Network outage since 28 Nov Evening

[AnnykW]

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a repeated topic but the TT network in my area has been down since Thursday evening. After contacting the technical support via live chat, I note that they booked an Open reach engineer for investigation and it'd take 2-3 working days. Does it mean that we only know what's wrong with our network but not getting back our internet connection at home? If so, I don't think the compensation for the days I had no services would be fair enough, because I can't work from home and have to travel to office for more than 3 days a week. That will involve  transportation cost of £10-11 for an extra day that I need to travel to office. If I travel 2 more days to office next week, the extra transportation cost will be nearly equivalent to the monthly cost of Talk Talk contract. Can the staff give me some clues on when the issue of the network in my area can be solved? Or will there be extra compensation if the issue can't be solved within one week? Thanks a lot.

@AnnykW, it's tough and stressful when we don't have our internet, but what you signed up to was a residential service and the liabilities that Talktalk has reflect that contract.

There is a Talktalk for Business service available which might be more suitable for working from home.

However the automatic compensation scheme for your current situation is quite generous and kicks in after the initial time allowance for giving engineers a chance to fix it. Please see the details here:

It is credited up to 30 days after resolution of the issue.
