Ghostrider Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Who provides your internet and what do you think of the service ? anyone with Talk Talk ? For my sins, yes I am....yet anyway. Negatives, you will have at least one drop out per day, usually either early/mid evening, or early hours of the morning. You can reconnect immediately virtually always, so not a major problem. Line speeds are generally (from what I hear anyway) on the slower side, compared to the likes of say PlusNet or BT.... Positives, the service is reasonably reliable, and has been doing better the last three months or so than previously. I came to them via Tiscali who they bought out, and certainly near the end of Tiscali's days and for about the first year-18 month of TalkTalk the service was poor, but has gotten back to something close to what Tiscali was when they did sense this last while. Overall, if you can get a better priced deal out of them than say PlusNet or BT, they're worth a punt, if they're on par or dearer, you'd get better VFM with one of the others.

DizzyKipper Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Plusnet, service is good, connection is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dratsy Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 had phone and broadband from talk talk and the grief trying to get away from them at the end of the contract was something else I would advise avoiding them like the plague.

Fifi Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Pipex in name - Talk Talk on the bill. I came via Pipex, which was taken over by Tiscali.. which was taken over by Talk Talk. I find it worse than the old 'proper' Pipex days but probably pretty average. Can be difficult to load YouTube videos in the evening. Probably would try Plusnet if looking for a new ISP. After the move to Talk Talk, they tried to double my monthly charge unless I opted for their bundle, which I didn't want. I told them I was considering going to Plusnet due to the price hike so they kept me at the same price as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 We use Shetland broadband, not really had any big problems and they are fairly quick to sort out the smaller issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabiaTerra Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I've been with TalkTalk for around 5 years now. I can't fault their service, and it's reasonable value. (in Lerwick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnangler Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Have heard lots of horror stories about Talk Talk, espically when the time comes to end the relationship, Used to be with Tiscali but Talk Talk took over, however at the time they were unable to provibe me with a service here so let me go. Three years later the letters start, saying i owe money for unpaid bills etc . Took nine months to sort out. I personally would avoid them. Currently with Plus Net, fine so far.

shinynose Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Used to be with Tiscali until they were taken over by TalkTalk. Switched to BT, and although not the cheapest the speed and reliability over the last year has been excellent and worth the extra for us.

tirvaluk Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Was with BT then Tiscali, now taken over by Talk Talk, never had any problems since leaving BT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Madasafish = BT really = Plusnet Absolute bollox all of 'em. 2 weeks to put me back onto broadband. I hate them with a passion. They may all have reassuring Yorkshire accents but it doesn't mean they have any intention of fixing anything any faster. TWO WHOLE WEEKS!

MJ Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 If you've got an orange contract phone it's well worth finding out he they'll do you a deal, our broadband is effectively free (part of a 24 month mobile contract at £26pm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearcut Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm with Plusnet, they are really good. Good broadband speeds, no dips, excellent FREE helpline on a freephone number. Modem they supplied was a bit basic so used my own Netgear router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
