TalkTalk Outage in Robertsbridge, East Sussex, England

If you are currently with TalkTalk and are considering upgrading or thinking of moving to TalkTalk my experience would say don't do it. Their products are good, Their prices are excellent, Their customer service is appalling, lots of nice soothing frilly words but do sod all

Today I chatted with @TalkTalk and got lots of apologies and cheerful noises and then told I would have to wait another 5-10 days for someone to look into this, no mention of a fix timeframe.

@dancludlow @TalkTalk I am thinking of cancelling the order but it will still leave me with no service and I believe the problem is partly caused by openreach so not sure about BT either

@AngelcityIain Im a TalkTalk customer but Openreach came to put fibre to my house, they disconnected my copper line then found a blockage in the pipe they were going to feed the fibre down. They say they can't restore my copper line and the fibre won't be in until the 15th march, I'm pissed

Got this text today as I was being told that Openreach had disconnected my broadband line. TalkTalk are lying to me "Hello, We've sent an engineer to fix a problem with your line and we're now monitoring it. Your connection might take a few days to adjust. Your TalkTalk team"

@dancludlow @margatesunsets BT are offering a similar package to the 1 I had chosen from TalkTalk except they are £12 per month more expensive, I might decide it is worth it if the service is going to be better

@dancludlow Just updated my mobile phone to unlimited data so that I can set it up as a hot spot for jenny and my daughters can use it instead of the home network, I will be attempting to claim this cost back from talktalk on top of the normal monthly payment plus the hassle

@dancludlow @margatesunsets I'm looking at bt now, they are more expensive but there customer service must be better than TalkTalk

@dancludlow @TalkTalk I have requested that they fulfill the original complaint in the original 3 to 5 day timescale which would end tomorrow what they want to do is add another 5 days, I'm not impressed

@dancludlow I then asked for TalkTalks complaint procedure, they @TalkTalk pointed me to the chat option, when I tried to use it, I got the message "chat busy call tomorrow", their complaints procedure is appalling.

@dancludlow I got an email on Monday saying the TalkTalk engineer had fixed the problem which was total rubbish, today I complained again and was told they would raise another case which means I have to wait another 5 days

@dancludlow It will be interesting to see what comes first, the fix for the existing broadband line or the new fibre cable, then I have to have a discussion with TalkTalk about some compensation for both time wasted and cost of mobile data used

@dancludlow Just had a discussion with talktalk technical people in Manchester and finally got a promise that the line would be back by next Wednesday at the latest, 2 data managers have been put on the case to find the problem, then we start talking compensation

@dancludlow @TalkTalk After 21 hours of no internet @TalkTalk have at least now agreed to use only 1 excuse, "there is a fault at the exchange and they are working on it". When asked for an estimate on a fix, not a chance, hours, days, no one will say, just wait for the fix

@TalkTalk I have just been told by your service team that my broadband has been disconnected on purpose because they think I have fibre installed, this has not happened, what is going on

@TalkTalk help would be appreciated, my broadband and telephone line have stopped working, spent hours on phone and webchat, keep getting told to wait and then get disconnected or transferred and the transfer not picked up.

@dancludlow Morning Dan, We are still without Internet access so I will be chasing @talktalk this morning, it has been down 17 hours nows and over 1.5 hours on the phone and web chat, not amused. If it turns out I have been disconnected 😡 Hope your day is going better Double espresso please

My @TalkTalk telephone & broadband service stopped at 4pm today, after 2 web chats and 2 service calls with TalkTalk I was informed they may have been disconnected because I'm upgrading to talktalks full fibre and they got the dates wrong 1/2

@cpeedell @SandraDunn1955 What skeletons are in her cupboard? Friend of Cameron; 4million customer data leaks at Talktalk; Her Cheltenham kickstarted the outbreak 🦠. Common thread is she’s a useless Tory!

@TalkTalk hopeless home move service. Appears that you have switched it back to old address despite it working at new address for the last 10 days! Advertised 24/7 chat support not available.

@amycerys @Philippah05 @TalkTalk Same happened to me, they said it was an exceptional case, said small print says they won't reimburse loss of earnings. I was without internet for 11 days. 7 hours wasted trying to get hold of someone to complain properly. Only offered £60 for my troubles. Terrible company

@TalkTalk Hi Jona - the internet went off Saturday and Sunday. There is an engineer coming today - Tuesday. I was on the phone with customer services for over an hour on Friday - so distressing! You have no idea how upsetting the whole business is!

@Philippah05 @TalkTalk I did home move yesterday lunch time. Used talk talk for couple of years now no problem and I’m still not connected. I work from home and have 3 homeschooling children at the moment, considering leaving as it’s ridiculous other networks would of connected us by now 🤬

@TalkTalk Need a new Internet provider as no Internet again from you two days after you said it was fixed and this is now a monthly problem worst service and now your stealing my money as I'm not getting the service I'm paying for

talktalk down for anyone else?

@TalkTalk I called customer services but not sure if it got resolved as the problem was and is with the fibre tp link modem given by open reach..the power adapters failed. Lucky I had a similar output adapter which belongs to my soundboard so I've resolv the issue but need a new modem

Come on @TalkTalk , the engineer did his business hours ago. It’s now the next day. Don’t let me down.

@TalkTalk Still haven't been able to get hold of anyone to sort out my Internet!! The link sent doesn't work. How do I make a complaint& discuss the option of ending my contract due to this consistent failure to provide a good enough service? It's impossible to actually speak to someone 😡

@TalkTalk please fix your wifi i'm just trying to watch a stream an my ******* talktalk wifi keeps cutting out thanks luv xx 🥺🙏
