Chnage of ISP
Hi all hoping that I might be able to get a quick answer here before I blow my top at my old ISP. :mad: Situation was that we were with Pipex for home phone and broadband. All working well but as a matter of course I was doing my Money Saving bit and found that Talk Talk were better for us now. Back in April I contacted…

TALKTALK - Have they got better? Anyone happy with them
Ok, I keep getting stuff in the door about talktalk broadband and phone.It's so damn cheap. Obviously I've heard all the bad reports about customer service etc but recently I've noticed less negative on the web about them. Have they got better? Should I risk it?

AOL Broadband dirty tricks
We have recently contracted to change from BT to aol. The router is sent five days after activation. In another industry who would accept 5+2 days of charge before reasonable ability to connect and thus service supplied. This can almost be called fraud and theft. Banks had similar slick practices with charges and are now…

What are my options?
I've currently moved in to a temporary flat until I hopefully buy a house. I was previously with Virgin Media and I was quite happy with them but this new place doesn't have cable so this is not an option. I want to have a good connection speed as I download quite a lot ;) and I also use my connection for work. My option…

Head melting over media options
This has my head caving in; I currently get Sky tv and have a business phone-line not owned by me (therefore cannot add any 'bundle' offers to it) but want to get broadband. It wouldn't be a big deal if we had to take a phone line in order to get the best deal. Heres the thing; would it be best to install a BT line and do…

Thinking of moving from BT to Virgin - Am I mad?
Totally fed up with BT Broadband - used to be OK but now totally unusable in the evenings. Fastest I've ever had is 3mb (at 3 in the morning) I normally get 0.5mb. As the house it wired up for Virgin I was thinking of switching to them and getting broadband by cable. This must make it faster - won't it? I've been reading…

XBox Live + Talktalk = Headache
Hi, I've been trying to get connected to Xbox Live over the past month but apparently I have a strict NAT therefore I can't play my friends on line. When I phone up Talk Talk they are quite happy to wash their hands of my problem and tell me they don't support XBox access. Has any one else had this problem and can they…

Everyone who has a problem trying to get in touch with Pipex for various account discrepancies should email Carphone Warehouse with their grievance so that they can see what a mess they will be taking on when and if they buy them over!! Maybe then we will be taken seriously by Pipex and actually get somewhere. Power to the…

New BT line. BT seem to limit my options?
Hi, I'm trying to find the best deal for my elderly mother to get broadband. She recently moved into a brand new flat. There was a BT socket but it had never been connected before, so we had to pay BT £125(ish) to have it switched on.

I'm having a brand new line installed thanks to the £30 new customer offer posted on this site, but just wondered is there anything I need to do prior to getting a broadband provider?
