    Changed to Talk Talk from Tesco. Firstly, they never sent the modem and CD package before the activation date.(still haven't got it) Lucky I have my own modem. Don't know what my E-mail address is because of this. The speed has never been so low. OK, so my village has always been a bit of a problem area for broadband but was enjoying 1mb speed for about a year. Talk Talk speed was only around 0.2mb. When I phoned customer "service", they told me there was a 14 day stabilization period where their engineers are still fiddling with settings and stuff, which they never stated when I signed up. Every other provider has given full speed immediately. Customer Service is less than absoloute crap! On hold for ages, speaking to a different nationality every time, got hung up on, trying to tell me their modem is better than mine, bad attitudes and apathy is all you will ever receive from this bunch of lying, timewasting, stress making idiots. Talk Talk? More like ALL TALK!!! Stay far far far away!

    I have been with Talk Talk for about a year now and although the customer service is good the speed can be slow at times, however I am about to upgrade to Pro soon so fingers crossed.

    I signed up to TalkTalk on 30 Dec 2009 and am still waiting to be connected (it's now 22 May).

    I have had nothing but problems from them and have to say that the best customer service I get is when I call the cancellations department.

    First they failed to inform the BT engineer checking my line was live to install a new socket (my original socket is attached to a front door where there are no sockets and a very hot storage heater).

    This then led to a delay as the engineer had to come back out to install it. Since then I've had numerous excuses about there being issues with the connection and nobody seems to know why.

    I'm so fed up of waiting now that if come Tuesday (25 May), the latest date they said it will all go live, I'm going to cancel and will happily go somewhere else even if it means paying more for a better service.

    I only gave a 2 star rating for customer service as i have never had much luck with them. I would encourage any one to use the forum as it is much better.

    Talk talk are an absolute joke. Signed up 6 wks ago. Still have no internet. Everytime i phone up i get someone who cant speak english. I get put through 20 times. Then to tell me il be waitin another 21 days. Theyve added 70 pound installation charge on my bill and 30 pound conection fee, they never told me about this when i signed up. They are a bunch of con artists and im taking legal action.

    I wish i had never changed from Orange, only went with Talk Talk as i have my phone and line rental with them and have had no issues with this. What a waste of time the Broadband is. I can never stay connected for more than a few minutes. If i try to download anything it seems to take forever and cannot use the broadband as wireless any more due to the amount of disconnects i am having. I am currently connected via the cable with defeats the purpose of having a laptop with WIRELESS broadband. I have contacted tech help numerous times to be told different things each time and still no resolution. I am currently looking for another more reliable supplier due to this. I would not recommend Talk Talk broadband to anyone.

    Tiscali were never very bright on customer service but TalkTalk are the worst I've experienced. They moved my Direct Debit date, then decided (of their own accord) not to take the next DD. They then rang me a few days after not collecting the DD to get me to upgrade my package, sent me an email to congratulate me on upgrading, then, moments later, disconnected my service for non-payment..! I've spent most of today being pushed in circles only to discover TalkTalk don't have a customer service department (that I could talk talk to) but I that could try writing to a PO Box number. Added to that my broadband is 5mb under advertised speed and since Tiscali was taken over by TalkTalk I find need to reboot my router every couple of hours. Well, I've enough. I'll pay the extra for a provider who cares. PS: I found out today that if I cancel my account (the one they cut me off on), I'll have to pay over £380) being 17 months contract value). I've suggested they get their legal team ready for a trip to my local county court. Unhappy? I can't describe how unhappy. Use PlusNet, BT, Virgin, Sky, anyone but this bunch.

    Rubbish in every way - I regret the day I joined Talk Talk.

    I am constantly having to go through the diagnose and repair function. I feel this is all I have done today. Really just fed up with the service provided.

    Constant disconnections and unstable speeds. Avoid.
