    we ordered on 16 Mar is there anything we can do to get the connection fee refunded?

    Why is it only between Tues 25 March and Monday 31 March?

    Thanks.
    worto.

    Because those were the dates that it was heavily promoted by MSE with no mention of the connection fee, as Martin says Talktalk had told him it no longer applied. A 'misunderstanding'...

    You're doing better than me !

    I got a reply from 'Stephen Fell' saying they were investigating and they'd contact me about the connection fee by the 16th. I'd heard nothing more so mailed them again late yesterday, and got exactly the same - obviously automated - response!.

    On the plus side, we have been activated successfully, though I had to phone them as the disk appeared not to have worked. "Oh yes, everything's fine, that happens sometimes"...

    Hello !!!!!! here,

    I am working through all the requests we have received. Yes this is an automated response as had I personally acknowledged all emails received I would still be replying.

    I will sorry for the delay in getting back to you all but due to the volume of requests it is taking a little longer getting back to all the people who contacted me however I will contact you all personally by Friday this week at the very latest.

    Thanks

    However it has still appeared on my bill. Deeply frustrating and disappointing after all the correspondence which promised the charge would be waived. STEPHEN !!!

    Hello,

    I advised that a credit would be raised onto your account to clear the connection fee not to wave the fee, this is why it remains on the account. The credit will appear on your next bill

    Thanks
