    I have a problem with slow download speeds (0.3 Mb/s) and my landline is not working at all. Following the diagnostics on their customer website I am always directed to the solution - ring talktalk for free on your talktalk landline - this is useless if it is not working!!
    The problem has been noted by talktalk but nothing is happening to rectify the problem and trying to get help from online chat is a waste of time as the agents are always busy helping other customers - there must be a whole load of customers with serious problems.
    I expect there to be some problems at times with any internet connection but the way to judge a company is in the way they respond to the problems and the effort they put into resolving them - so far there has been no attempt by talktalk to fix this issue.
    Luckily, a contract is a two way thing and yes, I have to pay, that is my side of the contract, but they have to provide the service for which I am paying - that is their side of the contract. As they are not providing the service they cannot demand payment and when I cancel my agreement they cannot impose penalties.

    Been with TT for over 5 years. Never any problems until yesterday. Modem showing unable to connect to broadband. Went through the usual tests with no luck. Phoned TT suport and was talked through diagnostics. They could see I had a problem but no solution. Engineer visit scheduled next day. Engineer arrived, as scheduled, replaced router and everything worked. Even better, sync speed is the same but download speed has improved from 1.8Mb/s to 2.0Mb/s. Very good service from TT.

    Terrible service, can't wait to get away from Talk Talk.
    We lost services on more than one occasion because we used the phone above their monthly limit - not one set by us. We were on direct debit but they would block all services and they weren't automatically returned.
    Contacting them is torture. Multi-level menus, then when you finally speak to someone they sell and block you cancelling at every point.

    A terrible awful service. Have had no internet for 48 h. Had to Chase for progress (none) guy on the phone following a script rather than helpful. No idea if/when anyone is addressing issue. Losing money as depend on internet access . Need ro investigate another provider.

    Broken promisses: initially TalkTalk connection did not work, so I wanted to cancel by excercising my 14 days sstaturory rihgt. They said they would send an engineer free of charge.

    Engineer discovered no fault at my side, and TalkTalk resolved the issue somehow at their end. I was charged £50 anyway, so in effect they lied to me twice: first they promissed not to charge me the £50 even if a fault is discovered at my end, second their policy is not to charge if no fault at the customer end is found.

    I've been with TalkTalk for 2 years, now I am quitting and going back to BT, the main reason being that there is no internet connecton ca 30% of the time, and this is a bit too much.

    My advice: steer clear.
