I sent this letter to Talk Talk today 25th May 2017 20.05
 
Dear Talk Talk Customer support,
 
I am now really disappointed and upset by the poor service we are receiving over the last few weeks….    I understand that things do not always go right and problems may occur, however this is now beyond acceptable.
 
We pay good money for a service which we are not receiving….   This is totally un-acceptable…
 
I called last night and even though the customer support had to go through the troubleshooting to ascertain if there is something wrong with the connections / modem / etc…  I mentioned to the Customer service person that I had not changed any connections , and all the devices that I use are supplied by yourselves and all the cables are properly into the devices as these always been…. I explained to the Customer service person that the Internet speed is the issue as it is slow and keeps dropping.  This affects me and my family when we are doing some important work online as well as when we are watching TV etc…     Talk Talk promises a Great Service however the speeds that we should be getting are below un acceptable…

Ricardo -

 

Sorry mate, but these blogs have nothing specifically to do with TalkTalk Customer Support.

 

A bit messy but ..........  if you click on the "contact us" at the bottom of this page you will get a list of the different support catagories.

 

But if you click on the "contact us" at the bottom of that page you will see a link to the "Customer Complaint Code". That should give you a mechanism to raise your issues more directly with TalkTalk management.

@Ricardo Or if you want support on the forums start your own topic, click here if you have regular Broadband, or here if you have Fibre.

Hi  What is latest stable Firmware for HG635.  Present release on my router = 1.06

Is 1.10 stable.  If so can mine be updated.  Is it worth updating since my system is stable

Last question can i have my spare HG633 (supplied by TalkTalk under contract), be replaced with a 3782

 

Look foreward to replies or suggestions

Paul - this is the blog section of the forums, so is not monitored by the OCE for active customer support requests.

 

But FWIW - my HG635 is running 1.06 firmware, and is perfectly stable. I don't think 1.10 has been officially released yet, but I have no plans to upgrade.

 

You will need to post in the support section with regards to your 3782 replecement query.

So, where do I go for customer support. I don't find navigation here very intuitive.

I need help with a DSL 3782 router that I want to kill.

 

After almost a week of bad or nil broadband service, we received a replacement router from TalkTalk, ist a DSL 3782, replacing an HG533.

This new router is proving VERY difficult to set up.

We can't print wirelessly - we could before.

I can't get into the router setup because either/or/both the default username and default passwords are not recognised.

 

admin / admin doesn't work, neithe does admin and then the router password on the back of the new router (NOT the WiFi password).

 

I've been around this loop many times now - no success - the router PW has been entered in upper and lower case.

 

Anyone got any ideas. I get sick of talking to people half a world away where the solution always seems to be that its my fault.

@bjones6 Just start a topic in the appropriate Help section, depending on whether you have Broadband, or Fibre Broadband.
