    Been with AOL since 1997, has been good service until Talk Talk took AOL over since 2006. Since 2013 the service has become very poor and next month I would be a Talk Talk customer, I had applied for my MAC code and they tried to put me off in trying to get me to sign up to a cheaper deal which I was not interested. Would not recommend Talk Talk as the customer service is poor, also had drop out on the internet on many times which proved to being a fault at their servers.

    Had an appalling time with this company! I cancelled my package within the right time and they confirmed it was cancelled. then they try to charge me for an engineer coming out and demanded I pay! Customer service is also the worst i've ever had to experience. I would never recommend this company to anyone!!

    i have been a talk talk customer for 10 years and used normal broadband for most of that time. a couple of weeks ago i moved over to medium fibre. Wow, what a mistake. the performance seems very bad, 30 mps download, and 1.89 mps upload.
    It really does appear to be about the same as my old broadband. i rang talk talk and spoke to approx 6 people over 2 days and about 2 hrs. they tell me that they meet specification and as such i cannot cancel the contract. if i do the costs will be approx £500. So be very very careful if you intend getting fibre with talk talk. i feel that i am having money taken from me for the next 18months for very little in exchange.

    switched from sky broadband to TalkTalk Fibre. Switchover date was set for today between 8am-12noon
    At 8am this morning i was greeted by a lovely Man from BT. He ask for my phone line socket, plugged something in left for 15 minutes went to the main Telefon Box outside the street, came back and completted the installation (a new socket) less than an hour later i was up and running. did a speedtest and got 40Mb/s as promised (sky Broadband was around 15Mb/s) all spot on NOTHING to complain !

    This is about customer service and the wretched Uview box I returned in July 2014. I have letters from them to prove I returned this box. Still going to charge my account. I have cancelled my account. You can use the Ombudsman to sort out your problems with them. I will if they continue.

    Been AOL customer over 10 years, no real problem. Was never told they became Talk Talk until February 2015 when my broadband stopped. I was being charged £22 per month for just broadband, my phone line is BT. When it all stopped I contacted them and basically spent almost 4 months trying to get it sorted. Talk Talk said it wasn't there fault it was BT line of course BT said no it wasn't.
    I went to Ms Dido Harding CEO by email, she then put her team (her words not mine) on to it. They told me I had a rubbish line and I was paying so much because BT charged Talk Talk so much. I have now walked away and I am going for compensation. I advise anyone to go to CEO direct, it did help me.

    I haven't ticked any ratings because TalkTalk doesn't even warrant 1 star.
    I moved to them 2 years ago, from Virgin, because freeview offered more channels - for nothing. My broadband connection drops out 3 or 4 times a day. Download speed is consistently running around 4mbs. I have contacted them many times and all they say is check if my BT connection has a test socket - it doesn't. I don't download music or games. I only use my internet for web browsing and emails etc. I am so fed up with TT but, because I agreed to have their YouView box, I am tied in until next year.
