Hi gazrocks
I'm sorry to hear this.
The next step will be an Openreach engineer visit. I'm just sending you a Private Message to confirm some details so we can arrange this visit.
Thanks
Debbie

Hi gazrocks
The router is on its way, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.
Let us know how the connection compares with this router.
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for confirming. Ok, would you like us to send a replacement router first for testing purposes before we arrange an engineer visit? We would also send a router returns bag so that one of the routers can be returned.
Thanks

yes the router is currently connected to the test socket, there is sometime noise on the line, i do not have router to test it, this is the second time i have had problems with it, an engineer came out 3 weeks ago, he said before he left the line was fine and if i have any more problems it could be on talktalks end or the router no working properly, i have only been on fibre 35 for for 6 weeks.

Morning,
The line test is detecting a potential fault and recommending an engineer visit to the property. Can I just confirm, is the router currently connected to the test socket? Is the voice service ok with no noise on the line? Have you also tested with a different router?
Thanks

I have asked one of TalkTalk's support to pick your thread up and they will arrange it for you.
They aim to respond within 48 hours (Monday - Friday) excluding Bank Holidays, but if more urgent you can always try the Service Centre on 0345 172 0088. The posts are responded to in time/date order, oldest first. Please try to avoid posting on here until TalkTalk has responded to you, otherwise, this will just put you further down the queue.
