TalkTalk waiting list

Hi all,

was wondering for those who have recently signed up to talktalk what the current waiting list is? Moving into a new place, and need broadband ASAP. Obviously TalkTalk are cheapest, but I'm not willing to wait around for too long!

Thanks,
Messiah

    Please, reconsider broadband. Just take a look on here about the feedback of customer service, waiting times and just generally papness.

  • I have been a TalkTalk customer since April. I wish I had never seen that advert for free broadband, it doesn't exist. Go to a site called talktalkhell.co.uk and you will see what I mean. Everything you have heard about them is true. Once I spent 5 hrs on the phone to customer services - on hold. Another day it was 6, and the issue still never got resolved. We are waiting now to be disconnected, it appears that is the only way to get their 'marker' off our line. My advice is to WAlkWalk away from TalkTalk!!
  • No idea what the waiting time is but the disgruntled customers are rarely balanced. I've been with Talk Talk for just over a year now and have always had a good service, once I had an issue, phoned was dealt with courteously and problem solved to my satisfaction within a couple of minutes.

    Mum has recently signed up and has had a trouble free connection (well trouble free from the Talk Talk end - its her old provider that stuffed up!!)
    The best things in life are NOT free - but they sure are cheaper with MSE!:j

    The best thing to do is to find the 'What do you think of TalkTalk' poll - that says a lot.
