Talk Talk broadband

[Billy]

Just a quick question,
Is anybody on Talk Talk broadband?
I'm thinking of joining as I pay AOL £24.99 for my broadband and then Talk Talk £15.00 a month for my phone Total = £39.99 a month
But if I join Talk Talk 3 I get the lot for £19.99 a month

I just wanted to know if anybody had any feedback about Talk Talk as it's an 18 month contract and I don't want to sign up if it's cr*p,
Thanks,
Billy

18 month contract = for mugs.

there are loads of horror stories about talktalk. they are incompetant.

 

[tommyboy]

don't do it! I've also heard bad things about customer service and connections dropping for no reason :S

 

[DrR]

Don't do it, but defo leave AOL

 

[Billy]

Any suggestions on a good ISP?

 

[Adam K]

no, because you want a 'pile them high, sell them cheap' ISP, and IMO all of those type are s**t.

you get what you pay for.

pipex are s**t, virgin aren't partiularly great either.

work out what you want.

a cheapo throttled service with shite customer service, or pay more money and get an unthrottled connection with an english call centre if you have problems.

 

[JoelDee]

I know i'm thinking about changing from pipex to be honest, never had any problems with them but there are cheaper ISP's out there which provide more or less the same service i'm receiving now!

Who are you with Adam?

i've heard good things about namesco, but 5gb is nothing. i do around 25gb a day when i've got newsleecher queuing stuff up.

There is other options, depends how much you wanna pay? what they eck is newsleecher?
Just had a quick look think the most they do is 150gb, the 5gb is only a rought guide, if you use more it's £1 a GB

Go check out the forums, you'll get a much more rounded and informed repsonse than asking folk on here.

 

[JoelDee]

flol what kind of linux iso's?

 

[The Hoff]

^It was a joke.

People who download 100gb a month typically say when asked, they are downloading legal files like Linux distro's which weigh in at circa 4GB a piece.

 

[Adam K]

i am on thinkbroadband, and in every single providers section on the forum you have people whinging about how bad they are.

what you have to bear in mind is that people who are having a good service probably won't be signed up to the forum, so it's mainly full of people bitching about how bad their service is, although sections like BT, Pipex, Sky, Talktalk, and a few others really do have a lot of complaints in there.

 

[Rage182]

i'm with Talk talk, they said it would take 3 weeks to get activated, it took 7 days, i've been using them for 6 months now, without a problem, £21.50 a month with caller ID. i know people have had problems, but myself and 5 friends have all signed up, was always set up quicker that they said it would be and all haven't had a problem.

True, which is why they also have forums such as:

Which ISP? (Residential)
Looking for an ISP to supply you with DSL at home? Discuss your thoughts with other people who are already using DSL!

Indeed, competition going on at the minute on cliosport, to see who can collect the most disto's, the person who wins is deemed the best at Linux:clown:
