make and model to the original router you tested?

 

Thanks
