Long story - no internet

[AngryMum]

Last year we got an email telling us that we would be upgraded to Faster Fibre at no extra cost. City Fibre had just finished cabling the street. The guys came on 21 October and told me that all that was now needed was for TalkTalk to sync the new router. Despite calls and other chats, this never happened. We gave up. We still had broadband over the old copper connection.

Last week, the connection appears to have failed or been cut overnight. Several chats later, an 'engineer' from Qubeuk attended on Monday. He couldn't solve the problem and told me that we would need Openreach to come out. He called them and gave them my number so that they could arrange an appointment. He literally ran out of the house.

Heard nothing and contacted TalkTalk again with the usual palaver. Eventually was told by the Complaints guy that I really needed City Fibre. Heard nothing from them today and the fault has now been closed. 

Sadly our contract still has 5 months to go or I would just leave.  

Any suggestions for getting our internet restored?

Hi,

The ONT box has four green lights.

I plugged the cable with the red connection directly into my laptop. Unable to connect after putting in the WiFi password. Message is 'no internet, secured'

Hello,

I'm really sorry to hear this. Can I just confirm, what lights are currently on the ONT box? Is there also no connection if you connect directly at the ONT box with no router connected?

Thanks

City Fibre and Openreach are completely different firms, @AngryMum. For your current service, Openreach is suitable, for the potential service, it sounds like Talktalk may have a deal with City Fibre In your area.

It may simply be that your current service has developed a fault, rather than something going on with the upgrade.
