    talktalk gets throttled during the day, so you download really slow

    I've been with talk talk for about a month now. I sometimes have problems connecting, but these are usually shortlived.

    I've been with talk talk for nearly a year, interms of reliability of connection the service is fine. But if you download a fair bit then they block ports and at peak times you cannnot download at all. And recently they have put a halt on downloading all together and for this reason i'm looking to join a different isp.

    I have been with them for over a year. I don't do P2P downloading so can't comment on that part. They have been well over the year. Am usually on in the afternoon and evening, use for browsing and email and its ok.

    I agree with ShallowStu. This maybe because of maintenance or whatever but its not long before i can get back on. The connection is reliable too.

    With regards to the problems of said ISP, on other fourms its possible that you might not experience it when you are with them. Just like with any organisation you may sometimes experience bad luck whereas others don't.

    Don't forget to Quidco it when signing up for TT BB for £20 bonus.

    I've been on Talk Talk broadband for over a year and apart from the odd, very short lived connection problem (especially recently) they have been fine.

    I have just started looking to see if I can get a better deal (I'm on 512kbps for £14.99) and have since heard a lot of bad things about them. I have not experienced these problems, but then I only use the computer in the evening.
