    If you wish to have your internet service constantly cut off and have to speak to rude and unhelpful call centre staff (when and if you actually ever get through to them) then talk talk is the provider for you. Not even worth a one star rating.

    This isn't a very good network, can't play Roblox on my iPad, so I recommend switching to Virgin Media, and it disconnects and it's slow

    Terrible. The contract ended and they renewed it at a higher price all without telling us. I’m furious.

    The most useless customer service I have ever experienced, they hang up on you without resolving anything or pass you from one person to another and you have to start all over again. Disgusted, at lest I can see from the reviews here I am far from alone.

    I would never recommend.
    I would never recommend.

    Given an activation date for a house move that could logistically never happen (wasn't told this at time) in order to get me to stay with them, given a new better price for the package (still being billed for the old price 2x as much!), informed by them that I have an unstable connection leading to a download speed of 10mbps (AWFUL!) but then they won't arrange for an engineer to come and solve it unless it is at my cost. Won't upgrade my router despite apparently being a faster fibre customer. Can't get help, can't even get a connection most of the time. Call centre isn't based in England so noone actually understands your problem. Raised a complaint to the CEOs office and was told I'd get a response - never did. This company DO NOT care about customers. Give your money to someone else. ANYONE else would be better.

    The 3rd of sept I got home and the wifi and computer stopped working. So I called Talk Talk to try to solve the problem but they couldn't. I got an engineer appointment for the 23 so I need to be home otherwise I will be charged £20 surprise !!no one appears. I Called them and the person I spoke to could hardly speak English and when I said I want to cancel I got an English person who want me to book another engineer appointment for 3 weeks time I was so angry.
    He told me that if an engineer didn't come before the 4 oct I can cancel my contract. Talk talk did not call me back regarding the repair. That was almost a month without having the Internet which is unacceptable.So I called on the 4th to cancel my contract with them, which I was advised by Talk Talk that I was entitled to do. To my surprise I need to pay for breaking my contract with no compensation for the month I had been with no internet or tv. thanks talk talk for the good 8 years of your service but when a problem occures talktalk is the worse. They are unhelpful , unsympathetic and unreliable. In this day and age that level of service from a company is unacceptable.

    Totally useless. They have the cheek to have a black Friday type sale while their email is down again for the 100th time. I cannot get in to my emails since last night.

    I switched to Talk Talk because the package they offered me sounded good, however once activated, I was then told by their support people in India no static IP address was available, (not what the sales person told me!) the broadband speed was also slow and then trying to get my broadband back was only accomplished with lots of help from BT, thanks BT....forget Talk Talk!

    Absolute disgraceful service from Talk Talk. Getting less than 10mb (sometimes less than 1mb) on a 76 Fibre Line. Passed from one useless advisor to the next. and promised 2 callbacks, neither one being followed through on. Finally managed to get an engineer callout after threatening to cancel, and even then the closest one is 2 weeks away. Clueless staff who just read off a script and can barely understand my issue.

    I honestly don't know where to begin with my review, other then saying Talktalk are beyond the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. They let a man who was imprisoned for stalking me change my router name to I was a slapper, then without my permission continued my contract when it ended and over charged me, when I was previously paying £45 for the standard package, they put it up to £79 a month. They also have called me by the name of Tina on more then one occasion, leave me on hold for hours then cut me off, and I cannot seem to get through to the correct department to cancel this terrible part time working service I pay over the odds for. My review is DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

    One star is too much for you, you are absolutely unbelievable and it's beyond me how you lie in your advertisement, your not a fixed price at all and the broadband is simply rubbish. Your team and advisors are bad mannered and don't help what so ever. Talktalk is the worst descision I ever made.

    Reporting a problem to a Manila call centre is a joke. They are unprofessional and do not know what they are talking about. Afire the called complaining about extremely slow fibre broadband, could not connect to Netflix either. Speed tests where carried out and it was agreed that I was not even getting half the speed promised. I was told that the router will be adjusted from Manila and that I should switch off for half hour and then turn back on. Asked if problem persists, she said to call back to arrange for an engineer. Called back as it was still not working, guess what, had to go through the same thing again and no engineer booked as I gave to carry out three ping tests over a period of three days......To be continued

    Absolutely disgusting.
    I ordered the internet with talktalk since the end of april, and i've never had the internet.
    countless phone calls, huge phone bills because the housephone doesnt work also.
    theyve booked technichians to come who havent bothered to show up but yet they tell me if im not here for them they'll charge me £60 odd.
    ive been asking them via facebook to ring me for the past week and half, they have said they cant ring me. LOL.
    ive paid my bill even when i havent had the internet i think their disgusting. i'm fuming.

    If it isnt sorted soon i'm cancelling my direct debit.

    An appalling service who choose to prioritise their money flow over their customers. Over the course of the past two months I have been charged a gargantuan £40 each month compared to the usual £8 and when I enquired about this via their telephone service they simply dodge the question and go as long as possible to retain their undeserved money and don't even look at the problem from the customer's perspective. Considering that I have been a customer for years I am absolutely appalled by how they treated me and their attempt to combat the problem by saying they'll give me a small tiny fraction back only highlights this ridiculous company, their shambolic customer service and their total ignorance of customer loyalty. I will be parting service from the buffoons and transfer to another service provider because to be quite frankly honest I have no idea how I have lasted this long with garbage company.

    Talk Talk?! More like No Talk. Their customer service is the worst thing in the entire technological world. I was promised a call back from an advisor within a few minutes because her computer was being slow. I waited 30 mins for a call back. Rand the helpline again; the second advisor dropped the call! The third advisor then treated my entire query like it was brand new and started asking me the same questions, to perform the same tests I had done ten times over! I then got so frustrated that I demanded to speak to the manager. Who turned out to be worse than the advisors! Her tone of voice/attitude/lack of professionalism/lack of empathy left a lot to be desired. She treated our case like she was the one doing us a favour! She then resorted to booking an engineers appointment. At which point I said “if this doesn’t fix the issue then I would like to cancel my contract” - to which she replied “so shall I cancel your engineers appointment then?”

    TALK TALK customer service is SHOCKING.
    Their WIFI is slow.
    Their response time is slow.
    Their communication skills are non existent.
    They steal from you.
    They talk to you like they’re the ones who are the aggrieved.
    WASTE OF MONEY.
    NEVER GO WITH TALK TALK

    Finally got through to customer serviceis where I logged a complaint. And all I got was a “I’m really sorry this happened we will do our best to make sure it doesn’t happen again”.

    8 months of internet problems, 6 engineers requested 4 actually came out and still not fixed, 8 months of phones calls empty promises, not sending equipment, the latest 2 engineers not turning up, still charging full price for a crap service, not even being offered reduced rate until fixed. Owed 8 months of compensation going elsewhere for a reliable service!!!

    Worse experience I ever had in broadband and phone service. When we complain about the service, for couple weeks the service could improve but after that there is no comments for that...when we talk about costumer services...they are worse than you can imagine, in my opinion they do not have enough trained staff to take care about their services...and when you want to leave, they have always something behind to get new charges...no really recommended for anyone...spent over 5 years with them but if I would broke a leg on that moment when I made the contract with them at this time the leg was already good.

    Absolutely shocking Wi-Fi speeds, drops out every few days for hours on end, customer helpline is useless when they actually decide to pick up
    You would genuinely get better internet sticking an Ethernet cable into a pile of manure

    Cheap fees tempted me into getting TalkTalk internet but they never will again. We were charged early termination of contract fees despite the fact that we need not terminate our contract early. It took 5 letters (replied to by 5 different Customer Services Managers) and 2 15 minute phone calls before I gave up on getting my money back. They repeatedly said 'this isn't the kind of service we want you to have with TalkTalk' without actually doing anything to resolve my problems. In fact, they kept responding in ways that showed they had no understanding of the problem at all.
    Unless you love writing complaint letters for the fun of it, I would strongly suggest avoiding this company.

    DO NOT CHOOSE TALK TALK.
    Absolutely abysmal service and treatment of vulnerable people.

    For 2 weeks my 80 year old grandmother who lives alone 4 hours away has been without any telephone service. Her friend lent her a mobile phoneto contact Talk Talk customer service and the waiting time alone ate her £10 credit. I have been on the phone to talk talk overseas call centres 4 times over the past week, which have a poor line and staff speak very basic english. Each time I am promised something will be done tomorrow and it has not been done.

    I am still waiting for my 80 year old grandmothers telephone line to be fixed.

    Please do not chose this provider especially if you are setting it up for someone vulnerable or you yourself are a vulnerable individual as they have a complete disregard and lack of care.

    I'm quite glad that Talktalk have imposed price rises as it has allowed me to end contract without penalty. The actually offered me a £20 per month deal, Inc phone sim. I was tempted, but my broadband service is patchy and their customer service is terrible. Top tip. If you do an online chat with their advisors, you can email yourself the full transcript, which should save a lot of arguments later on!!

    Do not go with this company. Above all else, the customer service is atrocious.
    I phoned to find out when my contract was due to end and was told 17th March, but after that date it would continue on a month by month basis and I may be charged if I move house!!
    What a cheek, when I have only signed up for a 12 month contract.

    I was then transferred to another 'team' - sounded like a group of people chatting to each other loudly in a shack somewhere.
    The advisor couldn't understand a single thing I said and just kept going silent - she didn't seem to have even a basic grasp of English.

    This is not a company who have any morals whatsoever when it comes to the treatment of staff or their customers, clearly.

    I would certainly not sign up with them again.

    TalkTalk promise good download speeds but i've never seen more than 8mbps often much less. After 1.5 hrs on the phone they said they'd send a new router but of course this doesn't increase the internet speed only the WiFi. Will probably change ISP.
