Awful performance.

I have recently signed up to talktalk fast fibre, on the offer of 38Mbps. My connection is so poor I am unable to watch any streamed content. Following guidance from TalkTalk tech support I have run several speed test over the last few days from the talktalk care portal. My download speed ranges from 1.9Mbps upto 21 Mbps. Most of the time the speed is around 8Mbps download, 8Mbps upload. I understand from speaking with tech support that TalkTalk are obliged to provide 32.2Mbps and have 30 days in which to prove they can meet this obligation. TalkTalk are adamant there is nothing wrong in the TalkTalk network however I dont see it that way.

Can anyone please offer any guidance on how to fix or a means of escalation? Based in Lancs UK, thanks...

Fast fibre speed boost not much of a boost

Evening.. applied the speed boost to my account and since it’s gone live it’s only increased my upload speed. I’m not getting the guaranteed minimum download speed of 53.6mb, I’m getting a maximum of 38-39mb checked on several different devices and speed checkers. My upload speed is a lot higher than the quoted minimum of 5mb, I’m getting an average of 18-19mb. 

 

I have the new talktalk super super router thing. What can I do to try and resolve my download speed issue? 

Sagemcom fast 5364 router - No Power

I received the new fast router at the end of May it worked fine until the 8th Jun when it was not receiving power no light, on carrying out checks I found that the AC/DC adapter was not working. I contacted TalkTalk via live chat and after chatting to several operators and various checks being carried out they eventually stated that I needed and engineer visit. I informed them that the problem was the adapter not the line, but to no avail they insisted an engineer attended which I reluctantly agreed too. Engineer from OpenReach arrived on the 10th Jun and found no faults on the line, which I already knew. I was then received a Text from TalkTalk stating the issue was resolved, which obviously it wasn't as the problem was the Power Adapter. On contacting Customer Services and explaining that I had a faulty Power Adapter and requested a replacement they informed me that I would have to pay for a replacement. This I totally disagreed with as the adapter was just a week old and was faulty. Under the Customer Terms of Reference I am entitled to a repair or replacement of faulty item. I have also emailed a complaint to Concerns TalkTalk PLC.  Having looked on this Community Forum I see that this problem is not a one off with a faulty adapter. Can anyone advise how to get a replacement as I am currently using my old router. MGS

New customer - activation date was yesterday and no internet

My activation date was yesterday, I had the openreach engineer come twice as after my activation/now online email from talktalk I was still not connected. I am a new fibre customer. The engineer said that everything was set up fine on his end that his internet connection at the cabinet was good. Can it be that talktalk you have not updated to point my authentication to your fibre broadband server?

Poor Wi-Fi range

My huawei hg633 router is giving a very poor Wi-Fi range. From my router to my laptop and printer is 9 metres in a straight line with only 1 wall between them. I can only get 1bar on my laptop and varying 1 to no bars on my printer. Anyone any suggestions, if I come closer the bars increase on the laptop and printer but that is not a feasible proposition for me. My property is detached and I receive many bars from neighbouring properties when looking at surrounding wifi signals but my own signals are a joke.

Hi, I'm trying to get some help with receiving these mysterious Talk Talk Vouchers. Signed up to Talk Talk via Uswitch in Feb, promised £50 voucher, waited the 90 days as per instructions, e-mailed AWIN 3 times and each time no response.

 

Can someone look into this for me please?

 

Noticed  has helped with this before.

 

Thanks

Go live- really?!

To say I am disgusted right now is me being calm.

 

Our go live date was to be yesterday (11/6/19). Needless to say, we haven't gone live. I used live chat to sort out the issues. Nothing worked. Your lovely live chat man then decided it would be appropriate to ask me to undo a whole master socket, and mess about with live wires I know nothing about!

 

So naturally, refused. Asked if an engineer could do this for me. Yes....for £40 on top of having no connectivity! Asked why a fee as not had any service as of yet, told pay it or have no service basically.

 

I have saved the live chat. We tried calling but that was a wait time disaster. Any help on here much appreciated, or our services are going somewhere else.

 

 

Renew contract. then my connection and speed starts having issues?

Hello

 

When I first had my initial contract with Talk Talk the internet was slow, kept dropping, and it took quite some time to get a stable connection with a great deal of frustration in the process.

 

So recently I had to renew the contract and I was hesitant due to the bad experience iv had, but my connection was at this point for the most part ok.  So I renew the contract and within a week on that new contract, it was like someone push the downgrade button.  Suddenly my connection kept dropping off, very frequently.  I simply haven't got time to keep chasing it up so I hoped it was a short glitch.  About a month later an Im getting the same issues.  I have security cameras and they are going offline along with the whole house of all connected devices, mentioning this as its not the devices its the connection.  My actual connection line speed has also dropped, all within a single week of a contract renewal.

 

My son is trying to do his gaming and keeps losing his connection, my daughter is trying to study and keeps losing her connection which again to emphasis the router is losing connection to the internet, not the devices to the router.  We are all having to use out mobile data due to this very bad service.

 

The old issue still remains, my router will not let me log into it to change or add settings, I get a blank page.  I was told by PC world that regardless if Im a new customer or a contract renew I should be sent a new router that is given to the current customers.  Iv had this router make for some time, and its not efficient or reliable.

 

I need to get this sorted as like my last contract I will not spend hours trying to communicate with people reading scripts over the phone and ignoring everything Im telling them, and I will not be told I have to except a possible BT engineer charge when I already know there is nothing wrong with the line.

 

Why has it come down to having to fight to have to get what Im paying for?

 

Please, just please sort this out, I just dont have the mental energy to go through this again.

Speed reduced to below Minimum Guaranteed speed

I had drop outs, then As requested by both Talk Talk I checked the setup of my Modem/Router no joy in a fix as the advisor (TalkTalk) stated the problem was outside so "Open Reach" arrived fitted a Pre-Filtered socket & checked line and told me the speed from the socket is 40Mbps yesterday afternoon.  Come today the speed instantly drops to 33.3Mbps which is well below my Minimum Guaranteed speed.  

 

Can someone help with this issue as I have done everything required my part it just seems to be going round in circles as to who is right and or whether my problem is fixed or not as above and today it is not.  

 

Also Can anyone confirm that "Open Reach" are due to be coming again to check, as I have not received any text message from either parties so-called dealing with this

Hub resetting itself at random

Hello, I received one of the new Hub's for fibre when I took up the offer to extend my contract another 2 years. I've only had it a couple of weeks and it has now 3 times completely reset itself and lost all my settings. 

The first time was the during the night of the first day I had it but I noticed it had received a new firmware update and put it down to that and went through all the settings again. Several days later I had no signal on my laptop and couldn't see it listed on the available wifi options. It turned out the hub had reset itself to the original SSID name and lost all my settings again. I was obviously annoyed about having to go though everything again as I'm very particular about how I like my settings, eg reserving addresses for certain things (I have different home automation and various other things I like ordered in a way that's sensible to me). 

Yesterday it did it again and now I'm absolutely livid and feel I can't trust this thing at all.

 

Is this something common on the new hub?

What causes it?

How do I stop it happening?

 

Thanks.

Issues with TalkTalk - Accessing some websites via VPN using Ubuntu 16.04

Dear Team,

 

I am having this issue with TalkTalk WiFi service.

 

When I connect my Mac Laptop to the TalkTalk network via my Office VPN it works perfectly well. I can access all the websites I want to.

 

My challenge for over a year is this; On my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop, whenever I connect to my office VPN using the TalkTalkNetwork, I cannot access some sites e.g. https://www.reddit.com, https://github.com what I get  is my browser saying This site can't provide a secure connection  ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR, for some other sites e.g. https://bit.ly the browser returns ERROR ACCESSING SITES, Request Denied, Your client address is unknown. On other networks aside TalkTalk, I can access all sites I want to via my office VPN on my Ubuntu 16.04 OS.  This has been a very big challenge for me and I have not been able to resolve it. Is there an issue with connecting through a VPN on the TalkTalk network with an Ubuntu 16.04 OS?

 

Please, I really need your assistance urgently. It will save me from a lot of stress I am currently facing.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

PS: I have attached screenshots of what the browser returns when I try to access those sites I mentioned earlier.

Recently added Fibre boost, but speed still the same

$

Hi 

 

A couple of days ago I renewed my contract but at the same time added the fibre boost to take me from the standard 40/10 package to the 80/20 one. 

 

I did the recommended reboot of the router (HG633) and logged in to see my new sync speeds were indeed 79,996 kbps on the downstream and 19,999kbps on the upload. 

 

However all speed tests I do still show my download as about 38mbps, but my upload has indeed increased to just over 18mbps

 

It's as if only half the boost has gone through. I've tried 2 different wired devices (laptop and desktop) both are the same.

 

I tried the live chat, who said my speed will vary over the next 14 days, but surely if the router is currently synced at 80Mbs, then I should be seeing that throughput on my wired devices?

 

It's as if I have a stuck line profile, or half of one anyway!

 

Hope this makes sense, and if I've missed something obvious then please let me know!

 

Thanks

Hello, Recently I've Noticed Problems with my Internet, TV was buffering time to time, My Parents also complained why Internet buffering so often, Although I didn't felt it on my Computer, Few Days ago TV Started Giving Network Error every one to two hours but again I wasn't feeling it on Computer, Then I decided to do Speed Test, Near TV it was showing 21 MB, Next to Router it was 43 MB, and Computer Showed 69 MB, I thought Maybe it's just weak signal to TV, but Today, TV is litterally unplayable, It's buffering every 1-2 Seconds, I did a Speed Test near TV it showed as 0.17 MB, I did Speed Test next to Router, It showed as 0.26 MB, and I did speed Test on Computer it showed as 0.34 MB, What is going on? My Promised Internet Speeds supposed to be 55 MB - 78 MB, I have Fibre Internet, Today I can't even Load anything on Computer Nor Watch anything on TV, I had to Write This message from a Phone Because nothing Loads, Internet is Completely unusable, I tried Restarting Modem, I tried doing Reset, I tried following steps on what to do that I found on TalkTalk Website, Nothing helped, it seems Problem is not on my End, Unless something is wrong with modem?

 

https://www.speedtest.net/result/8333876566 = This test is from Computer with ethernet cable connected.
