No landline for over a week now. I ran the online TalkTalk test, no fault according to TT.
Have just run another test ( 7 days later ), the same message, no fault. 😡
We have internet but, no phone. Unplugged all bits and bobs and plugged the phone straight into the test socket behind the phone socket front cover, still dead with just a slight crackle. When I ring the landline i get a permanently busy message.
We’ve had this happen a few times over the years, most recent one, we actually bought a new phone but, it was the line at the exchange. Every time the same fault and the same result, the line at the exchange. Last time I explained this to them but, an engineer came out anyway, switched the router on and off, plugged the phone line into the test socket and the concluded it was a fault on the line. An engineer flicked a switch on my router and for that, they charged me £50 because, it was my equipment, I got that back after complaining…it cost me a new phone though when i didn’t need one. 😡
How can a test not find a fault??? 🤔
I’m hoping they check the exchange this time…
