I suspect he's rather busy, but last year I emailed him after a complete balls up with my mobile account. He phoned me and apologised profusely and promised ' to kick a$$'. The matter was resolved within a few days.

the offer is you have to join up to their talk 3 plan, this then stipulates broadband free, phone package £9.99, then £11 for line rental which in total is £20.99 + £29.99 connection fee. but what they dont say is that if they have not got their software in the bt exchange near you, you have to pay £10 extra per month until they reach a quota of people signed up in that area before you can have it free, you dont get told this until you sign up, SO MUCH FOR NEVER PAY FOR BROADBAND AGAIN as they have printed on their fliers

For a start it's not software, but equipment to which you are presumably referring i.e. LLU (Local Loop Unbundling).

Otherwise you will get the fastest speed available until TT installs its own LLU equipment - at least 70 per cent of telephone subscribers are OK.

The £20.99 bundle, which includes free anytime UK and international calls (to 28 countries) plus line rental is a staggering offer on its own, but with BB included it's almost unbeatable.

Perhaps the only way it could be by other ISPs is by dropping the free international calls section.

At present I'm paying £27 for 1MB unlimited BB and BT line rental, plus phone calls through a third party - it's not hard to work out the potential savings...:-)

am thinking of switching to talktalk for my isp. anybody had any experience with them thus far, good or bad (i do realise they have only been live for a short time). is the 40G per month download limit they impose 'satisfactory'. I don't download files from the web etc. i just browse the internet. so would 40G be sufficient for my needs? it does seem quite generous to me. would appreciate other people's thoughts. thanks all

The ASA have ruled that Talk Talks Phone Ads are misleading.

---

BT has struck a blow against fierce rival Carphone Warehouse after the advertising watchdog ruled that an ad plugging its TalkTalk phone service was misleading.

See this article:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/26/carphone_asa/

That still leaves the Free? Broadband ads to be resolved.

"Today's ruling will come as a blow to Carphone which is using a similar approach to flog its new "free broadband forever" service. Following more than 40 complaints from members of the public, and just two from industry rivals (BT and Tiscali), these ads are now also under ASA investigation."

I have been using talk talk for the telephone for over a year now and then went onto using Broadband with them. Since before November last year I have been trying to get onto their line rental too but they keep coming up with excuse after excuse. Now they are advertising free Broadband with phone line and line rental as a package, their customer service is pants, I emailed them last week about this package to new customers and asked about our line rental with them and still have had no reply. My daughter who has everything with talk talk is very dissappointed with them and is talking about changing all the lot to another line rental and ISP provide etc.

I am with Blueyonder and I think I could get a cheaper deal, but TalkTalk simply tell me that they cannot switch me, presumably because I am on cable, not BT. is there any way I can move to TalkTalk?

I would have a read at the TalkTalk Board on ADSLGuide and look at the posts there.

As you are not looking for P2P or any nig downloading it might be a good deal. But you still have the 18 month contract and the bad customer service through an expensive phone number to think about.

Need to know which site offers £40 cashback when you join talk talk. Cheers!
