I've been with talktalk for many years and have now given up. I do not have the time or energy to switch providers but enough is enough. The customer service is awful to say the least, the staff are so rude and are unable to speak English properly !
They are not good value for money and over charge on many things. I started by paying £15 a month and now pay £35, wouldn't mind if the internet was fast but it is appallingly slow !
Cannot wait till May when my contract finishes, I will be moving to a different and better provider.
Good riddance to a bad company ! TalkTalk is the worst company ever !

Talk Talk to force us to upgrade to a more expensive product have CAPPED our connection to 1 Mbps. Their tech confirmed it and speed test are no higher than 0.88 Mbps. I called them they said they could see it was capped but would call me back when they had when they had foxed it.IT IS A SCAM !!
AVOID TALK TALK BROADBAND IF YOU WANT TO AVOID BEING RIPPED OFF IT HARDLY WORKS AND SUPPORT IS TERRIBLE.

Absolutely terrible. They continued to charge us after our first request to have the service cancelled, then refused to even acknowledge the request.
We've now tried cancelling again, but we have to pay for an extra month we won't even use. They say they'll refund the last month, but refuse to give us any written confirmation of this.
Avoid them like the cancer they are.

The worst company I have ever dealt with the money they say you save you will have too lose by having days off from work because of problems with your service. If you try and make a complaint they always ask you too ring back at a later date. the services are intermittent so if you really want to watch something I would recommend you go with sky or virgin media. The worst customer services I have ever seen too there is no one who can understand a problem over the phone. AWFUL!!!!!!

Have been stuck with this company for 30 months now and cant wait to be free of them! I kept going over my 1st £5 contract and was getting charged ridiculous amounts but instead of letting me upgrade I hade to take a another 24 mnth contract out.phone calls to them are very time consuming, staff are nearly never helpful and impossible to understand. and be warned if you don't ring up on the exact day your contract ends they will continue to charge you every month NEVER AGAIN will I use this company.

I'm Italian and I live here for a few months. Everything that is in this country I love. Sign a contract with TALK TALK was the worst thing I could do. I have a problem for many days, and when I called the call center I have proposed to send an engineer to my house and pay £ 65. SUCKS!

No internet since Tuesday. Spoke to online advisor on Wednesday to report. Was meant to hear back today. Nothing. So got in contact again. Previous person hadn't logged properly so we're back to square one. Had to threaten to leave and kick a fuss for them to escalate this. Does not seem to be any human beings that you can actually talk to. Their chat service keeps kicking you out so you have to keep going back to square one constantly. Is therefore taking too long to solve simple problems. I want a human being that I can actually talk to over the phone. Think very carefully before using Talk talk as clearly effective customer service is not their forte.

I have never dealt with a worse company in my life. Internet speed was very slow, service terrible and on demand TV never worked. I then cancelled back in November and am still arguing with them over charges on my account, with conflicting emails sent by TalkTalk on a regular basis. First telling me everything is settled, then telling me I have to pay again. Stay well clear!!

Normally I don't write reviews but my recent experience with taltalk made Me write this one. I had been been Virgin for the past 14 years and they charged me a fortune! Signed up with talk talk despite all the negativity on the Internet and warnings from friends and colleagues to stay away from them. Came home from work one day and rang talk talk to cancel my order, the lady at customer services very professionally convinced me to try the talk talk services. Now I am pleased that I listened to her!! The engineer turned up 10 mins before the appointment time, I was live on broadband service within 1 hour. My phone line went live one day later and my you view box arrived which connected very easily using power line adapters and it's working fine! I was told my BB speed would be up to 38MB and I am getting about 35/36 mb which more than I need!
So far so good well done talk talk!!! And the customer service I got was amazing!! Thank you all at Talk Talk

DO NOT EVER GET TALK TALK. Broadband speed is unreliable, cannot contact the customer support and when you do magically do get through to them, you are faced with a million instructions revolving around you turning your router off and on. So far they have never managed to determine the issue behind the failing internet speed and intermittent connection. However they are more than happy to charge us the full amount and not fix anything. Not a happy customer at all.

Why oh why did I change! I moved from BT on 13th Jan 2015 as I was unhappy with BT customer service, which is not great but I had no idea how bad it could actually get. I cannot begin to describe the problems I have had, the amount of time I have spent on the phone. Being passed from person to person, they just read from scripts and only tell you the same stuff you can find youself on the website. They have no technical knowledge. If I have to repeat myself one more time I will explode. Please, please, please avoid this company like the plague, ignore me at your peril....

Promised a shopping voucher upon joining. It never arrived. Their response - they posted it and so it's my bad luck. Numerous issues with the service. Really glad to finally be leaving.

I used to get 7meg down almost all the time, now get app 3.5. Service frequently drops out and needs rebooting, hardly ever able to watch smart tv catchup could not listen to internet radio in early hours got 0.53meg. Customer service useless they just follow the script do a few test treat us like idiots and resolve nothing.
All forums complain about all providers yet nothing seems to improve, it is just taken for granted. Would we drive a car that ran on two wheels every few hours NO would we fly in an airliner if two engines stopped every take off NO. It realy is time someone or group took the people to task.
Makes my dilemma worse want fibre do I upgrade Talktalk or change AHHH

Insisted that they could provide us with broadband despite BT failing to do so on one line. Then when we left for a cheaper deal they clearly passed our relatively new phone number to everyone and now we are inundated with spam calls, many from talk talk themselves or so they say. Don't touch with a barge pole

Since joining talk talk I have had nothing but problems. I was told internet speed was to slow so I paid to upgrade to fibre optic. Its made no difference on internet service except I now pay more.
Ive also been charged for engineer visit when engineer did not show up. Im now looking into ending my contact early as service is very very poor. Would never recommend talk talk

I will never never use Talk Talk again once current contract is up. Customer service (what a joke that name is!) seems to be designed in the hope the customer will give up. They managed to swap our number with someone else's when allegedly upgrading us to fibre broadband. This took numerous phone calls to sort and now they have not applied the £20 compensation promised and we are still not connected to fibre broadband.

I am a TalkTalk everything seemed to work fine using ADSL, I then upgraded to Fibre, I didn't notice much difference in speed as I live close to the exchange, but when I run speed tests, the system kept asking if I was using cable or WiFi, I thought nothing of this, but now we have starting trying the TalkTalk TV, unfortunately I am unable use this service as I receive an eror (IPC6017) pointing to broadband speed. It is the now 6 Feb, I reported this fault on 29 Oct, I seen two, so called TalkTalk 'engineers' both looked blank and left stated they would push my fault up, however each time the fault just gets closed stating the fault is repaired. Also as said I seen two engineers but reported the problem over 10 times, on average my case will be closed after 4 days without anyone connecting me. I have done a bit of investigation and found that people with TalkTalk can experience this problem because the Fibre order has not been finialised with BT.
I feel that I shall be leaving TalkTalk as I am entering month four and still my fault has not been repaired.

I switched from BT to TalkTalk Business Fibre on Jan 29, 2015. Today is 4 Feb and my phones don't work. When sold to me I am told that the transfer will be automatic. However since last week I cannot use the business phone number and customers are not getting through to me. Having paid thousands of pounds through the years for advertising this is simply not acceptable. TalkTalk are blaming Bt Openreach but Openreach refuse to talk to the public. TalkTalk tell me they hpe to have a solution by Feb 17, 2015.... I shall see them in court if that is the case

I recently had quite a complicated fault on my line which caused me to have a intermittent connection.
It took just under a month to get the issue fixed and I don't know for certain yet that the problem is fixed as the Open reach Engineer said that he's 90% certain he's fixed the problem so only time will tell.
Overall this month I have spent a lot of time speaking to various customer service advisers at Talk Talk but, I have to say the way that they've handled my issue and my complaints have been excellent.
Their own broadband engineer they sent out to test their own equipment was brilliant and spot on with his tests and diagnostics and the engineer from Open Reach that came out today was outstanding in his dedication to find the fault on my line. He worked on it all day in freezing temperatures and he didn't give up until he was satisfied he'd fixed it.
Eric in level two tech was very helpful along with Elaine and Nasima in Network Management have all been fantastic.
There was a point where I was starting to lose confidence that my issue would ever get fixed but fingers crossed I think my line fault is fixed!
My experience with Talk Talk has been very positive and I can whole heartedly recommend them.
Keep up the good work Talk Talk!

I'm with Sky, an elderly friend is with Talk Talk & has been for years. She decided to join Sky after financial circumstances changed and got a cheaper and better deal. However, once she went to cancel Talk Talk, they slapped her with over £100 bill due to cancelling her contract early. Unknown to her she had signed for a 2 year TV contract 18 months ago!! Also late last year, her outside telephone line snapped at the pole in the street. BT Openreach did the repair. Talk Talk then billed her £50 for work which they said was done inside the house ! There was NO work done inside the house ! On her behalf & with her permission I contacted Talk Talk, complained about both incidents and they waived both of the charges ! (After an hour and a half on the 'phone !!) Talk Talk may be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for ! For balance - Talk Talk did apologise for the billings and said that they should not have been made. They apologised to her.

Terrible service. Never give them your number otherwise they will call you everyday. I've been getting calls for weeks and they are so rude when you tell them you aren't interested in their services and try to convince you until you get so annoyed you just hang up. Such mean and rude people. Really stupid cuz I'm not happy with my broadband from another company and would have considered switching if they weren't so intense and mean.

i was quite happy till my router software failed and they wanted to CHARGE ME for a new one, even though in a feww weeks i was upgrading to fibre?
there customer services are way below par from when they first came on the scene.
shame on you talk talk lovalty counts for nothing.
i went and used and old router, in doing so i found a massive security flaw in their routers.
now i am going to slate them and release this exploit for all to see
u can use anyones phone number to logon to there account through the router.
anyones.
ive now tried it with my own obviously my dads who lives miles away and my wifes mums.
got different ip addresses for all
so insecure its laughable.
and if u use dumpper and jumpstart you can crack the pin number within 10 seconds.
yes im leaving them in 2 weeks roll on fibre optic.
shame on talktalk.
off to publish and shame

I've been with TalkTalk a number of years - ever since it took over from my previous broadband supplier - and have recently sold my house. I wanted to cancel my TalkTalk account because I have no need for it now I'm not the property owner. The service was basically OK - slow, and now uncompetitive on price since a sudden 66% increase - but otherwise OK.
I called their phoneline and requested the account cancellation but was told that wasn't possible and that I had to cancel my BT line and that doing that would then mean my broadband would cease due to not having the requisite landline. That didn't seem right to me - why I cannot simply give notice to have my TalkTalk account closed so I know when the final payment would be due and that it's closed properly. It shouldn't be the case that I have to cancel my BT phoneline and then wait and hope that TalkTalk cancels my account with them and any further direct debits.
I asked what happens in the situation where people simply no-longer want the TalkTalk services and aren't moving house. She replied in that situation I would also have to ask BT to close my phoneline and then wait and reopen it at a later date. I was told there's no facility for cancelling my account and that I'd also have to wait for a new broadband provider to take over from TalkTalk before my account could close. I don't know when or even if the subsequent inhabitants of the house will want broadband connected, so I don't see why closing my account should have anything to do with that. During that conversation, the person I spoke with became aggressive in tone so ultimately I put the phone down rather than listen to her rant at me. I've never spoken to a customer service like that before.
I called back a short while later, after cancelling the BT line (which was a very straight forward experience in comparison), and was told this time there was a "technical problem" that prevented the closure of accounts and that they'd like to call me back in an hour. I asked if I could speak to someone else, but instead she went herself to supposedly speak with a customer service manager. When she picked the phone up again 5 minutes or so later it was another excuse about how there's now a "stick" on my line. It doesn't instill you with much confidence in a company when you get a string of different excuses like that.
I asked when my next payment was due, she said she didn't know. I asked about cancelling my direct debit and she said that would incur a charge. I had to go ahead and cancel the direct debit because I was concerned and left with no other route forward. I think the customer service is appalling, the misinformation and attempts to avoid or redirect a basic request to close my account mean I no longer trust TalkTalk.
