    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

    I tried to cancel my contract at the end of my 18 month contract.

    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.

    Its a big joke! Im not a customer anymore after days of calling and asking why i don't have internet. They don't know anything and after no internet connection for almost a month, they told me to wait for a call for about 3 days! What a joke.

    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.

    are you looking for a broadband that will make it so you have to wait days just too download anything or a broadband that works for 2 minutes then breaks again constantly making it so you cannot play videos or online games then this is the broadband for you just in general a giant load of crap that should have never been made in the first place.

    Bloody horrible internet speed. 500 kb/s.
    Would be bearable if they didn't disconnect every 2 seconds. I was disconnected for a week (due to some "technical issues") and they pretended like it did not happen. Never again.

    The worst one of all. Customer service is absent. The managers are having a laugh. I was overcharged by £80 for two months when they failed to cancel my contract. Response was "I can only apologise" and "Don't think you're paiying too much read at your bill breakdown not just the first page" this is two months after virgin took over. The manager was trying to say I pay good money for something I font use !!!! No comment

    Talk talk have been awful from day one internet drops out constantly, told them this and they offered me an upgrade if I paid, I thought i had already paid for an upgrade when I moved to fibre optic. Called then again today as oddly enough speed tracker doesn’t work, the call cut me off and sent me a message saying if they don’t respond instantly get on with your day... shocking! I called them again to be told I can have a paid for upgrade again, I’m sure the technical team are just sales people. Contract ends in June so looks like they have permission to take my money and give a rubbish service.

    Talk Talk is the worse company that I have ever been with, the internet connection is nearly inexistent and so bad that I have to switch my phone to 3G! I pay money for no reason at all and I couldn't cancel my contract unless I payed a huge sum which was very annoying. 'Lowest price broadband company' you get what you pay for as it is cheap!

    Literally every 5 - 10 minutes my internet has a problem. The wifi stops working and whilst I'm playing a game my ping spikes to 1000ms for about 10 minutes which is frustrating. Today, I can't even play a game because I'm always lagging 200 - 1000ms. X

    I have never been treated by any company so badly. I have been lied to, let down, hung up on, not listened to and various raised issues and complaints and none have been resolved or no one has got back to me when they have said. To top all of this off when I was explaining an issue over for the third time the person I was speaking to raised her voice at me which I had every right to since she was not listening to me but till that point I had gone for the bold voice to explain the issue but she shouted at me and I had not. They are a cheap broadband provider with many issues they need to sort out including customer care and would never ever recommend this company ever again not even to someone i truly dislike.
