Message 49 of 49

Hi there, Need some help.

I have spent 5 hours on "Live Chat" with "Experts" over this issue

Speed when I have it is good. However I get "Connection Unavailable" on my 2 Iphones. My Echo Dot stops playing Radio and then comes back on. My television starts buffering and that is connected by Ethernet. I get DNS issues with webpages and Pages fail to render.
I have had 3 replacement Eero6 routers.
Surely somebody, other than "Live Chat technical experts"  know how to fix this. It started on the 4th of August
I was given an appointment for City Fibre to check the cable on Thursday nobody came to the property but I was told they had checked the cabinet and everything was ok.

- 9:01
Nobody has been from City Fibre yet I get this text from you. TalkTalk Update: Hello, following on from your recent fault, we have received confirmation from City Fibre that the fault is now fixed. If you're still experiencing problems, please reach out to us using this link, support.talktalk.co.uk. Thank you. Your TalkTalk Team.

Hi amahle-TT,
Did as you suggested 

5 options and none to speak to anyone just another Text from them to chat. A waste of time I am afraid. Not chatting for another 2 hours.

Thank you for your patience, Richard. I can see on your account that our last colleague ordered a new brand router for you at no cost. Please rest assured that you will not be charged for this. I have made all the necessary notes on your account, and the message you received regarding charges is from spam, so you can ignore it.

Hi Keith, Many thanks for that. Again probably actually speaking with someone would help.

Us 74 year olds are not great with texting chats😁

If only the fault were within your property, then I would be able to help you.

 

I will flag up to the manager of the TalkTalk support staff on the forum about the issues with the Full Fibre Helpdesk, to see if she can get this resolved.

I am not employed by TalkTalk, I'm just a customer. If my post has fixed the issue, please set Accept as Solution from the 3 dot menu.

Hi Keith, Thanks for yur reply.

I have been on that number which just transfers you to Live Chat with the "Technical Experts" who end up transferring me to Loyalty because they have no solutions.

8 times in 2 days over 5.5 hours on chat. 

We should all be able to speak to someone, not chat. I have been a TalkTalk customer (15 Years) for longer than some of them have been out of school.

regards  Richard

If these faults are purely with the CityFibre installation, then unfortunately, there is nothing else you can do other than contact the Full Fibre Helpdesk on: 0345 172 0074.

Their opening hours are Monday-Friday 08:00 to 19:00, Saturday 09:00 to 18:00, Sunday: Closed.
