Home safe stopped working after engineer visit.

[Darren19701]

We had an engineer install full fibre broadband to our property on Friday. 

He put in a new terminal box and then connected it to our wifi hub using a cable supplied by Talk Talk.

Since then the home safe setting have not worked at all.

I contacted TT and they took me through all sorts of changes to our computers but nothing made a difference. It seems obvious that the change to fibre is the issues, but TT aren't being very helpful. I can expect a call from an engineer, but probably not until after Christmas.

This is too long to wait for me, so does anyone have any idea what might be happening? 

I thought it might be that the router is pointing at a new dns, but the dns is still 79.79.79.79

It's very perplexing and upsetting.

Thank you.

Hi Zan11,

Thanks

I have the same problems after full fibre installation.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Sorry about that, I've asked if someone can contact you about this but not received response yet, I'll let you know when I do

Chris

[Darren19701]

No call received yesterday. I'm in all day today so would appreciate the call. 

[Chris-TalkTalk]

I've asked for you to be called today if possible, I'll let you know when I receive an update (or you may be contacted directly by our network team)

Chris

[Chris-TalkTalk]

OK thanks, I'll try to arrange a callback for today

Chris

[Darren19701]

I'm available from now all day.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Are you available any time or is there a time window that you prefer?

Chris

[Darren19701]

Yes please.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

I'll try to arrange another callback, would you like them to call you on the mobile number in your Community Profile?

Chris

[Darren19701]

Old mobile number was on My Account details. Updated now. They must have used that one rather than on my forum info. Can I request another callback? 

[Darren19701]

We don't use the landline and I have no missed calls on my mobile. I'll check that my mobile number is correct.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Hi Darren19701,

I've checked the notes and it looks as though they tried to call you on your landline and mobile. Notes say they left voice mail on your landline and couldn't get through on your mobile, do you have any missed calls on your mobile?

Chris

[Darren19701]

Nope. Disappointed. 

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Hi Darren19701,

Have you heard anything since your last post?

Chris

[Darren19701]

No phone call as of yet. We don't use the landline so I hope they tried to call my alternate number.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

Hi Darren19701,

Thanks for the information. There's a call back booked with our technical team to contact you today between 2pm-4pm to discuss this issue, they'll hopefully be able to get o the bottom of the problem, apologies for any inconvenience

Chris

[Darren19701]

The engineer installed this:

He ran the yellow cable shown (supplied via post by Talk Talk) to our wifi hub router.

[Chris-TalkTalk]

OK, thanks for the clarification. So when you said that the engineer has fitted a new terminal box, did you mean a new Master Socket?

Chris

[Darren19701]

My apologies for not having any understanding of what your customer types are. My package is called fibre 35. That's all I know! The installation visit wasn't even something I asked for. All the houses in my area are being done by Freedom Fibre.
