Utter tosh, moving to Max should not have stopped your service, the things some people are happy to believe from this muppet company.:rolleyes:

Surely, if you try to have too high a speed on a line that will not support it you wil get problems.

If I am wrong then fair enough, but they warned me that I might have connection problems for a few days, I did and then they cleared up. No problems since and i get the line speed they said I would (sometimes even quicker!)

I would get onto TalkTalk and tell them they have 7 days to sort it all out or you will be leaving them. I would also demand a refund as they have yet to uphold their half of the contract and connect you to the net.QUOTE]

You can't just "leave them", it's not as simple as that! There's a contract length with most broadband providers and I'm not just going to cancel the direct debits for obvious reasons. I don't even want their broadband now, I've heard some horror stories about the connection dropping all the time in my area.

Thanks but don't worry, I'm onto it! I won't go into it futher because it's not relevant to the OP but I have them well and truly over a barrel so I'm not too worried anymore.

Word of advice, do NOT go to Tiscali. Been a customer for 4 years, up until Christmas we were happy. Not anymore. In the process of leaving, and what a saga that is.

i have had a few bb suppliers over the yrs the worst one being talk talk (in my humble opinion) i am now with orange and apart from a few hiccups every now and then it seems ok. Before i was paying BT £39.50 a month and wanadoo/orange £14.99 a month i called and told them i wanted to switch to home call i think it was i then got offered orange wireless with free calls to all 01 and 02 numbers plus my bb for £9.99 a month since then ive cut down my bt to just my line rental of £11 a month saving £33.50 a month not bad ill give it a few months then do it again
