  • Am I the only one who has had good customer service from TT? I have no complaints.

    I seem to be in the minority.

    I am a new customer though so perhaps that is why...

    No, you're not the only one. I had one problem at the start with my router, I lost connection once each day. I telephoned customer support and a lady talked me through fixing the problem and now have a faultless connection and a download speed of 12Mbps even in the early evening, so no complaints from me.
    It's someone else's fault.

    i had a lil issue when i moved to the flat above my old one. my order when i was moving got stuck. they said theyd escalate it and offered me compensation to my bank account to go buy a wireless dongle. if they offer compo without ppl asking i am happy!
    they did also tell me my phone line wasnt connected when i was calling them from it but it must have just been a bit of bad communication between the engineer at BT [who left a card when we missed an appointment but two days later our line was connected]]

    after that its all been fine , like it was in our old flat, got billed for the right days with moving and everything. think they forgot the download + thing but they got it resolved first time,
  • My Router problem was sorted very quickly by clear step-by-step instructions over the phone but from what I read here, I guess I was one of the lucky few.

    However there seems to be no authority that controls TALKTALK PRICE INCREASES. For example from 1st January connection charge went up to 10.9p. That's a MASSIVE ten percent increase when inflation is so low ... anybody out there knows who to complain to about such things?
