woody321,
We do have an order in place to activate your father's service on 7/4/10. I have checked the details of this order and can't see any issues so it would seem that there is an issue with the Talk Talk service and we can only recommend raising a fault with them at this stage.

It's worth seriously considering whether he can use a mobile in any way, either with an audio loop or texting, it's a very useful backup. Then get him one.
We have supplied my very elderly (91 and 98) and infirm in-laws with 2 simple-to-use mobiles as emergency backups, they cost effectively almost nothing on a PAYG contract. On every visit we check they're working and charged and make a call to keep the contract "live" (I manage it financially online).
That said, if he's affected by the Paddingtom issue noted above many mobile networks are down too. I guess BT are working as hard as they can to reinstate emergency services then the rest.
The next level of fallback are the "emergency button" type monitoring services; we're looking at these at present for the in-laws as things get tougher for them.
Morning all,
Just wanted to advise that both the phone and broadband orders for this customer are still in progress for completion tomorrow. We will perform another check tomorrow before confirming with them to see if everything has gone to plan.
