“Do not have talk talk it’s do not works”

“I hardly use my landline phone, last friday 6/10/17 I used it to order a product which necessitated confirmation on my landline. The company tried phoned on my usual number but could not get in touch with me. I made some checks , and discovered to my HORROR that t-t gave my number to somebody else and created a new number for me. I did not ask for it/ never gave my permission/ never consented it. Tried to contact them but they are playing pass the buck game with me. I'm trying to leave them but they are still playing games. Besides I suffered over a year with phone calls from Indian scammers trying to con me. Talk-talk is the worse company to join, once you're in your goose is cooked.”

“DISGUSTING COMPANY I am on Talk Talk's basic broadband and phone package. When I first phoned them to find out how much the monthly costs were, their indian sales staff lied by giving me a much lower quote than the actual broadband costs. I signed up, thinking I was getting a bargain. When I found out a month later that the bills were higher than the figures they quoted, I phoned them but was basically told it was tough luck and fobbed off. The broadband has been generally slow - almost unfit for purpose. Some days nearly non-existant. On the best days, it can just about play HD video, but buffers a lot. Websites take ages to refresh and there is a general inconsistency in the speed from day to day. Extremely poor, overall. Last month they charged me premium rates for calls which should be charged at UK standard landline rate - without informing me. This drove up my landline bill considerably, taking it into arrears. They ended up cutting off my phone so I could not make outgoing calls. This, in turn put my account in considerable arrears and a couple of weeks later they cut off my broadband and demanded I pay my arrears in full before reconnecting me. This company is disgusting. Nothing they say can be trusted. No doubt all their customers feel the same way and are jumping ship. So Talk Talk are obviously clawing as much money from their few existing customers as they can... By creating extortionate charges and fleecing customers while they still can before they go bust. I will be cancelling all Talk Talk services as soon as possible. This company has no idea how to conduct business in civilised society. The sooner they die a death, the better for all of us.”

“Had the worst year ever with talk talk. Consistent network failure and evey phone call was either dismissed and advised to call back when it stopped working so they had a better chance to find the problem? The majority of the time the office was closed when my wifi stopped and they rushed me off the phone when I tried to explain this. Or they just completely hung up when they realised my call would take more than a minute. That have still charged me for months of no working wifi so I need to Seek legal advice as they refuse to deal with it. They made it impossible to discuss or solve anything. Some advisors even cutting you off and speaking over you to try and finish the sales script without listening to the actual problem. Which Is managements problem for pushing sales scripts instead of listening to their customers. Do not go near talk talk you waste so much money when your sky or phone etc can't connect to the wifi.”

“Please avoid this company - I transferred my service from these scammers to BT shortly after they mugged me with a price rise 3 months into my 'no price rise' contract. After sending me a 'sorry you're leaving' letter in June, they subsequently decided that they weren't notified of my service transfer (you physically can't transfer broadband without a MAC transfer, so a fairly simple-minded lie) and that I therefore owe them 3 months of payments for the service they no longer supply. 3 months after transferring, I'm now being hounded by their extortionists Moorcroft - No attempt has been made to explain what the extortion demand relates to, so I have to guess they're trying to claim 3 months of subscription payments. Customer service staff are garbage, refuse to communicate or issue a deadlock letter - clearly think that a complaint can't be made to the ombudsman schemes without one, but fortunately not the case. Disgusting people, criminal company - avoid them like the plague”

“Absolutely disgusting customer service, I have logged a complaint regarding slow broadband connection and it took many phonecalls for them to actually send an engineer who replaced the router. I had extremely poor connect for 4 months and they offered me £4 compensation with a £10 Goodwill gesture. Needless to say I have cancelled my contact. Do not use talk talk as they honestly do not have a clue and their customers service skills are truly none existent. Absolutely hopeless , I just can't believe how many hours of my life I have wasted talking to these people and getting absolutely no where !!!”

“My password for my email address was changed, presumably by hackers. Tried to reset it but could only get reset option sent to my old invalid email address. Tried calling Talktalk and after some 5 hours on the phone going round in circles. Was in informed that they had no admin powers to reset my @lineone.net email account, which was taken over by talk talk in 2009 when they bought Tiscali.”

“If it were possible, I would give them zero stars. The quality of the internet service is dire. In the time we've been with them, we've never once hit their guaranteed minimum mbps & their customer service is woefully poor. We have to wait another 6 weeks til we can take it to the ombudsman, at which point we will. Dreadful, don't sign up with them.”

“Customer service was really bad. Called them to know the offers. Instead telling me offers he was asking me why did I call If I already checked it online. What kind of rubbish customer service it is? Frank was the man who answered the phone.”

“0*(star) from me. I called their customer service, Frank of their customer service assistant answered and was not even bothering if I take their contact or not. So it's a rubbish customer service from talktalk. I do not recommended Talktalk at all.”

“Our Broadband speed has never been what you might call sprightly with Talktalk, but when it went down to 230KBps Download and 130KBps Upload one night (verified with an online speed testing tool) I felt enough was enough. Even early next (Sunday) morning the speed was still only 690KBps and 290KBps, so still far short of what we pay for. Being a Sunday I used their Chat service, and well, their staff were even slower than their broadband service. An overseas connection with poor comprehension of written English and a reliance on what must be their own toolbox of instant 'stock' questions and answers. No further forward so I'll be changing supplier and registering a formal complaint with OFCOM.”

“Needing just good quality reliable broadband for the house, TalkTalk offered the most competitive price without any of the 'hidden' extras or set-up costs. Installation was a doddle and I couldn't be happier!”

“""I requested for a phone line, fibre and line transfer nearly 3 months ago. Some guy from BT came around and mess up my next door sockets in order to put wrong phone number. His line and the system isn't working at all. Talk Talk has been giving me appointments 2-3 weeks, long waiting, 6 times happened then cancelling it or sometimes they don't bother to call to cancel. I am out of the fibre, transfer and my line. ON top of that they are billing me for the wrong broadband and wrong line into someone else socket they put in. HORRIBLE experience. I suffered a heavy loss and they don't bother.”

“""The absolute worst customer service. Every phone call for even the simplest enquiry ends up lasting 30 minutes. I can't understand the agent on the phone and all they seem to do is deliver unnecessarily lengthy answers from a script they have been given. Talk Talk disconnected my wifi whilst I was recovering from an operation in hospital without my authorisation. I subsequently had to have a whole new service re-connected which they had the audacity to charge me for and since then I have had barely functioning internet. If I could use any other provider I would but no-one else services my area. I have been on the phone 22 minutes already just to confirm whether I can expect the engineer that I was told would be visiting me today - a simple yes or no answer seems to be beyond the capability of their staff. Talk Talk should be ashamed of themselves.”

“Absolutely terrible service, I placed an order for broadband online, passed the credit checks and got my router and phone number. Then 2 days before an engineer was due to install my phone line I receive an email from talktalk stating that I have cancelled my own order! When I rang customer services they said there is nothing they can do.”
