They mean who is your "retail line provider", not who is the "wholesale line provider".

Who do you pay the line rental to? They are the ones to contact.

Don't they still use 151 for reporting line faults?
Other numbers exist for free or mobile calls.

Or use this link:
http://www.bt.com/faults
or this one
http://www.bt.com/help/home/landline.html

These are the top few entries to a google query

Important note:

If the voice line is otherwise operating fine, i.e. no undue noise etc then any fault that is impacting the broadband side needs to be reported by whoever is the broadband fault.

Just because a fault indicates issue is with the copper, does not mean it should be reported as a voice fault. Why? Because if voice is within voice spec, then a call out charge may be applied and engineer will not look at any broadband issues.

If you are not getting the service which you think is required I suggest you PM Neil Armstrong of Timico, who often posts in the NewNet forum; in my experience he is very helpful.

Maybe the NewNet forum should be renamed "Timicio - formerly NewNet" ?

Hi Neil

The incident number is 0707092, the broadband connection went down on saturday night, in short there is no adsl sync, the asdl light isnt even flashing on either router i have tried, also tested at the test socket with the same results.

Cheers

Lewis

Thanks for the details Lewis. A fault was raised to TalkTalk Business for this yesterday. They did have a major incident in your area following some planned engineering work that went wrong. But we now think that was a red herring and didn't affect your line. The remote line testing we've done has given some contradictory results so we think an engineer visit it required because clearly the line isn't working properly.

Bit of a late reply, the no sync issue was resolved after a few days, then less than 24 hours later there was a separate line fault that took out the voice line and left the broadband reconnecting every hour or so at 1500 odd Kbs, had too wait a few days for an engineer, he went down a bt man hole across the street and everything has been fine since.
