Anyone use TalkTalk for their phone and broadband?

[Old Git]

Not a tech. bod, but had talktalk for about 4 years.
No probs, have 2 laptops runing wireless on it & hard wired desktop on it, all together.

Could be slow, could be fast, but for our web surfing, e-mail etc.etc. is fine.

Guess it depends what you want, download movies, music or what....could be slower maybe if this is what you want.

Recently changed from BT to TalkTalk, and I'm really happy tbh.
Less than £18 a month for my phone and wireless broadband [was paying £54 for BT for same package, so quite a saving!]

Oh customer service, they don't speak english, they are rude and unhelpful. Oh the broadband slows down to speed of almost nothing in the evening.

So yeah go sign up, see what happens.

+ 1 trillion squillion, hence now with Virgin.

I had to get a new line which was £60 but far cheaper than any other service provider could offer.

Just out of interest....how did you find the set up service and how long did it take for everything to be up and running from day you signed up?

thanks

Think it took about two weeks for ours to get set up. Initially cost an extra £30 set up charge. Didn't even have to contact BT, TalkTalk did all the work for us.
Even got a cheque back for £27 from BT! All good!

I was hoping for the same. In the process BT disconnected my line and even though it was their fault they would not reconnect me, hence I had to pay £60 to Talk Talk for a 'new line' as they will switch over at a lesser cost if the line is active with your current service provider. Due to BT's incompetency I was left without a telephony and broadband services for over a month!!!

However, now I am with Talk Talk and the saving is still much greater with paying £60 for a 'new line' than staying with BT.

I agree Foxy! I'm never going with BT again! Humph!

It's annoying really, you'll go with another company like TalkTalk to get away with BT line's, but at the end of the day Openreach - BT are still the guys that install/maintain your phone line. So either way it seem's your with BT :P unless with virgin etc ofc.

I think that's why it takes so long sometimes for a simple phone line install as it has to go through talk talk who then pass it onto openreach etc etc...
