Rubish customer service, all lies, fake promises, been trying to solve my issue for two weeks , didn’t get sorted, everyday had to spent 2 hours on chat to be able to discuss and explain the situation but they transfer to a different department and never get sorted, i asked manager to call back they gave me 24 hours to call, but now its 5 days never get any call, i called again and asked for the manager, i have been told manager will definitely call but after another day i never received any call, sent email to make a complain, they said someone will contact me but after a week still waiting for the reply, never ever going to be a talk talk customer again, never recommend

Absolutely rubbish service. Going round in circles constantly. I live in a small bungalow and have constantly been online to the chat trying to resolve the slow/No internet. They tried to make me pay £85 for an extender. I've had engineers out and their resolutions made zero difference. I have now requested a call back to close the account. I even upgraded my mobile phone to try and resolve the issue but this has made no difference at all. There are 2 mobile phones only in the house that use the wifi. No gaming consoles or smart tv. Rubbish rubbish rubbish. Would not recommend

For anyone who is thinking of taking up the offer of Fibre To The Premises - let me share my experience of incompetence and unacceptable customer support from Talktalk.
In November 2023 I signed up to Talktalk full fibre 150 with VoIP - The initial, agreed, FTTP installation had to be rescheduled due to TT failing to dispatch the necessary new router in time. On the new day of installation, it was discovered that TT had not included the Digital Voice Adaptor, which is needed to provide access to VoIP for my house telephone. TT assured me that one would be expedited - it took 5 days to arrive, during which, we had no home telephone connection.
After two days of good Internet, and telephone operation, our telephone connection
developed a fault - we could neither make nor receive calls.
Throught December 23, I spent numerous (unsuccess) frustrating hours on online text chat, and telephone conversations, with different TT support staff members, with promises to log the ongoing fault for further investigation. I was promised follow up calls, from Managers, and a new router - none of which ever materialised.
The TT staff I interfaced with were polite and friendly - but, incompetent. Because when I finally connected to someone who knew what they were doing, the problem was fixed within minutes.
Bottom line is - we were without a telephone for much of December 23.
I have been a Talk talk customer for several years - but, this experience has left me totally disenchanted with them.

I've been with TalkTalk far too long. A submitted a Trustpilot Review last year speaking of their abject failures at Customer Service and their promises that they simply don't keep. Try to resign and they give you a 'Credit' and a new contract that merely locks you into them again. I copied and paste my complaints from last year and TalkTalk copied and pasted their same derisory reply.
Stinking, odious Company.

"Please avoid the same mistake I made with Talktalk. They can ruin your experience. After the contract ends, when you leave Talktalk, they might generate a small invoice under the admin heading. If you attempt to pay online, they might block the payment completion. Eventually, they'll involve a recovery company and report to the credit record agency (equifax.co.uk).
I completely terminated my association with Talktalk on May 7th. I ensured that everything was in order and specifically inquired if any further actions were required. They assured me that everything was settled, and I was disconnected. However, just two days later, they generated a minor invoice for an admin fee of £8.72. I tried to pay it promptly due to its small amount but was unable to proceed as they had already partially blocked my Talktalk account.
Subsequently, they engaged a recovery company, and I received a letter. I immediately settled the payment of £25. Despite this, Talktalk reported this incident to the credit records, severely impacting my mortgage application process. I've made numerous calls to Talktalk, but their unhelpful and unfriendly demeanor persists.
While I subscribed to Talktalk for broadband services, I never received the promised broadband speed that I paid for.
In my opinion, Talktalk's business practices lack ethical standards. I strongly urge the financial ombudsman to investigate Talktalk's services to prevent others from becoming victims like myself."

Avoid this company at all costs. I have specifically made an account just to write this review in the hopes people will avoid this company. Our account is in my partner’s name but I have been dealing with the ongoing issues we have been having with TalkTalk.
To start this review off, I had booked Monday 27th November off work to be around for a CityFibre engineer that was booked in to change our line to fibre in the AM slot of the day (8:00-13:00) which we had been informed about by a TalkTalk letter and several emails and texts. On Monday at 14:00, after waiting around all morning for a no show engineer, I decided contact TalkTalk about this and to see where the engineer was via chat. As I go to do this, and out of interest, I check our broadband speeds through the TalkTalk account as our internet as been slow. I then find out that our speeds are at 8Mbps rather than the guaranteed speeds we are paying for of 29Mbps. So I now had two issues to resolve with them over chat. After nearly 2 hours of back and fourth I get confirmation of:
1. There is a fault with our external line outside of our home which is causing this issues with our broadband speeds but not to worry, they will get an Openreach engineer out to fix this first thing the next day AM slot again (Tuesday 28th November 8:00-13:00)
2. They are really sorry but the engineer just won’t be turning up today due to more work being required before they can install. When I queried when and how this had been communicated to us so that I didn’t have to book a day off, all I got was that they were sorry this wasn’t communicated to us and that CityFibre will be in touch by end of day 4th December to rearrange the appointment
So now we get to Tuesday 28th November where my partner has stayed home for the Openreach engineer that will be showing up to fix our faulty external line. Unfortunately, yet again, no engineer turns up. Back onto the chat I go to query this again. After another painful hour of back and fourth I then get informed that the booking was not successful. So again, I query who communicated this to us so that we didn’t have to wait around at home for yet another no show engineer. Yet again, all I got was empty apologies for the lack of communication. They then very kindly rebooked this engineer visit for today, Thursday 30th November AM slot 8:00-13:00. I go online this morning to confirm it is all booked in okay as since this was booked and confirmed as booked in the chat, we haven’t had any confirmation of the visit. Again, after a relatively quick 30 min chat, I am assured the engineer is booked. I decided to contact Openreach directly just to see if they have an appointment booked for today at my address, to my surprise, no appointment had been booked. And so, for the fourth time this week, I go back onto the chat with TalkTalk (with each chat transcript being emailed to my partner so we have an official log of all of this) only to have them give me empty apologies for lying to me after yet another hour of slow back and fourth.
I have now tried to raise an official complaint and to be truthful, I don’t think it has actually been logged. I am also now currently waiting on a call back from a manager within 24 to 48 hours time… This is if they even bother to ring me! But trust me, if they ring or if they don’t, this review will be updated either way.
So, we are currently running on a broadband that is not running on the speeds we are paying for, and we are waiting for some elusive engineers to turn up and fix the line TalkTalk have admitted themselves is faulty and install our new fibre line.
All in all disgusting service but at least they are consistent in lying and wasting my time. I have informed them that in the meantime, while I wait for a call back from this manager, I will be scouring through Ofcom and our contract with them to see what our options are with paying for a service and a “guaranteed speed” that TalkTalk are currently aware they are not fulfilling and have made no attempt to fix.
This is our first time with TalkTalk and without a doubt, it will be our last.. Don’t make the same mistake we did by choosing this company.
