Migration from shell to fibre 500, Not getting speeds

[Martin0918]

I Migrated from shell a week ago, I was on 205Mb and was told my new  package with  talk talk was Fibre 500, but I have had no increase in speeds. My speeds are still maxing out at 205Mb.

Hi Martin,

I'm sorry but you would need to speak to the Shell Migration team again about this.

Michelle the last time was the end of July, it was a waste of time as I was passed around to 5 or 6 staff members  and got no answers from any of them. So after that experience I will not waste my time calling them again. I just want the  speeds I told I was getting or to terminate my contract so  that I can get better speeds from a different ISP.

Hi Martin,

Apologies, this would have to be looked at by our Shell Migration Team. When did you last speak to the team?

Thanks

Michelle

This all seems to have to be "owned" as an issue by the Shell Migration team, @luk3du, not the forum staff.

There is a Complaints link at the foot of any Talktalk page. Setting that process in motion might help a bit.

Hi Karl, I’ve done this a few times now and get a different answer every time I call

[Martin0918]

I was told there was an issue and would be sorted sometime this month. I am going to give them until the end of the month  and if it is still not sorted out I am going to  speak to a solicitor to find out if it  is a breach of contract.

Thanks  

Karl.

I have the exact same issue as yourself. Been told numerous things over the phone such as the name of the package has changed but the speed hasn’t, it’ll happen in the next couple of months, and someone who said they’d fix it and call me the next day, but this never happened. 

Anyone got an update on this at all? 🙂

thanks!

Hi @Martin0918 

I've been advised that there is an issue as the packages that Shell had, where not used by TalkTalk so a little work is needed in the background before you can be upgraded to 500 speeds.  I've been advised this will be delivered in September.

You are not being charged any differently of course and the free speed upgrade will be implemented in September automatically.

Thanks  

Karl.

Hi @Martin0918 

You will have to wait for TalkTalk now on Monday, as advised by @Gliwmaeden2. There is nothing more we can do.

[Gliwmaeden2]

Other than trying another 30 minute switch off, perhaps Sunday, @Martin0918, wait for staff to get back after the weekend. 

Talktalk obviously know about it as Karl referred to an "issue/delay".

Don't try the switch off too many times as that can start getting treated as a fault and speeds may reduce further. It shouldn't be tried more than once in a day.

Staff will be back on here from Monday. 

[Martin0918]

Keith,

Yeah I turned it off for 30 minutes before I tried the direct connection

[KeithFrench]

Hi @Martin0918 

Have you tried turning the ONT off for at least 30 mins?

[Martin0918]

Keith I got  203Mb.

[KeithFrench]

Thanks, but what were the speeds that you got?

[Martin0918]

Keith I have tried the wired connection directly to the ont after seeing it suggested on another post, it made no difference to the speeds.

[KeithFrench]

Hmm, sorry but I have never seen that router (being only a TT customer I do not have access to every router). If you log into it, does it allow a speed test? If not, please can you temporarily disconnect it from the ONT & try a wired (Ethernet) device and do a speed test from there. What results do you get?

[Martin0918]

Keith it is the shell  wifi 6 hub.

Karl, what is the delay, shell used talktalk network so how is there an issue increasing speeds?

[Karl-TalkTalk]

Hi

I've been advised there is an issue / delay with this and our Teams are actively looking at this'

Thanks  

Karl.
