I Don't recommend this broadband. Quite disappointedthat that at the beginning we've got promised a fast broadband and turns out that it is far too slow.+ 12 month contract. The internet does interrupt often with covid online lessons, especially wonderful (not)!! Thankfully hands down, it does not go off totally (that's why I give them 3 stars for the reliability). Also, contacted them few times about it. Customer service always good give them 5 stars for it. Sorry for this review but it's only fair for people to know.

Perfect to be honest, never had an issue with our connection, we had multiple devices online at once and never had an issue, even down to cancelling everything was fair and simple

*Scam COMPANY***
If I could give minus 10stars I would!!
I cancelled my direct debit numerous of times with these absolute con artists but these complete sharks keep setting it up without my consent which I'm pretty sure is ILLEGAL! Literally Stealing money from my account. Do not sign up to this scam company worst mistake I've done was coming across these crooks!! I've also looked up reviews an looks like I'm not the only innocent person this company is Stealing from as there is so many people like myself going through the same thing with this company!! Not to mention the harassment is an absolute joke. They phone me about 5/6times a day chasing money they are NOT owed even tho they are just resetting up my direct debit an take random amounts of money out of my account without my consent anyway!! I've payed my cancellation fees an was told numerous times my details would b removed from there system an they can not take an will not take anymore money from my account, this is not the case they are absolutel Liars an they can reset up direct debit without consent an take money whenever suits them!!! Hope nobody else has to go through this as I'm tortured with these sharks Stealing from my account for months now!!

They do not deserve any stars. Had cancelled with them months ago and payments just kept coming out of my bank I cancelled my direct debit but they opened up another one every time I cancelled them and kept on taking payments without my authorization. The lies from customer service are just herendous ther is no help from anyone. The company are just greedy money hungry ******** who just want to line their pockets I would advise anyone to stay away from them

Please read this and don't make my mistake of joining them. If you have a fault you will be stuck, stressed and spending all your spare time phoning them up.
All phone companies use Openreach lines, and VM use their own lines, so whoever you go with will all use the same lines which produce same speeds. Go for a company who are very good at fixing faults because that is where this company is lacking.
-Had no WIFI for 15 days out of the 20 days I have been using their service.
-Had a seriously up and down connection during the 5 days it did 'work'
-Engineer did all he could over 1 wk ago, wifi still broken and said that it's on them to resolve the remaining issue
-They are closed weekends. Despite my connection going down Friday even when closed, was told they could only refund me for no WIFI from the day I reported the fault.
-They refuse to give me refund until the fault is fixed, so in meantime are taking full payments while I have to spend £25 on EE data to tether from
-despite having depression and severe physical health issues, paired with the fact I've been offline for over 2wks of the 20 days I've been online, they won't terminate me from the contract.
For those who want more details:
I've only been online with them for 20 days. After going live, the broadband has been so awful I've had absolutely no WIFI connection for 15 full days; even after an engineer was called out to have a look.
So, since going live on December 29th, the broadband has constantly disconnected, requiring me to lose pages/re-login for my work. This has had a negative impact on my work. On January the 31st the WLAN and DSL lights on router went blank. In other words, could not pick up on internet at all. As the offices were shut, I rang them on the 4th and explained the issue. I also asked if I could get a refund for the days it hasn't been working. The guy said I could only have a refund from the day I reported the fault. I explained they were shut, and I asked if they have a record of when I was online because obviously, it will show when my internet went down. Apparently they 'can't' see this, which is a joke. The engineer who came over on Jan 11th (yup, I had no connection for those 11/12 days), showed me a device with a graph detailing the drop outs/dates they happened. He explained that my provider can definitely see this too. So basically, they're either dishonest or completely ignorant. The engineer somewhat got it working again for about 2 days, but like before, internet consistently disconnected. He told me he did everything he could, but that it was up to the provider to sort out the issue on their end.
After finding the time I called them up on the 13th, to explain the fault was still there. However, the guy over the phone told me to switch router off for 30 min so he could do a test. I did, when I turned it back on the router had the same issue of no WLAN or DSL light. I phoned up to explain that it's suddenly unable to to pick up connection at all, even with plug directly into the line without the cover on (which is meant to be the best connection you can get). I was asked to do a speed test because the line supposedly had 'no faults'. I explained that I could not access the internet to carry out a test. Anyway, they just said they'd pass it to the fault team. I phoned up over the next couple of days to explain that I seriously need WIFI, I was advised to do a speed test again (absolute joke). So I've now been offline for an additional 5 full days. That's 16 days spent offline.
I asked to leave the contract without any fees since my mental health is seriously suffering. I have also spent £75 on EE add-ons to tether from my phone. I also asked for a refund for what I've paid the first time I had faults, but they told me to wait until the fault stopped happening so they could calculate. In the meantime they happily took the full bill out of my account.
Fortunately for them, the fault is still persistent, so they are continuing to receive my full payments, despite the fact I am having to pay for EE data to substitute the lack of WIFI.
In addition, when I joined the lady on phone was dishonest about how many weeks (3) it will take to install, knowing that I needed to be up and running by at least around 2 weeks. I could have gone with another provider if she actually told me about them taking 3 weeks after hearing my concerns.
Just an outright disgusting company.

Avoid at all costs, I have received repeated threats to take me to court, I refuse to pay for a service that was rubbish( putting it very politely) I repeatedly tried to cancel before the end of the cooling off time, and every time they fobbed me off until I was tied into a contract, I didn’t break the contract they did when not one person in my house could receive internet connection, vile customer service and no offer of resolve, they tried to get me to pay for another package, please do not use this company, they take hours to answer calls until you cancel and then all of a sudden they constantly answer you

If it seems to be good tobe true then it likely is too be good to be true.
I thought i bagged a good deal with fast fibre broadband, but oh no,this is THE most incompetent broadband company.
Customer service staff are miserable and it really does come across they are working from home because some of them answer the phone like you've interrupted them.
Processing is a joke. Today i received a letter for £65 bill for early termination of contract. This transpired whilst in my cooling off period and their diabolical service, i was shopped around for another quote. I told iTalk they then offered me a good deal and rectified the issues.
I believed what i was told and subsequently cancelled the other service a month ago. iTalk then said they are UNABLE to cancel it their end so instead of dealing with the technical issue they have sent me a bill.
Logic? None
I phoned customer service twice today. Nobody can tell me the timescale for a call back.
As soon as my contract ends i shall NOT be renewing it with iTALK. I may well have to pay more to another provider but iTALK are driving me insane!!!

My debit increased from £30 to £40 for no reason. I sent company 5 emails asking why it increased and every email was ignored. Cancelled the debit and they then added a further £10 to my bill. Still haven’t replied to me. Do yourself a favour and AVOID this company.

Do not go with them. You will regret it. They tell you different things, The internet is super slow and when you cancel it and provide proof they tell you nonsense on the phone but don't actually do it. We have complained several times every time they tell you different things and after months not being with them they still charge you and on the phone says that is not even your last bill. We only been with them for 2 weeks and didn't receive the fast internet we paid for. You will be blocked from our credit card.

What a dreadful bunch these are. I cancelled my direct debit as I didnt have enough to meet the payment that month and they have constantly bombarded me with texts and emails sometimes up to 8 a day. So fsar this morning in 10 minutes I have had 4. I asked them to change the payment date they told me no they cant do that. I ve left them but when they knew I was leaving someone rang me to tell me I coudlnt do that there was still 14 days left on the contract and funnily enough offered to change my payment date. I told them no way was I staying and he got threatening then saying that I would owe them a cancellation fee of £200 my answer to that was good luck getting it. Also my broadband increased from 19.99 to £30 - a ridiculous price and it doesnt even work upstairs in my house did they care - NO
Terrible terrible people never eveer use them anyone

italk is without a doubt the worst broadband company I have ever used, I was with them for 3 years and now i'm back to my previous provider, so I know.
Avoid them at all costs! The internet was always slow but up until Covid19 in 2020 I was rarely home so didn't mind - but I always made sure to report the faults, which were always meet with silly excuses such are poor weather (i'm talking rain in London). October- November 2020 was the worst, working from home was extremely difficult with their lines dropping every few minutes, sometimes for hours. December I didn't have any internet at all! I had to pay for a mobile hotspot upgrade and lost many days of work because of it. When I spoke to them about this they said they would refund for lost internet, my phone data, but they lied. The engineer they finally sent out for an inspection (first and only in 3 years of complaints) said there was nothing for him to fix and that the modem was faulty. Note, he had never heard of italk, lol. I called back and said I was done with not having any internet and would be cancelling as it didn't make sense to pay that month, let alone another month for no internet. They wanted to charge me for a new modem to be sent out and said they wouldn't be able to resolve the issue or pay me any compensation if I moved on. I must have been on the phone for a good hour asking to cancel, with the guy just asking me to pay for the new modem, he hung up on me and I cancelled the direct debit. Finally managed to cancel on the phone today (April 2021!), and not a penny compensation wise. Ridiculous.

Do not use iTalk. My elderly parents recently moved to a different provider and have been daily harassed by members of the customer service team from iTalk, receiving several calls a day on their landline and mobile phones as they apparently owe 75p, even suggesting they would send in bailiffs. Although iTalk say on their website that their senior management team will deal with any issues, the advisers would not allow my parents to speak to anyone senior. Just the worst and intimidating customer service approach I have ever heard of.

They don't stick to the dates agreed and they have a very bad customer service and they always keep changing the go live date agreed and even the last go-live date which was today (it passed 5pm and it is not there yet and I'm still waiting for the broadband).
I called today to raise a complaint and told to record it and they said I've to wait to midnight and I asked to speak to a manager and they she is busy.
Below are the details:
1) The package was agreed and paid for on 19 July
2) When the package was sold it was confirmed by the italk representative on phone that the go-live date will be 03-Aug (15 calendar days after the sale date) if not earlier and that was the basis of the agreement.
3) Following that an email was sent to say that the go live date will be 03-09 August (this was not accepted by me the customer).
4) A week later another email was sent by italk to say that go live is now 10 August (this was not accepted by myself).
5) I called the customer service team and after 10min discussion I asked to talk to a manager and I was advised that no managers are available. I asked to talk with the customer complaint team and the representative cut-off the call.
6) I called again after an hour and talked with another customer representative and after an hour of discussion and him trying to chaeck and discuss the issue with his team internally, he told me that the go-live date that was sent to me is 17 Aug although the email below shows clearly that it is 03-09 August and this was not agreed at the point of sale which shows that italk is giving four go live dates 03 Aug, 03-09 Aug, 10 Aug & 17 Aug and it’s a complete mess.
7) I also asked for a customer complaint number and he said that they don’t operate this system and cannot give me a number.
8) The customer service advisor said that he’ll have further discussion to check why there is discrepancy and call me on the same day yesterday but this did not happen

Don’t waste any time with them because sure as hell they will waste yours...
All that’s going to happen is they will give you a dsl, but that’s all you’ll get. Aside from the bills and and the multiple problems that come with signing up with them.
You will get the dsl because once they get that going they count it as being connected or live and from that day on if not the months leading up to it will be a living hell.
P.s they put you live to enter you into a contract but you won’t get internet. Just a load of bills and a 150 quid call out fee only planned by them. And a disconnection fee for a connection you’ve never had.
I dare you go with Italk. It would be the worst mistake your life!!!
