Good morning,
Firstly if you are not tech savvy please dont help me, ive had 3 hours of Asian 'tech support' staff asking me questions like "is your computer switched on". Eventually i pointed out that even if I go out a buy a NEW laptop/phone/TV/PS4 etc. it will not turn the RED internet light Green on the router because its a Router/TalkTalk Issue not a WIFI one. Im not a muppet and work in IT, so have quickly ruled out all the obvious issues.
Now we have that out of the way...
I was previously a BT Fibre customer for 2 years without any issues. Yesterday I switched over to TalkTalk and the service does not work. Something has clearly gone wrong during the switch over, may not be TalkTalk's fault but something still is wrong.
I have a Huawei HG633 router.
I have tried:
-Different devices to connect (makes no difference).
-Resetting the Router (still red internet light).
-Checked the phone line for crackling (its fine).
-Changing the filter (no effect).
-Changing the phone cable (no effect).
-Changing the phone socket used (no effect).
Router is ON and wireless works but the Internet light is Red (for the most part). The broadband light goes green and then the internet, after 2 seconds the internet light goes red.
Logging on to the Router and reviewing the maintenance logs revelled this:

09:37:06 21/02/2017 System Notice WAN connection INTERNET_TR069_R_VID_101:IPv4 disconnected.(ERROR_NO_CARRIER)

This confirms the phone line is ok and my devices. It is either a faulty router (unlikely), or an error with the change over of broadband provider (most likely). As the internet worked perfectly before the carrier change over it is unlikely to be a local issue with my phoneline/cabelling.
Please can someone at TalkTalk:
-Check with the set-up team that my account was pulled over from BT and set-up correctly.
-Check with OpenReach that the phoneline's broadband carrier was pulled over correctly.
Thanks,
Simon
