TalkTalk can be a bit slow, no suprise there... but I'm wondering if Orange's free broadband is any better..

Has anyone compared these?

Does anyone have Orange and find them fast?


Cheers

    Hi
    Personally ide avoid both i was with Orange and customer service (if you can call it that) is appalling and expensive check the Orangeproblems site and see the ISP ratings and forums at DSL ZoneUK and ADSLguide .
    Good luck in choosing

    Regards

    We have been with orange for 1 month now. Box arrived within a week, setup was immediate, and the connection has been super.

    I tested our address, and we can receive up to 2mb broadband in our location. Orange offer up to this, and so far I am VERY impressed with both the stability of the connection, and the loading speed.

    As we have it for free due to one of us having a contract, it's even better. But if I was a paying customer, I could honestly say that I would be very happy with the charge due to the quality of the service.

    A good recommendation only.:T

    TalkTalk has many threads on this board and also Home Telephones as well.

    Most report of problems with TT and as mentioned above they were on Watchdog as Watchdog have been inundated with thousands of complaints.

    Hi Tony

    Not surprisingly, I am with Utility Warehouse and have had no problems with connection speed - I am currently on 2mg service.
