Talk Talk BB beware!!!

Its cheap, but having been a Talktalk Broadband customer for the past year, let me please warn you about them - I cant wait to get out and stay well away..

They block ALL P2P or filesharing software, so if you use Shareaza/Limewire forget it
They may lie and tell you they dont restrict downloads, but its cleverly worded in their T&Cs
Check https://www.adslguide.org and look at what ppl have been saying about them.
Tech support line costs 50p per min

Do not join Talktalk - you'll regret it.....

    I'd have to say that its made pretty clear, see the other link on this board or any of the advertising in store.

    I think this probably belongs on the vent or warnings board.

    I concur. Don't worry mate - leave the mugs to it, if they don't heed the warnings. It'll just leave the other networks clear and uncongested for us when we migrate away from TT. :rotfl:

    I left TalkTalk for Madasafish after reading several posts on here and I am really regretting it! TalkTalk do make it hard to leave but don't all ISP's. But if your an average user they are OK!
