Internet down

[Z&R13]

Broadband has been down for a week now! I’ve reported twice on the phone and at least twice online to agents too. Often get cut off both the phone and the chat before any solution given. An engineer was supposed to be on their way on Tuesday 24th but we haven’t had a text to confirm that as yet. It’s an external issue but BT Openreach are uncontactable for residents, it has to come from the service provider. I’m paying for extra data, as mine ran out, so I can work online but no fun having zoom meetings on a phone (my laptop can’t connect to phone hotspot-before someone suggests that) We are without broadband, tv services and landline phone atm but still paying for it!

Has anyone got some advice please?

Hi

Openreach will not talk directly with you and just refer you o your provider.

I appreciate that you’re pushing them now however I wasn’t getting any assistance last week when it started, quite the opposite! 
Is it something that BT Openreach could help with? Considering they can’t actually fix the problem surely they’re responsible if TalkTalk can’t supply us with one? I’m losing work, wasting time and spending extra money.

Hi

I do appreciate this is frustrating, and we are pressing Openreach as much as we can towards a resolution.

TalkTalk Do not have the option to provide any mobile dongles for customers.

Thanks

Hi Karl, thanks for that. 
Can TalkTalk supply me with a mobile hub/router thingy? BT have sent some out to their customers because it’s taking so long to fix and with no end date either. I’m trying to do some interactive online work from home which is very difficult on my phone.  It’s over a week now with no internet and very frustrating!

Hi

This is a different Skilled engineer for FTTP Underground work.

Thank you for that information Karl, that’s helpful to know but still no light at the end of the tunnel! They told one of the neighbours it would be fixed on Tuesday! I’m starting to wonder if they are actually aware of what the issue is! I’m questioning if they’ve actually visited or not, I was told I’d get a text from Openreach engineer when they were coming but haven’t heard anything at all. What is an N23 engineer? 

[Karl-TalkTalk]

waiting Hi

Just checked with Openreach, an engineer has looked at the circuit and was unable to fix this.  They advise that a different skilled engineer is required.  This has been assigned to the Jeopardy Team within Openreach who have now assigned this to an N23 engineer.

We can check for further updates tomorrow to see where Openreach are up to.

Hi

I think we are also getting sidetracked from the original fault - I've ran a test on the internet side of things, and can see that a fault has been raised to Openreach already.

There is no separate app for Community.  Just access via the browser.  If you are accessing via Safari, have you tried another browser, Opera or Chrome etc.  To see if this will allow you to access the personal info section of your profile, or are you able to select this link :  'Community Profile'

[Karl-TalkTalk]

[Z&R13]
