No internet in hot weather

Hi 

Hope I can get some advice . During every spell of hot weather our internet goes off for the majority of the day 12pm -7pm . This has been happening for 2 years now ! 

we have had several engineers out , replaced router , checked connections- all fine . I’ve checked family safe locks (all off)!

 

i’m wondering if the box holding the cables into the house is getting the direct sun and heating ? Please can anyone offer any advice ? 

thank you

The router was replaced last year . However , this is a recurrent problem which only happens in hot weather.  They have tried a new router and the same problem still occurs . 

As you can imagine it’s incredibly frustrating . We have tried switching the router in and waited 20 mins as advised . 

Thank you for your help

So the router was replaced within the past 4 weeks, when all this started, @Rose66# ?

 

If it were not so new, @Debbie-TalkTalk would probably hope to first try another one before sending out an engineer, in case the fault is with the equipment.

We only have 1 router so not sure what this means . 

we have had engineers out (you can see the log) so not sure what to do . We cannot go on like this . 

Please can you arrange for an engineer visit .

Hi Rose66#

 

The line test is clear - no faults detected.

 

If you have tested with a different router at the test socket then the next step will be an Openreach engineer visit to the property.

 

Would you like me to arrange this visit?

I'll re-escalate this for you, @Rose66#.

 

Staff are not on here this late in the afternoon. They should pick it up on the morning.

Hi Rose

 

Have you noticed if there is any noise on your telephone line when the internet connection drops?

Hi Rose66#,

 

Was the weather hot? Did it just come back on, on it's own, or did you reboot the router?

Hi Rose,

 

If you'd like to discuss compensation it would be best to post in the billing section once the issue has been resolved
