My connection keeps tripping out / buffering .
Had 3 separate technicians visits and new router.

Can anyone help?

HI puregold24carat
Apologies for this.
The line tests this morning have detected a potential fault so I have passed this straight over to Openreach to be investigated by a line engineer.
I will continue to monitor for additional updates.
Thanks
Debbie

Hi Chris 🙂 ,
It's been fair - tripped out 3 times for around 1 or 3 mins . Why that happens , i don't know and to be honest i am really surprised at this as now rolling on 3 months +. Can i just have a solid connection ?
kind regards ,
Anil.

Hi puregold24carat
As the issue doesn't qualify for auto-compensation we will add a £5 discount for the next 3 months as an apology.
This will be shown on your next bill.
Regards

Hi Michelle 🙂 ,
The service has been sporadic over the 3 months . Sure its not a complete loss of service but there you have as it's been logged here for past 3 months .

Hi Gliwmaeden2 🙂 ,
It's a new socket provided by BT engineer on his last visit. The fault is from this and not the original socket .
kind regards,
Anil.

@puregold24carat, check the details in the auto compensation link.
It's a specific amount for total loss of service faults, after the initial couple of days.
It sounds as though the fault in your case is either the faceplate or your internal wiring, which are not counted as the responsibility of the ISP.

Apologies for the confusion, our compensation policy for faults is for Total Loss of Service faults only.

Hi,
Ok, no problem 🙂 The reason that it's a chargeable visit is because Openreach maintain the service up to the test socket so the faceplate and any internal wiring is classed as customer equipment. In regards to compensation, I've included a Help Guide below which has more information on this.

Thanks

Hi Michelle 🙂
Ah....no need for a visit just for a faceplate. Will leave the wires as they are .
Is there any refund for not having proper service for past 3 months ?
kind regards,
Anil.

Unfortunately we don't provide/stock faceplates. We could arrange a TalkTalk engineer visit to replace the faceplate, however I just need to advise that this would be a chargeable visit.

Hi Michelle 🙂 ,
I agree the issue is the faceplate .
Rather than fiddling with the setup ( as its working fine ) possible to send a new faceplate ?
kind regards,
Anil.

Hi,
Ok thanks for confirming. It could be that the faceplate may be faulty. You could try re-connecting the faceplate again to see if the connection is still unstable. If it is then it would be ok to keep the router connected at the test socket.
Thanks
Michelle

Good morning 🙂
I'm really glad to hear this 🙂 This would suggest a possible issue with either the faceplate or any internal wiring connected to the faceplate. Do you have any extension sockets?
Thanks
Michelle

Hi Michelle 🙂 ,
Sorry for late response - wanted to give it some time as had many false dawns .
The connection - since your recommendation - is holding very well as not seen a red light on the router.So no buffering / tripouts / dropouts on signal .
This is good news as it finally brings the 3 month issue to an end . Phew !
Well done Michelle and a big thank you too 🙂
Question : does the socket need a new face covering or do we let the wires ( with micro filter and phone cable ) hang loose ?
kind regards,
Anil.
