TalkTalk email & internet not working after recent maintenance, issue acknowledged

Just in case you’re racking your brain wondering why the email and internet services on TalkTalk aren’t working for you, find solace in the fact that you aren’t the only one facing issues lately.

A quick look at Twitter reveals there are many others affected as well. As per reports, the telecommunications and mobile network service isn’t working at all for several hours now.

Complainants state that they are unable to avail internet services since morning and that the TalkTalk live chat support has been unhelpful. For a quick glance, here are some of the reports:

Are you planning on telling us what is going on? I only got Talk Talk yesterday and now I have no internet, not really good enough

@talktalk “some” I’m pretty sure the whole country is without internet. Is there a reason? Or an update? Or an estimate of time of when this is going to be resolved?

I’m receiving emails to webmail, but I can’t send emails and I get a message telling me that ‘Sender domain is invalid’. Haven’t been able to receive or send emails from Outlook since yesterday

As clear from the above, TalkTalk email is down. Mails are neither coming in nor going through, with all sent emails saying that the address is invalid.

The TalkTalk official website also conveys that the service is indeed suffering an outage at the moment in the internet and email department.

Thankfully, the telecommunications and mobile network service provider has already issued an official acknowledgment a couple of hours back on Twitter.

The company notes that they are aware some customers are experiencing issues when trying to access TalkTalk email and their engineers are looking into it on priority.

That said, we will continue to keep an eye on the matter and will update this page with relevant info as and when we come across any. So in case you’re encountering the problem discussed here, stay tuned for updates.
