Line still faulty?

[iustitia]

Was having very slow speeds, ran the line test and it detected a fault on the line. The engineer came and supposedly fixed it but it's still exactly the same.

@Ericfyfe, you have posted on another customer's thread, which was an issue back in January. 

If you have had trouble with VOIP this weekend, keep track of the updates on the Service Status Dashboard:

https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Service-Status-Dashboard/bd-p/service

If they announce it's resolved, and your phone connection still seems out of action, please return to the message board and click on start a topic to begin your own thread.

Hi

Engineer paid a visit, everything working as it should.

Thank you.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

No problem  

[iustitia]

Ok, thanks.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Thanks. Line test is still failing so I've raised this to Openreach as a non-appointed task. Openreach will investigate over the next few days and may contact you directly if they need to access your home

You can run the test anytime.

Thanks.

Hi,

Ok, connected to the test socket now. Still getting the same slow speeds

which have dropped to 15Mbs down 10Mbs up.

Hi @iustitia 

Ok, thanks. As soon as the router is at the test socket then I will run the line tests.

Post back to let staff know when you have managed to set it up at the test socket.

They are on here early in the morning till mid afternoon, Monday to Friday, so they'll let you know the test result any time they have reached your thread if you can confirm you're set up with it at the test socket. 

It doesn't take much time to actually run the tests, but let them know what time is NOT convenient  - there'll be a little while of down time while they are testing, @iustitia, and you don't want that happening in the middle of you trying to get something important done.

Hi

Sorry not at home right now, will let you know when i can do it.

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi @iustitia 

Please can you connect the router at the test socket just whilst I run another line test? If the same fault is detected then I can pass this straight over to Openreach to be investigated by a line engineer.

Thanks

Debbie

It's worth checking whether your master socket has a test socket, @iustitia. The various types are explained here:

https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Articles/Your-guide-to-main-phone-sockets/ta-p/2205432

Staff will need to run tests with the router at the test socket to eliminate certain factors from the diagnosis of the problem. 

[iustitia]

HI,

no it isn't

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi @iustitia 

The line test is detecting a potential fault. Is the router currently connected at the test socket?

[iustitia]

Hi

About 15Mbps up and about 20Mbps down.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Hi justitia,

What speeds are you getting when you run the speed test?

Please check back for a reply from staff after the weekend, @iustitia.
