NSO,

Actually I called them because my cousin was having problems with his TT account and I had no intention of signing up. He thought he was going to be put onto a full LLU service when he renewed his contract, however he was not and remained on IP stream and subject to a £15 surcharge. This was possibly due to limited capacity, but when I was called back the lower LLU price was quoted and the possibility of a higher price was not mentioned nor limited capacity.

I read in another thread in this forum where it was suggested that one could give the phone number of the nearest fast food takeaway when checking for TT availability, which I thought was really funny!

Fastfood: "Vegetable fried rice or noodles with your order sir?"
TT: " What are you talktalking about!"

Abe01,

What does: "Please reserve tie-pair to avoid possible rejection," mean? Perhaps IP stream until LLU is available?

In reply to a post by TALKTALK_SUPPORT:

If you use the TT avaialbilty checker on the website it will confirm if LLU is avaialbe. However by using the Availabilty checker you agree that TT will call you to follow up on your enquiry (which may be the reason for the recent marketing calls you have received).

If you do not wish to receve marketing calls you can use the TalkTalk Members Forum site and we can request an opt out for you. Alternatively this can be done via My Account. If your alredy opted out we need to investigate this via the Members Forum as to why contact is still being received.

Surely it should be feasible for TT to have a tick box option so that people using the the TT Checker can avoid receiving follow up marketing phone calls. The option to avoid such marking calls given above seems very complicated and impracticable for the majority as the members forum is only open to TT subscribers!

"IPTVCapacity NotSet

The following flags provide the User a indication to gauge the probability of success in IPTV order fulfilment: Red (R)� There is no capacity at the specified exchange. If placed, the order will most probably be rejected. Amber (A) � There is limited capacity at the specified exchange. Order can be placed with distinct possibility that it will fail. Please reserve tie-pair to avoid possible rejection. Green (G) � There is ample capacity at the specified exchange. Order can be placed with confidence.

So does this mean LLU is available via Talk Talk but there is no capacity. ?

Bit of a noob when it comes to LLU.

I did try the Talk Talk site but sales calls were coming in twice a day ( including today ) before i checked that site out, anyways the Talk Talk site only says i can get an estimated 5.8mbp/s and doesn't mention LLU.

I'm still confused, i'm with Zen and now paying almost £26 a month for a very good and reliable service, i'd happily pay £6.50 a month for a reliable LLU service, i will not pay for their normal adsl service which i understand has speed caps during peak times and that would just annoy me.

Anyway i'm still confused.

Bulldog did that, which was fine until I forgot to tick the thing, then had phone calls every few days, so now Talk Talk are doing the same thing by phoning people and annoying them.

You can gohere on the talk talk siteand put your number and postcode in, that will give you some info and they don't phone you back

If you want to know for sure if it has been unbundled, put your phone number into our checker http://www.vivaciti.net/signup.php(no we don't log these so no one will call you!) and if it offers you the option of ADSL2+ LLU 100GB FUP then the exchange has been unbundled.

No, no, your exchange is enabled and has plenty of capacity. TalkTalk have their equipment in there and as it stands there are plenty of tie pairs spare.

If the exchange is set as amber (i.e. limited equipment left) then to avoid a rejection tie pairs can be reserved. TalkTalk can't do this though, before anyone asks!!

Abel01,

Sorry I still don't understand that: is it some sort of waiting list queue for LLU where folks are put on/remain on IP stream initially and pay the lower price quoted for full LLU?

vivaciti,

Did you know that pages on your web site are being blocked by Kaspersky IS 2012 on my pc due to HEUR: Trojan.Script.Iframe - probably a false positive?
