Sadly it cannot currently resurrect Vulcan science officers.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The new service, which recently won the <strong>Best Network Operation Initiative<\/strong> gong at the World Communications Awards, has so far tested around 2.1 million of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a>&#8217;s broadband and phone line connections. At present this includes 99% of new lines and it then continues to check the line after the service has gone live.

The system also claims to have reduced the length of time to repair faults on new connections from an average of 4-5 days to 1-2 days. Project Genesis is now being rolled out to cover the ISPs entire customer base of <strong>4.22 million subscribers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Gary Steen, TalkTalk&#8217;s CTO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Project Genesis means we can diagnose problems quickly and proactively, and deliver a faster resolution for any problems that occur. The aim is to create self-healing broadband, which fixes itself before the customer notices there is a problem.
