Line problem

Message 22 of 22

Hi,  every time i do a check on my line I get a message to say there is a fault. I check back for a couple of days and told its being worked on. Eventually the message goes, but never told what the fault is, so do another check and lo and behold there’s a problem. Very rarely use landline to make calls these days, but would like to know what is going on

Thanks

I'm sorry, no it's not solving the problem, we have fed it back which unfortunately is that we can do.

Many thanks for your response Chris. I guess that’s all I can do, but its not solving the problem, is it ?

Hi Towlers,

 

Both voice and broadband test are passing, sync speed looks fine and connection appears to be stable so can't see any reason why the service test is showing a fault. I would just ignore it if your service is running OK, it just seems to be a false positive

Hi Michelle, I’ve just run another line test and yes I can confirm I have a message to say you think there is a fault on the line

 

Thanks

Morning,

 

I'm sorry to hear this. We have previously fed this back. Can I just confirm, are you still seeing this message at the moment?

 

Thanks

Others have seen this, it seems that the online tests are flawed and can throw up false results, which is far from helpful. Hopefully the support team will feed back these examples.

Hi Michelle, no, not experiencing any problems that I’ve noticed, it’s just annoying that every time I run a line test I’m told there’s a problem and Talktalk are working on it, but nothing seems to get sorted

Good afternoon,

 

I'm not sure why the tests are reporting this as I've just run a few tests now which are both clear. The connection looks stable and the sync speed looks consistent. Are you experiencing any issues with your broadband or voice service at the moment?

 

Thanks

Hi Towlers

 

The throughput speed looks ok based on the sync speed so again I'm not sure why it was showing a fault on the tests completed, apologies for this.

Message 15 of 22

Hi Debbie, speed to router is 39mbps. Download speed is 31 mbps and upload 7mbps

Message 16 of 22

Hi Towlers

 

Apologies, I'm not sure why the fault was raised, it's possible the tests detected slow speeds (throughput speed)

 

What speeds are you receiving when running a speed test?

 

Once the fault ticket auto closes then the message on My Connection should no longer be present.

Morning,

 

Thanks for confirming. Are you still seeing the same message if you run the test again today in My Connection?

 

Thanks

Hi, many thanks for replies. Broadband appears to be ok, so I guess there is no problem, just wish I didn’t get the message to say I have a fault, when in fact, I dont

Hi Towlers

 

I'm sorry to hear this.

 

I've completed 2 different line tests and both are clear - No faults detected.

 

What speed are you receiving when running speed tests?
