PCs & Mobiles Forum - Broadband provider? Any talktalk feedback? - Page 1
Competent
Hi
Sorry if I should be looking for a thread like this elsewhere, but I couldn't find one...
I am currently paying £10 or so a month for my BT line rental, and £18 for broadband. I see I can get both for £16 via talktalk, but I know they have had some bad feedback in the past. Anyone got any up to date experiences? Or tips for a better option?
thanks!

I have been with them for over 2 years now and I can honestly say I would recommend them.
I think I have had maybe 3 issues during that time and every time its been sorted in max 30 mins. I have recommended them to a few people and they are also happy.

Yeah, I'm with talktalk (similar length of time as Jackal) and apart from initial teething probs the broadband has been trouble free. To get 'free' broadband, however, you have to pay for international calling (or whatever it's called). But this does give you free national and international calls 24/7.

Just one thing... you want to make sure they definitely have the talktalk gubbins installed in your local exchange (local loop unbundling, or summink) otherwise they'll set up your broadband using BT's gear and then charge you an extra £17 a month. They did this to my bro in law's mum when she signed up. They swore it would be free with no probs but when the first bill came there was the extra charge. I guess the sales people will make all sorts of promises without checking just to sign up a new customer.
