    I was called while at work with the NHS by a very pushy salesman who would not shut up even though I kept saying it was not convenient as I was working and could not have a conversation In the end I just put the phone down which I don't like doing but had to as he would not stop talking, would have been better if he was polite enough to ask if it was convenient to talk or when would be a good time? Having read all the other comments on here I wont even pick it up if I get another call Thank you to all you people for your comments as they have been very useful

    This is the worst broadband provider I had to pay a
    An early exit fee to leave them , service went live and never had any broadband what so ever for 3 months , rang them countless times if you miss their call back from fault dept they remove it from their system so they don’t have to pay compensation even though the fault existed for 3 months , when that have done this you have to go right back to plugging in to test socket on your phone which I had to do several times I even left work early and had a call back booked with a manager so I lost half a days pay and they never phoned me as was booked earlier in the day , I waited for a few days and then I rang them back and started process all over again , I wasted hours on the phone trying to get it resolved and countless times it was never resolved, they even wonted to charge me £65 pound if I never returned the router , which is still in my cupboard been waiting over two months for them to send pre paid envelope so I can return it , my guess is the router will end up in bin as they even talked to get it posted back to them ,
    They are also not registered with ofcom , but with someone else,I eventually got £37 compensation their first offer was £4 and a few pence , again took several hours of phone calls to get that they admitted they could see I had not a single moment of broad band from them in 3 months but still wonted paying £70 pound for the months which they never provided me with any broadband, in the finish I got their early exit fee dropped from £180 down to £65 so in the finish I ended up having to pay them £115 to exit early from contract when they never provided the service they was supposed to , I told them it was like stealing money getting paid for providing no service what so ever for 3 months , the only thing they gave me was a lot of wasted time and stress . So pls do yourself a massive favour and look elsewhere for broadband may be stay with one of the big names but defo not Italk

    Worst provider in the UK. Lost connection more than I ever had it. Cancelled the contract and the Direct Debit, as I was getting no service at all. Then they committed FRAUD. I have never given this company my Debit Card details at all. Yet they have obtained them from somewhere and taken a subscription for £19.99 from my Debit Card. I have informed the Bank and am taking whatever action is needed. These people a have never seen my Debit Card but they have used the details to fraudulently obtain money, and we don't know how much more they will attempt to take. Will give you more details after hearing from my bank and the Police.

    Quite honestly, I am truly baffled as to why this company is still in business. We have had nothing but trouble since the day we signed up to them. Far too many issues to list. I am absolutely disgusted with them and judging by the amount of negative reviews it is obvious I am not alone in my opinion. Now to put oil on the flames, we are stuck with them, I would love more than anything to be able to walk away from this tin pot, unprifessional, lying, dishonourable charlatans and sign up to another service. They must be laughing all the way to the bank knowing they are receiving an extortionate amount of hard earned money each month from people who placed their trust in them.

    If italk could be measured on their skill for gaslighting, italk would score top marks. Unfortunately italk fails on professionalism, account management, integrity, good customer service and complaint resolution in a timely manner. The important requirements of a service provider.

    Stick to the big players in broadband as this shabby outfit isn’t worth all the stress to have a sub par broadband connection and deal with drones on the phone who sound bored out of their tiny minds. For your health and wellbeing, steer well clear!

    If I could give this company a fraud star I would.
    Absolute disgrace of a company. Not legitimate not trustworthy.
    Been with italk since November. 9.95 a month for WiFi. They cut my internet service off 4 weeks ago and when I called they said I was up to date with payments and the problem was internat and I had to remove the back off my internet router and call them back. No legitimate company requires customers to mess with their electronic routers. So that was red flag number one. They then told me in order to see the problem they would have to send a service man to my property for £100 charge. I refused. I have paid my bulls up to date and had 4 weeks of service. Then to be cut off and told they want to charge me to find out why my internet isn't working. They have since tried to take £209 EACH DAY unauthorized.

    Complete cowboys.

    DO NOT TRUST THIS BACKSTREET COWBOY COMPANY

    Paid for service and speeds that I wasn't getting, I complained to customer services who didn't care, so I cancelled my policy and now they are still to this date trying to take money from my account by setting up new direct debits without permission and I have even had to cancel my card as they try take payments as a card payment.
    Reported to trading standards and the fraud team through my bank.
    Steer well clear of this awful company.

    The telephone sales people are con men and will say absolutely anything for you to buy their broadband… they lied to me and claimed my download speed would be compatible and even faster than Netflix. They persuade and convince - all for them to have their pockets lined with (commission) at the end of the day for selling an awful product. For someone, like myself, who has no clue about figures and numbers - they took absolute pride in blagging my head with fake figures and implying they could provide excellence and efficiency for great value. It was a rarity when I could connect to the internet and then when I was able to I was given a Privacy warning from apple about the unsecured line of internet, long story short multiple of my online account details got leaked. On top of all this, they still continue to attempt to take money out of my account near enough EVERY DAY… ranging from £29.80, £32.15, £8.11, £81.98, £64.29, £47.03 and the list continues. I refuse to give this company a single penny since they cannot keep up with their guarantee of providing me with internet - money grabbing, scummy individuals who attempt (and succeed) at pulling the wool over your eyes (especially if you’re not tech savvy). I would NOT recommend to anyone. It is not worth the cheap price as you do not even get internet guaranteed. An utter joke. I will be reporting to watchdog.

    *Scam COMPANY***
    If I could give minus 10stars I would!!

    I cancelled my direct debit numerous of times with these absolute con artists but these complete sharks keep setting it up without my consent which I'm pretty sure is ILLEGAL! Literally Stealing money from my account. Do not sign up to this scam company worst mistake I've done was coming across these crooks!! I've also looked up reviews an looks like I'm not the only innocent person this company is Stealing from as there is so many people like myself going through the same thing with this company!! Not to mention the harassment is an absolute joke. They phone me about 5/6times a day chasing money they are NOT owed even tho they are just resetting up my direct debit an take random amounts of money out of my account without my consent anyway!! I've payed my cancellation fees an was told numerous times my details would b removed from there system an they can not take an will not take anymore money from my account, this is not the case they are absolutel Liars an they can reset up direct debit without consent an take money whenever suits them!!! Hope nobody else has to go through this as I'm tortured with these sharks Stealing from my account for months now!!

    Do not waste time or money with this company, complete sharks! Went for months without internet services, every time I would phone and state me and my family were without internet access they would suggest paying more money to get better services, so I did only to be no better off, but still taking money for services that they could not or would not provide. Try charging me for an engineer that did not come to my home as I set it up myself. Eventually I left and went with sky, that have been fantastic. I have had nothing but stress and constantly chasing me for money I do not owe and even to this day months later continue to attempt to take money from my bank account without my consent. Stay away from this company, unreasonable prices for services that you will not receive and illegal behaviour in charges and taking money without consent from your bank account constantly. Go with sky or anyone else do not get ripped off and left with no service, so unless you wish to waste money on nothing stay well away from this company. Sharks ripping hard working people!!!!

    PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS AWFUL COMPANY.
    Honestly what a shambles of a company.

    Please avoid at all costs. I wrote a review to let people know that I had to go back to my bank to chargeback the money they were taking from my account illegally.

    They obviously did not like my review as they then had it removed from the site, the company is a joke.

    If they want to keep removing the review that's fine I'll keep writing them

    This company or should I say robbing cowboys. Unreal. Had ongoing issues ever since they are supposed to be supplying my new place with Internet. Had to wait over 2 weeks for an activation date for Internet. Before I received any connection, a fault came about. I'm still having ongoing issues with connection not to mention that I feel the staff are trying to manipulate you. They don't take complaints seriously and just fob you off. They keep saying ...Well, the line is okay as we checked. Now saying that it could be the master router could be the issue. Not them of course! Said they could send engineer but if the problem is indoors then I have to pay for the engineer to carry out work. Why the hell should I pay when it's not my problem. I never caused this. I think they just tell you anything. They do not listen and have had to relay my issues over and over. Please stay well shot of this company. They want shutting down! Going to contact Trading standards

    They don't stick to the dates agreed and they have a very bad customer service and they always keep changing the go live date agreed and even the last go-live date which was today (it passed 5pm and it is not there yet and I'm still waiting for the broadband).
    I called today to raise a complaint and told to record it and they said I've to wait to midnight and I asked to speak to a manager and they she is busy.

    Below are the details:

    1) The package was agreed and paid for on 19 July
    2) When the package was sold it was confirmed by the italk representative on phone that the go-live date will be 03-Aug (15 calendar days after the sale date) if not earlier and that was the basis of the agreement.
    3) Following that an email was sent to say that the go live date will be 03-09 August (this was not accepted by me the customer).
    4) A week later another email was sent by italk to say that go live is now 10 August (this was not accepted by myself).
    5) I called the customer service team and after 10min discussion I asked to talk to a manager and I was advised that no managers are available. I asked to talk with the customer complaint team and the representative cut-off the call.
    6) I called again after an hour and talked with another customer representative and after an hour of discussion and him trying to chaeck and discuss the issue with his team internally, he told me that the go-live date that was sent to me is 17 Aug although the email below shows clearly that it is 03-09 August and this was not agreed at the point of sale which shows that italk is giving four go live dates 03 Aug, 03-09 Aug, 10 Aug & 17 Aug and it’s a complete mess.
    7) I also asked for a customer complaint number and he said that they don’t operate this system and cannot give me a number.
    8) The customer service advisor said that he’ll have further discussion to check why there is discrepancy and call me on the same day yesterday but this did not happen

    Didn't even want to put 1 star avoid this company at all costs. My bill was paid off my card by myself (direct debit failed so got put on payment plan paid off my card each month) without any knowledge they set up another direct debit and still taking payments off me on the phone, when I realised on bank statement and called them no apology no refund just an account in credit and they still proceed to take money monthly. Cancelled direct debit with my bank and they just set up another within days I have had to cancel my card to stop them taking more payments. Definitely switching
