    Get service. No surprise Bill to pay . Better speed than sky full service because they slow the speed down and claim it at the fastest.

    I have to admit, I don’t know why so many people are down on this company. They are brilliant! For a start, they didn’t even waver in the first 10 days in which they said that it might! I’m nearly always on the internet. Especially watching films! I love watching films on the internet and there are no interruptions! They’re lovely to talk with, too! They’re a very reasonable price, as well! I could go on for ages. But I give them full marks! Oh! They’re better than other broadband providers I been with. I can’t fault them!

    Perfect to be honest, never had an issue with our connection, we had multiple devices online at once and never had an issue, even down to cancelling everything was fair and simple

    My mother has this provider. It's pretty good the only thing that is annoying is no engineers come out and you have to do it all yourself. I'm amazed no ones bothered to review this company.

    I Don't recommend this broadband. Quite disappointedthat that at the beginning we've got promised a fast broadband and turns out that it is far too slow.+ 12 month contract. The internet does interrupt often with covid online lessons, especially wonderful (not)!! Thankfully hands down, it does not go off totally (that's why I give them 3 stars for the reliability). Also, contacted them few times about it. Customer service always good give them 5 stars for it. Sorry for this review but it's only fair for people to know.

    The customer service are disgusting
    They overcharged you regularly and can never give you clear reasons why.
    Their payment plans are ridiculous.
    They constantly go into your bank without your permission.
    If they have access.
    Never give them your card details
    As they will abuse them .
    The phone and text harassing is like a having a stalker .
    Do not use this company .
    You will regret it .
    I think it’s someone who’s won’t the lottery as their business practice is gangster.
    The stupidity is real .
    They are rude and aggressive on the phone .
    And they also mess with your service for fun .

    After being with it all for over a year I decided to switch providers due to my connection frequently going off. When I tried to resolve this with the company I was told I needed to prove this by going onto a laptop even though they were able to tell me several dates that it failed from their computer. After informing them I was switching due to their failure I was told I would still have to pay for the service due to being in a contract with them.
    Would definitely recommend to stay clear of this broadband provider

    Steer well clear, I be just left because they would raise the direct debt as they please without any warning.
    I paid my last full month bill and ended their supply and cancelled direct debit, only for them to cut me off after 2 weeks and charged!!, me for cancelling direct debt.
    Staff are rude and uncooperative, I would receive up to 6 calls a day from them and e mails and texts. I had to block them on my phone in the end as it got into harassment their side, I haven’t delt with such an unprofessional company ever as this.

    After so much harassment and bullying tactics after I cancelled my direct debit and cancelled my account on July 2023 I was sent over 15 emails, 16 texts and 14 calls.Due to this I paid my account
    I was charged £12.50 for late payment. I was then informed if any credit left would be returned to me, which would be 1-7th Sept. I had to phone them up on 12th Sept to enquire where my credit was? I got an apology as this had not been actioned.
    What an absolute arse of a company, surprised they're still in business!

    I live on a pension and can’t afford any more than I pay. I really am not paying for broadband it drops out continuously. Customer service ring me and say all ok but I could increase my payments by £10 and get a better service. Stuck in this contract and paying for a totally rubbish service.

    I've been with Italk for 3or4 months and my service has gone of 3 or four times usually at weekends and for between an hour and 5 to 6 hours, until last Sunday 07/05/23 8am I found that the broadband was off, so I phoned Italk and the office was closed.
    The service was off all day Sunday and was still off on Bank Holiday Monday 08/05/23 so I phoned the office again and got through to customer services and spoke to a lady who went through a few tests and checks with me,Until she came to the last test,when she asked me if I had a micro filter to plug into the phone line socket, as I didn't have one she said they would send me one and when it arrived to phone back and they could do the last test so if it still didn't fix the problem they could raise a fault on there system to send out an engineer.
    Well the micro filter arrived on the Thursday, so that evening when I got home I plugged the micro filter in and my Broadband service came back on, so by then my service had been off for five whole days.
    On Friday afternoon I phoned I talk and told them the filter had worked and asked about a reduction on my bil for the 5 days I had no service, to be told that because the last test hadn't been done until I got the filter, no fault had logged so they could not compensate me for the 5 days I was without service. Which I think is a very poor service.

    Luckily I am nearing the end of my contract and will avoid ever renewing it.I have never achieved more than half of the promised speed and upload speed most of the time is hardly registering.It is continually dropping out and almost unusable with an iPad.After hours of waiting to contact customer service the cost of trying to break the contract four months early was ridiculous and compared to other providers the cost of an alternative a faster service was to expensive..With what was promised when I initially signed up for this contract and what was supplied there is no way I would ever contemplate staying with them even if the price was acceptable.My main use was for very low for a security camera which is continually dropping out and then failing to reconnect because of the poor signal.

    Can honestly say these guys are the worst provider i have ever dealt with, was with them for 8 months and over those 8 months i can say collectively i had about 1 months internet. Its laughable once i phoned up to say the internet is working but not the phone and a manager who i was talking to said she was suprised i had internet because on her side it showing as being down. There was never a period for a day where i could say i had full coverage after months of complaining and sending emails and being dealt with by 2 different manager its the worst providers. Dont get me wrong the customer service wasn't terrible just internet and phone service is diabolical. What upset me the most is i cancelled my service and they have the cheek to send it over to debt collectors saying i owe them

    Bunch of harassing crooks. I've been representative for my friend agreed by ITalk. I've organised a new broadband company to take over her Tel line. I've spoken with their customer service agents on numerous occasions letting them know of our dissatisfaction. My friend (mam) is 82 years old. She lost her BB with another company. ITalk her Tel line supplier organised to take over her BB, gave a date and sent a router. One month later they ask her to send it back as "it was faulty", how they new it was faulty is beyond us as we never unboxed it or attempted to instal it. My mam was sent a communication which essential threatened her with paying for this box if it went missing so she paid recorded to send it back. ITalk still at this time, one month on said they were going to provide her BB service,they sent a bill for the agreed package which turned out to be over £125, still no BB. Eventually having spoken to a customer service rep he insured me a new router would be sent out that day. Two weeks later still no BB. Called again, eventually the customer assistant told me they had no intention to supply BB. You can imagine how annoyed we got but I kept my cool. We then took a deal with another supplier who agree to take over the telephone line and supply BB, great. Called ITalk again, informed them we were moving to a new supplier. All the while acting on mam's behalf. Several calls back and fourth to arrange a refund of the upfront payment which they are withholding until the line is taken over, so making a complaint now about the prepaid BB contract, ITalk tell me the package mam signed up for wasn't for BB and therefore isn't due a refund. They were steadfast telling me we never agreed to supply BB yet I told them that was crap as they'd originally sent out a box.
    Lies lies lies, bullying tactics, all lies. Now today they called my mam with more miss information which is harassment. I will be contacting the relevant ombudsman.
    DO NOT TAKE A PACKAGE WITH THESE CROOKS

    Do not go with them. You will regret it. They tell you different things, The internet is super slow and when you cancel it and provide proof they tell you nonsense on the phone but don't actually do it. We have complained several times every time they tell you different things and after months not being with them they still charge you and on the phone says that is not even your last bill. We only been with them for 2 weeks and didn't receive the fast internet we paid for. You will be blocked from our credit card.

    Lucky to get one star! Despicable company. Not received my box as was rushed into hozzy. Got let out after a while but they won't give me a refund. Apparently I should have let them know I was going hozzy. How could I?!!! I got offered a month free on my contract! Topping it off they're trying to charge me for an early exit fee... Absolutely ridiculous. Stay well clear. People will soon know what a useless company this is. All I want is what I am owed!!

    Absolutely cowboys! They spoke to my 85yr old mother who suffers with dementia, over the phone and signed her up for a 2 yr contract, when I contacted them to complain and cancel contract they said she would have to pay £185 exit fee!!!
    I was on the phone for nearly an hour with 3 different people, all unhelpful talking round in circles , how can this contract be lawful when they were talking to a person who had no idea what they were signing up for?!!! Do not touch this company with a barge pole

    Don’t waste any time with them because sure as hell they will waste yours...

    All that’s going to happen is they will give you a dsl, but that’s all you’ll get. Aside from the bills and and the multiple problems that come with signing up with them.

    You will get the dsl because once they get that going they count it as being connected or live and from that day on if not the months leading up to it will be a living hell.

    P.s they put you live to enter you into a contract but you won’t get internet. Just a load of bills and a 150 quid call out fee only planned by them. And a disconnection fee for a connection you’ve never had.

    I dare you go with Italk. It would be the worst mistake your life!!!

    If it seems to be good tobe true then it likely is too be good to be true.
    I thought i bagged a good deal with fast fibre broadband, but oh no,this is THE most incompetent broadband company.
    Customer service staff are miserable and it really does come across they are working from home because some of them answer the phone like you've interrupted them.
    Processing is a joke. Today i received a letter for £65 bill for early termination of contract. This transpired whilst in my cooling off period and their diabolical service, i was shopped around for another quote. I told iTalk they then offered me a good deal and rectified the issues.
    I believed what i was told and subsequently cancelled the other service a month ago. iTalk then said they are UNABLE to cancel it their end so instead of dealing with the technical issue they have sent me a bill.
    Logic? None
    I phoned customer service twice today. Nobody can tell me the timescale for a call back.
    As soon as my contract ends i shall NOT be renewing it with iTALK. I may well have to pay more to another provider but iTALK are driving me insane!!!

    If I could mark 0 I would.
    After cancelling service over 6months ago and clearing more than the last bill, company continue to try take money and succeed in some cases, deleting stopping direct debit does not work ,getting a new card does not work! They set up new direct debits without permission, continue to take money months after service is cut off and cancelled. I've been with a new supplier since end of October but they continue. They say on reviews they will contact u and don't. This service is disgusting under no condition do u use them. Treat of court proceedings after all this I am now building my own case with enough evidence of cancellation and recorded calls, along with fraud charges with the bank against them.

    This company have no communication between each other, if you have to ring them on your house phone they charge you as they did me, fifteen pounds for ringing my own internet company is disgusting, I tried to complain, as at one stage I had to ring them, they kept me on hold, put me through to wrong departments and then charged me four pounds for the call, I rang and complained and got told that the person in charge was not moving from the charges they still stand. This company, has really bad customer service
