    Customer service is utter garbage. I have been having problems for over a month, when you call you have to go through the same thing every time, keep telling them its not the line it's the router, some devices work some won't. they wanted me to dismantle my telephone socket to connect the router directly and when I refused they said they would send an engineer and I would be charged! Contract will now be cancelled!!!

    Never sign up with Talk Talk. They lie to you if you ever get to speak to an agent. I could not get my router to work .. their fault. So I cancelled after spending 5 hours on the phone and chat. They promised full refund now after paying for a month I cannot get my money back. They have terrible customer services .. highly trained in fobbing you off and lying. Talk Talk are just crminals who steal your money. Be warned DO NOT SIGN UP WITH TALK TALK

    Where do i begin ... Took out TalkTalk in May 2016, from being with Sky for 6 Years only changed due to increase in cost with Sky.
    Took over 3 weeks to be upgrade to Fibre from Broadband was told several different reasons why it was taking so long ie my line wasnt compatible (althought we used the same line as sky and that was fibre) - there was a bug in the system to wouldnt allow us to have fibre as it wasnt available although it was available the day we took out broadband. TV couldnt be installed on the day of appointment as there was a problem with our aerial so we re arranged the engineer didnt show up. Complained to Customer services after two weeks or going round in circles I escalted my complaint to the CEO office were I was given a result - fibre was installed 10-15 days later approx - the TV box turned up finally. However we are supposed to have 30mb we are lucky if we have 10mb and upload well thats none exsistant.The TV box has now started freezing .. I have tried to cancel several times but get no where and the cost increased as the contract goes on, surely this should be the other way around. I now have escalted to Ombudsman and its under investigation...

    Lies, lies, lies....

    Upsold us to a package on standard broadband saying we would need a new dvr box, when I told them I already had one. Was told the old one wouldn't work. LIES!

    Complained to them. I was told they could not take the new box back and reduce my monthly payments. Instead, they gave me Sky channels at half price.

    Complained about the poor broadband and WiFi. They sent me a new router as they discovered theirs was faulty. Then they tried to upsell me to fiber. All I wanted was the service we were paying for.

    Complained on numerous occasions about the mind-bogglingly poor bandwidth and awful WiFi connectivity. All TalkTalk would ever do is try to upsell me to fiber.

    Moved to a new provider, and now TalkTalk are charging me DOUBLE as a final bill. Apparently the disconnection changeover is two days after their billing period so the only thing they will do is refund me the 29 days of unused time on the NEXT billing period. So essentially stealing my money for the next month. If I (or they) stop my direct debit, I'll get a black mark on my credit score. Told by a manager that she can't do anything about it. What a load of drivel.

    If I was to upgrade to a new fiber package, they could sort everything instantly. But they can't stop themselves taking money they're not entitled to.

    Prices: Average
    Quality of sale: Appalling
    Quality of service provided: Horrific
    Quality of customer care: Wear a helmet

    We joined talk talk within the last month and it's bin the worst thing I've done in a while, promised 45-75mb of Internet, gave it over a week to settle and we get 11! Yes that's right 11! Also we have had the skysport which has never worked since day one, after phone call and emails and them saying we'll sort it, gave them a week and still no help or any means of fixing the issue. So we come to cancel and it took over 2 hours to get them to cancel after they tried and tried to butter us up with rubus, they even put the phone down when we were been connected to cancellion department. And they tried to charge us even though we were in the first 14 days!

    At first the connection speed was pretty good, sitting at 30Mb/s quite comfortably...as of today it is running at 3Mb/s...get your act together and fix your broadband services!
    NOTE: I am on Fibre not a copper connection.

    After ordering through curry's talktalk sent me 2 installations dates then when I phones customer service they told me I would have to pay £25 to change the dates..... Mmmmmm (that never happened as they then came back with accepting one date )

    The the engineer did turn up as planned and the internet went live as planed - Yet between it going live at 12 noon to 8pm it dropped out rebooting itself no less than 30/50 times.....

    Next morning 5am to 7am same thing - dropped out every 10 mins.

    Went to cancel at 9am - that took me through to 1.20pm of which they apparently lost my email address therefore could not send me cancellation confirmation (inside the 14 day calling off) and they told me that I would have to pay one month, and pay £75 penalty if I cancelled my direct debit......

    I have cancelled and re-scheduled EE.

    Broadband disconnects several times an hour, the only help you can get is to call, all the online forms are disabled, the only option for help I get is to upgrade to fibre! renewing 18 month contract.

    Been with talk talk for 4 months and had intermittent speed throughout, complained several times to no avail, recently got even worse, so phoned up to complain about the speed, and told I had to pay £66 for a engineer to come and take a look at there bad signal,
    If you require reliable broadband, with uk call centres and staff who understand you, I would recommend using a different network
    Very disappointed in talk talk

    Was an AOL customer had no problems since 1996, then in May 2015 Talk Talk take over, what a difference continually loosing conection and customer services well is there one get call backs within 48hrs by someone who wants you to remove sockets from the wall and been promised a manager call back but after 4 days nil.

    DO NOT CONSIDER THESE AT ALL

    Everything about these cowboys are a joke.
    76mbps but only getting 10mbps and at peak speeds that make dial up look good. Customer service is the worst i have ever come across, if you want a bit of telephone rage then this might be the company for you...if not stay clear.....they say you get what you pay for....nope you don't get anything but a ever increasing bill and no service for it

    The day after I started the contract, the problems began. The internet connection drops about 20 times per day and every time I report it I am asked to monitor the line for 24 hours. It has been 3 months of the same but no one is interested in a permient fix.Furthermore talktalk wants me to pay the cancelation cost if I end the contract and refuse to accept that they are providing a poor service. Worse broadband provider. If you are rural, disregard the cost and stay clear. Literally a black hole of incompetence.

    I am so disgusted and angered by how bad their customer service. Everybody saying the same think, how terrible that call centre is in a foreign land, they simply don't know what they are doing. How can TT get away with this? I'm writing to OFCOM and watchdog. I'm also writing to Dido their CEO.

    From the day I switched from Sky to Talk Talk, my connection has been very poor and constantly intermittent. I made numerous calls to rectify the issue and was told if an engineer finds a fault then I will be charged. Today I spoke to an tech who said their was nothing wrong with my equipment and the fault was with Talk Talk because they'd set the signal too high?! So it's taken 12 months to find this out... utter rubbish. Finally my 12 months are up and I've cancelled it. I shall never use this service again - be warned.

    AWFUL. I can not stress how badly this company have dealt with me. I have tried to upgrade to Fibre. First engineer appt didn't turn up (one day of my time waiting at home for no reason), 2nd appt was cancelled by a text message on the morning of the appt, 3rd appt I was sent an email telling me I had cancelled the order!!! when I phoned up the last time the guy on the phone tells me its a problem with BT and seemed more than happy for me to cancel my contract. no offer to try and improve or resolve the issues. I can not believe they have got this far as a company!

    Changed to Talk Talk from Tesco. Firstly, they never sent the modem and CD package before the activation date.(still haven't got it) Lucky I have my own modem. Don't know what my E-mail address is because of this. The speed has never been so low. OK, so my village has always been a bit of a problem area for broadband but was enjoying 1mb speed for about a year. Talk Talk speed was only around 0.2mb. When I phoned customer "service", they told me there was a 14 day stabilization period where their engineers are still fiddling with settings and stuff, which they never stated when I signed up. Every other provider has given full speed immediately. Customer Service is less than absoloute crap! On hold for ages, speaking to a different nationality every time, got hung up on, trying to tell me their modem is better than mine, bad attitudes and apathy is all you will ever receive from this bunch of lying, timewasting, stress making idiots. Talk Talk? More like ALL TALK!!! Stay far far far away!

    TALKTALK is full of ****, don't you ever place an order with them. So a week ago I placed an order with them for a fibre optic broadband, I received a confirmation email and all looked good. Then next day they cancelled and they said they don't support fibre optic in y area, they asked me to place a new order, so I spoke to some one and tried to place a new order and he said they do support fibre optic at my area so I placed the order again and now the installation date has been moved forward! then next day again the same thing happens they cancelled my order for the same reason (they don't support fibre optic at my area, which they said twice that they do when I was placing my order). Spoke to them again and they asked me to place a normal broadband which I did again, and after three days of my order they cancelled my THIRD order again stating that the TV failed (thjs time they found another reason) and they asking me to place a new order. I mean seriously if they can't even take an order how this guys going to setup my broadband.

    Pathetic Internet service provider
    The most pathetic, incompetent internet service provider in the country. Do not sign contracts with them. In order to solve a problem that has arisen, they first say there is no problem, then they say, sorry, there was a problem with your connection due to the problem that occurred in the area you live in. After they had done all the tests Then they said they fixed the problem. I go back and reported that the problem was not solved, and this was carried out for 2 months. when I decided to close my account after 2 months of struggle, they kept me in phone traffic for 6 hours and finally, they accepted close the account. Then they apologized and said that they would deduct the monthly fee I paid from my account as a credit note, but nothing happened. They tried everything, even made it difficult for me not to leave them, they deliberately made me wait on the phone. They send a postage-paid envelope to send back their useless routers. I did so. I get an e-mail saying they have received it and the sentence they call me is "you are a zero-vaste hero. Today they send me another postage-paid envelope and they want me to post back the router again. After all, when you look at the last two days of comments from Trustpilot, you see what a disaster they are. With their useless help team, they are trying to help people. Hey, talk talk you should be ashamed of this poor service.

    Moved from BT for lower price but unreliable connection means I'm going back to them. Plus net seem to spend more on their marketing than they do on their network infrastructure. Disappointed to say the least.

    I agree, AVOID AT ALL COSTS WOULDNT USE EVEN IF IT WAS FREE. Average time on phone for customer services is 1hr. Average calls to sort out 1 issue is at least 10. I had tv package too but never worked. Paid to break contract it was so bad. Now with SKY. Brilliant customer services. 5 mins on phone

    Tempted by low prices I switched to TalkTalk. Big mistake, broadband speed .02Mbps at best & kept losing connection. Complained via web chat & a number of emails but no resolution just going over the same things again and again. Moved back to Plusnet and getting 1.0Mbps not ultra fast but much better. Since then TalkTalk have failed to answer my emails about a contract termination fee which I will not pay because they could not provide their own minimum guaranteed speed.

    AVOID THIS COMPANY.
    I requested to cancel my account online in August due to moving out. I work Monday to Friday, so calling is extremely difficult. I paid what they said was an early fee. I received an email the following month saying I owed another month. I tried calling them up whilst taking the time of work to do, I was passed over the 3 different departments and had to explain exactly the same 3x over!! to the point they hung up on. No one explained any information about any other payments... I called up again in October explaining I am still in debt to them!! I ended up paying over £70, and exhaggerated i wanted my details removed from the system and the account closed as this was getting ridiculous and i havent lived in the property for 2 months. By the time I got the payment I still tried disputing any of these payments considering no Broadband was used between these months. Again, the laziness and unhelpfulness of the staff just kept passing my call to department after department. When I made the payment, I specifically asked the guy on the phone before making it, if my details will be removed, my account will be closed and me not receiving any further emails from them!! His reply was yes. Until today another month later, another email saying I owe a month bill! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I had to take further time off work, ONCE AGAIN explaining what has now happened and AGAIN being passed over department to department. I finally got to someone which has basically tried to state it was my fault and I now have to pay this month off and also pay off another cancelation fee and also pay for a month in advance!! I told her to listen to the call from when I paid, to the point she was getting herself confused as her associates had written different notes down! She then stated they had to listen to the call and determine who's at fault! She got extremely funny when I then asked for the copy of the recording so that they can say they listened and pin my liable! It's absolutely disgusting this customer service and Talk Talk as a company! The whole thing seems like 1x giant scam, I have never missed a payment with them or behind. The internet and connection were average. When i explained when she was trying to blame me for this, she said "well these customers that leaves the reviews don't understand out policies and are upset because they need to pay!!!!" I said to her, when the reviews are exactly the same as my complaint... and your own staff members don't have a clue what they are offering, selling or writing notes and even said yourself you're confused, what does the tell you?! THE ABSOLUTE CHEEK. after putting me on hold and 2hrs later... I was hung up on!! Now what?! So baffled that a company like this has not been investigated into and things have been taken further. They will not take another payment off me for their own mistakes!! As for taking me details off their system after I paid this bill, and they didn't... that's another concern in itself!!

    It was easy to get the service switched from BT. Speed and line reliability good. (The Huawei router can be a big problem to configure forwarding if you need it.) A year later trying to move service to another house was a nightmare.The main problem seems to be poor training and extraordinarily poor communications skills on the part of their support staff. In the end I just cancelled the service - which wasn't easy either! After a few wasted hours they agreed to cancel. Then I got a phone call from one of their sales staff. After I told him what poor service I got, he tried to persuade me to stay with the service. What an idiot! I wouldn't recommend anyone to go with TTalk unless they plan to connect a basic service from them and not make any changes - including cancelling. Just putting a block on the line when I moved house was handled badly. TTalk either don't care about bad support, or are incompetent, or take the view that some people want a service dirt cheap and are prepared to accept the service that goes with it (dirt).

    I have found Talk Talk to be the cheapest and most reliable, never having a problem and managing to upgrade and getting a great deal! I had Sky which kept dropping the internet so found the next cheapest and has been great!

    I've been a TalkTalk customer for a number of years and a few months ago was going to leave because of a price hike. I was persuaded to stay with a reduced fee and since then broadband speeds have been through the floor and often the service drops out completely. I've recorded speeds as low as 0.04mbps. TalkTalk's speedtest is the Ookla one however when run through the TalkTalk website it gives different and more favourable results to running it directly through Ookla. I suspect there may be some manipulation of the result although this is only suspicion. I have spent a huge number of hours going nowhere with online chat "help" and telephone "help" although they have now agreed that my contract can be cancelled because they are failing to give me the minimum speed specified. I'll be leaving soon but TalkTalk have sent me an email asking me to stay for another reduced fee and described the service they are providing me with as "fast" and "reliable." It is neither!! Anyone thinking of becoming a TalkTalk customer would be well advised to look elsewhere, the company is a nightmare and really don't give a toss about it's customers. If the senior managers tested the help service maybe things would change but until then expect to spend between 1-2 hours if using online chat and a minimum of 1 hour for telephone support. Do not expect any faults to be found or rectified in this time scale. Invariably you will be told there is no fault and if they send an engineer out you might be liable for a fee. When engineers have visited me in the past they have found faults with the service. Life is too short and too precious to waste on a company like TalkTalk. I will never return to TalkTalk, they are a nightmare.
