Talk Talk - Any good?

[Keef]

Just a bloke come to my door, trying to get me to sign up to Talk Talk, apparently offering me internet, line rental, and free calls for about ?17.50 a month, which is currently what I pay just for my internet connection.

Sounds great, but anyone got any experience with them?

d'uh .... first of all I thought this was going to be a thread about the 80s innovators led by Mark Hollis ... who went from sounding like a second rate Duran Duran ... to well , something excellent and innovative.

I had a similar package at my old place. Dont expect lightning fast internet as they have a stratospheric contention ratio, but other than that it does the job. Also pray nothing goes wrong as I remember their customer service being pretty woeful.

I'd never use them again. I wrote on a different thread a while back my reasons why. Also check you don't incurr any fees from whoever your cancelling. I've just got virgin broadband, phone (plus evening and weekend free calls) and a basic tv package for ?29 per month with a free installation deal. Broadband is fibre optic so is reliable and fast. That said we had the most shocking customer service which i won't go into full details because it's boring to everyone else and just makes me furious but the services work well (now that they have eventually been installed and a bonus that this time round the installation man didn't turn up over 12 hours late verbally abuse us and not install everything because he couldn't be bothered).

Saw Keef saw Talk Talk and thought it was a discussion about the Mark Hollis fronted group.

Colour me disappointed.
