very strange, It looks like an automated letter has been issued, there is no upgrade order on your account.

Hi. I was also sent a email a few weeks ago now. And this was followed by a text message from Openreach. There was a option to cancel, and you can cancel.

Arne.    Thanks so much.   When I got the email to renew in January 2022 the email said up grade to fibre 35(first time for me on fibre was on basic 11 speed copper before that) said it came with new router mine was almost 4 years old then it never came.  Did come onto your site and Debbie picked up the message but she said your hg633 is ok for that that package so never got one at all.    So I can be in when it arrives.  Who will deliver it and what day do you think I should plan for.  Thanks patrick

Hi @paja32

 

I would have thought a new router would have been sent to you when you renewed last year. 

 

I will request a new one is sent to you.

Arne     HG633 had since 21.2.2018.  5 years 7 months.   Do I qualify for a modern replacement.  Could you send me a new one?

Arne.   As previously said red light on at 0115. I requested the test at 0139 by telephone hoping Green might come back. at O230 noticed all 4 green again.

Hi paja32

 

I can confirm that the upgrade order has been stopped.  There is no cancellation order for the FTTC service.  Reason for the red light seems to be an automated line test was ran at 20/09/2023 01:39:48. 

 

Regards

@paja32,

 

Another customer in a similar situation actually got this sorted today using the same phone number. [Edit: actually they texted back and it seems to have been accepted as a cancellation].

 

The thread is here:

 

https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Full-Fibre/Cancel-Full-Fibre-Installation-Migration/td-p/2990426...

 

The only difference seems to be that theirs would have been installed by Openreach and yours is with City Fibre. Have you had any similar text messages?

 

I'll flag this up again for you - staff are on here daytime only.

Hi Arne.  Spoke to order management team about 0915 he said he would stop this going through he said I would be sent a confirmation email but it's never arrived also said he was placing a notation on my account re this but when I checked around noon time cannot find anything.   Not confident anything will happen if it restarts with further emails/SMS messages I will contact you for assistance. Thanks patrick

Staff don't process cancellations, @paja32.

 

You need to contact Talktalk directly yourself and then staff can follow up if you get into difficulties with them processing the request. 

 

Opening hours are listed on this page along with the link to Chat and the phone number:
