    The customer service are disgusting
    They overcharged you regularly and can never give you clear reasons why.
    Their payment plans are ridiculous.
    They constantly go into your bank without your permission.
    If they have access.
    Never give them your card details
    As they will abuse them .
    The phone and text harassing is like a having a stalker .
    Do not use this company .
    You will regret it .
    I think it’s someone who’s won’t the lottery as their business practice is gangster.
    The stupidity is real .
    They are rude and aggressive on the phone .
    And they also mess with your service for fun .

    The Hub they provide is a horribly antiquated zyxel model from the early 2000s, it is physically not capable of speeds over 20 megabits. That's not an opinion, the technology within it cannot exceed 20 megabits, that is exceptionally slow for this decade, or last decade to be honest, pathetic service, do not buy.

    AVOID ITALK! this company is a scam, they will take money from your account without you knowing refuse to refund. they refused to look into any service issue and charge £150 for a engineer to come out. the service did not meet the standed or contract agreed speeds are below 1mpbs WORST BB PROVIDER IN UK. after reporting to ofcom and the fraud team. the customer service is a joke treat you like a child and dont listen but continue to take money regardless of no service.

    If I could review this with NO stars then I would! AVOID this broadband at all costs. Since setting up it’s been nothing but problems with the connection dropping completely, they always take random amounts of money from my account even though the internet NEVER WORKS!!! I also asked to cancel the broadband and pay the cancellation fee and was told I’m not able to do so until the contract is up!! I refused to pay a late fee because I have NEVER paid the bill late and not this has resorted to the bill going up and up each week, with a total of £180. I have agreed to set a payment plan up months ago to clean what I owed which was originally around £50. They refused and demanded FULL payment!! This is the worst company I have ever come across In my life. And by reading the reviews everybody has the same review!! Shocking total rip off company need reporting

    As soon as the hub was installed we started having issues with the speed, and the hub reset itself repeatedly. An engineer found a fault which italk then charged me for even though they only charge when no fault is found. They took £20 but put £150 credit on my account after I got passed to multiple departments and finally made a formal complaint and threatened to sue them. They also reduced my bill by £5 per month. This was to see Me through to the end of my contract in Dec. 2022 as stated by italk themselves. However, as my term was coming to an end they decided to increase my bill without notification and consent, and increase the monthly amount and then tried to take more money from me saying we owed for phone calls which they refused to give an itemised bill for even though it was requested. Whereas if the agreed fixed contract remained and the credit with the £5.00 discount was considered they would in fact owe me money. They are happy to talk over the phone but they won't put anything in writing (good job I record my telephone calls). The speeds they promised never came to fruition, overall in my experience the company comes across as a money making scam and it seems customer service are happy to bully for payment but not serve you or answer any questions. Regardless of what their reviews maybe on trust pilot I don't and won't trust them again and my personal experience has been awful.

    I live on a pension and can’t afford any more than I pay. I really am not paying for broadband it drops out continuously. Customer service ring me and say all ok but I could increase my payments by £10 and get a better service. Stuck in this contract and paying for a totally rubbish service.

    Absolutely cowboys! They spoke to my 85yr old mother who suffers with dementia, over the phone and signed her up for a 2 yr contract, when I contacted them to complain and cancel contract they said she would have to pay £185 exit fee!!!
    I was on the phone for nearly an hour with 3 different people, all unhelpful talking round in circles , how can this contract be lawful when they were talking to a person who had no idea what they were signing up for?!!! Do not touch this company with a barge pole

    I took out broadband with italk which turned out to be a huge mistake, speeds were not existent, customer service absolutely horrendous, steal money from your account so I left them, now 3 years later and they still keep setting up direct debits on my account for different amounts ranging from £2.00 to £1⁰0 which just get cancelled straight away.
    Really do avoid this company if you know what s good for you, I would rather go with no Internet than use this rip off company.

    What a dreadful bunch these are. I cancelled my direct debit as I didnt have enough to meet the payment that month and they have constantly bombarded me with texts and emails sometimes up to 8 a day. So fsar this morning in 10 minutes I have had 4. I asked them to change the payment date they told me no they cant do that. I ve left them but when they knew I was leaving someone rang me to tell me I coudlnt do that there was still 14 days left on the contract and funnily enough offered to change my payment date. I told them no way was I staying and he got threatening then saying that I would owe them a cancellation fee of £200 my answer to that was good luck getting it. Also my broadband increased from 19.99 to £30 - a ridiculous price and it doesnt even work upstairs in my house did they care - NO

    Terrible terrible people never eveer use them anyone

    I was called while at work with the NHS by a very pushy salesman who would not shut up even though I kept saying it was not convenient as I was working and could not have a conversation In the end I just put the phone down which I don't like doing but had to as he would not stop talking, would have been better if he was polite enough to ask if it was convenient to talk or when would be a good time? Having read all the other comments on here I wont even pick it up if I get another call Thank you to all you people for your comments as they have been very useful

    This is the worst broadband provider I had to pay a
    An early exit fee to leave them , service went live and never had any broadband what so ever for 3 months , rang them countless times if you miss their call back from fault dept they remove it from their system so they don’t have to pay compensation even though the fault existed for 3 months , when that have done this you have to go right back to plugging in to test socket on your phone which I had to do several times I even left work early and had a call back booked with a manager so I lost half a days pay and they never phoned me as was booked earlier in the day , I waited for a few days and then I rang them back and started process all over again , I wasted hours on the phone trying to get it resolved and countless times it was never resolved, they even wonted to charge me £65 pound if I never returned the router , which is still in my cupboard been waiting over two months for them to send pre paid envelope so I can return it , my guess is the router will end up in bin as they even talked to get it posted back to them ,
    They are also not registered with ofcom , but with someone else,I eventually got £37 compensation their first offer was £4 and a few pence , again took several hours of phone calls to get that they admitted they could see I had not a single moment of broad band from them in 3 months but still wonted paying £70 pound for the months which they never provided me with any broadband, in the finish I got their early exit fee dropped from £180 down to £65 so in the finish I ended up having to pay them £115 to exit early from contract when they never provided the service they was supposed to , I told them it was like stealing money getting paid for providing no service what so ever for 3 months , the only thing they gave me was a lot of wasted time and stress . So pls do yourself a massive favour and look elsewhere for broadband may be stay with one of the big names but defo not Italk

    Worst provider in the UK. Lost connection more than I ever had it. Cancelled the contract and the Direct Debit, as I was getting no service at all. Then they committed FRAUD. I have never given this company my Debit Card details at all. Yet they have obtained them from somewhere and taken a subscription for £19.99 from my Debit Card. I have informed the Bank and am taking whatever action is needed. These people a have never seen my Debit Card but they have used the details to fraudulently obtain money, and we don't know how much more they will attempt to take. Will give you more details after hearing from my bank and the Police.

    Quite honestly, I am truly baffled as to why this company is still in business. We have had nothing but trouble since the day we signed up to them. Far too many issues to list. I am absolutely disgusted with them and judging by the amount of negative reviews it is obvious I am not alone in my opinion. Now to put oil on the flames, we are stuck with them, I would love more than anything to be able to walk away from this tin pot, unprifessional, lying, dishonourable charlatans and sign up to another service. They must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing they are receiving an extortionate amount of hard earned money each month from people who placed their trust in them.

    If italk could be measured on their skill for gaslighting, italk would score top marks. Unfortunately italk fails on professionalism, account management, integrity, good customer service and complaint resolution in a timely manner. The important requirements of a service provider.

    Stick to the big players in broadband as this shabby outfit isn’t worth all the stress to have a sub par broadband connection and deal with drones on the phone who sound bored out of their tiny minds. For your health and wellbeing, steer well clear!

    If I could give this company a fraud star I would.
    Absolute disgrace of a company. Not legitimate not trustworthy.
    Been with italk since November. 9.95 a month for WiFi. They cut my internet service off 4 weeks ago and when I called they said I was up to date with payments and the problem was internat and I had to remove the back off my internet router and call them back. No legitimate company requires customers to mess with their electronic routers. So that was red flag number one. They then told me in order to see the problem they would have to send a service man to my property for £100 charge. I refused. I have paid my bulls up to date and had 4 weeks of service. Then to be cut off and told they want to charge me to find out why my internet isn't working. They have since tried to take £209 EACH DAY unauthorized.

    Complete cowboys.

    DO NOT TRUST THIS BACKSTREET COWBOY COMPANY

    Paid for service and speeds that I wasn't getting, I complained to customer services who didn't care, so I cancelled my policy and now they are still to this date trying to take money from my account by setting up new direct debits without permission and I have even had to cancel my card as they try take payments as a card payment.
    Reported to trading standards and the fraud team through my bank.
    Steer well clear of this awful company.

    The telephone sales people are con men and will say absolutely anything for you to buy their broadband… they lied to me and claimed my download speed would be compatible and even faster than Netflix. They persuade and convince - all for them to have their pockets lined with (commission) at the end of the day for selling an awful product. For someone, like myself, who has no clue about figures and numbers - they took absolute pride in blagging my head with fake figures and implying they could provide excellence and efficiency for great value. It was a rarity when I could connect to the internet and then when I was able to I was given a Privacy warning from apple about the unsecured line of internet, long story short multiple of my online account details got leaked. On top of all this, they still continue to attempt to take money out of my account near enough EVERY DAY… ranging from £29.80, £32.15, £8.11, £81.98, £64.29, £47.03 and the list continues. I refuse to give this company a single penny since they cannot keep up with their guarantee of providing me with internet - money grabbing, scummy individuals who attempt (and succeed) at pulling the wool over your eyes (especially if you’re not tech savvy). I would NOT recommend to anyone. It is not worth the cheap price as you do not even get internet guaranteed. An utter joke. I will be reporting to watchdog.

    Worst company I've ever used. Kept sending e-mails asking for assistance as broadband wasn't working. NO REPLY. Absolutely no help whatsoever. Again, worst broadband provider

    *Scam COMPANY***
    If I could give minus 10stars I would!!

    I cancelled my direct debit numerous of times with these absolute con artists but these complete sharks keep setting it up without my consent which I'm pretty sure is ILLEGAL! Literally Stealing money from my account. Do not sign up to this scam company worst mistake I've done was coming across these crooks!! I've also looked up reviews an looks like I'm not the only innocent person this company is Stealing from as there is so many people like myself going through the same thing with this company!! Not to mention the harassment is an absolute joke. They phone me about 5/6times a day chasing money they are NOT owed even tho they are just resetting up my direct debit an take random amounts of money out of my account without my consent anyway!! I've payed my cancellation fees an was told numerous times my details would b removed from there system an they can not take an will not take anymore money from my account, this is not the case they are absolutel Liars an they can reset up direct debit without consent an take money whenever suits them!!! Hope nobody else has to go through this as I'm tortured with these sharks Stealing from my account for months now!!
