    No quibbles about it, they need to run a new phone line. I'd insist on it if they can't resolve the issue otherwise.

    Thanks Swipe. Would that mean running a new line from the cabinet or exchange to my house? I'm quite clueless about these things and just want to be sure I ask for the right thing. They did replace part of the line going from the road to my house but it didn't fix anything.

    It's STILL off completely! Is there any time limit, legally speaking as to how long they're meant to take to fix this? I'm guessing I have no rights at all and I'm trying to be reasonable but I think a year is long enough. I'm also thinking that instead of going to the expense of running a new line, Openreach will simply refuse and TalkTalk will just cancel my phone and broadband.
