    I'm on an 8Mb deal and get between 5 & 6Mb....when it works. The problem is the router constantly losing the internet connection. It can take up to half an hour to reconnect. Tried customer service many times and those friendly Asian robots go through all their a,b,c prompts and eventually get me to phone 'level B support' once they've authorised me to be able to speak to them. Level B try to sund more knowledgeable but I'm now almost a year into the deal with no improvement. I'm no longer trying and will be moving when the contract allows.

    Supplied wireless router does not support VPN connections, so had to revert to my old router but the speed is near that advertised. Overall excellent value for money

    talktalk was absolutley fantastic until they bought and merged with tiscali. i had tiscali and switched because the speed was slow and they banned numerous websites from being accessed because they used java. i can only imagine what possessed them to purchase such a joke of a company because my internet speed dropped from 4.5 meg to 1.4 in a matter of days once the two companies were merged together. i also love the fact they send me emails trying to get me to upgrade to 24 meg broadband when there own speed internet test tells me the talk talk line in my area can only take speeds of upto 6 meg i think a swift move to virgins fiber optic will be on the cards when this contract expires.

    Rating of "very poor" is not far enough down the list to describe Customer Service, "Dismal", "Pathetic", "evasive", "virtually impossible to contact", "full of Bulls...t". Speed rates as very poor because that is the speed they choose to deliver rather than rectify (after 6 weeks of trying) a line fault.

    Fine until things go wrong then worse than absolutely pathetic - do not deserve to remain in business - set up a new supplier on one phone while I waited for Talk Talk tech service to answer the other!

    6Mbps down and 0.5Mbpa up average just about all the time. Line speed slow-downs or outages are extremely rare and brief. In terms of price to speed TalkTalk is still by far the best on the market. I've been with them for about 6 years now and their customer service has greatly improved and provides fast accurate responses should issues occur. To be honest I do not know how TalkTalk provides such a good service for the price!

    After a long periopd of very frequent B/band failures & no real help from the normal cust. service a higher level of Network support got involved.An apparent Re-boot of the local exchange equipment produced an instant improvement....speed up from 1.5/1.8 to 2.4/2.6

    Speed really bad and inconsistent, customer service even worse, not worth the hassle you get nothing but stress with talk talk, think twice about joining them, I myself will be changing after christmas as had enough of them now.
