Excellent landline with free calls 24/7 and a download BB speed of 17 MBPS also free.
You should try haggling instead of knocking. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You`re paying more for line rental than I pay for all my free calls anytime including mobiles and all my unlimited broadband at 17 mbps and my yearly line rental.
Not to mention free for life Noddle credit ref checks.

If your line only supports 51mbps that`s not down to TT but openreach.
Hope for more TT freebies when my yearly contract is up.
I can put up with the phone scamming idiots for free upgrades etc.

Happy days with TT.

1: my line is only capable of between 1.5 and 2 mbps if I go the ADSL route.
2: anyone can sign up for Noddle for FREE , the additional service* that was provided by TT is only for 12 mths


talk talk line rental is £17.70
virgin line rental is £17.99




*the free noddle service , to see if anyone had opened any accounts in your name , is flawed ! the system only picks up on this if the company that have opened the account report to callcredit. most companies use expedian or Equifax , noddle will not see new accounts via those CRAs


hell even TT do,nt use callcredit

yes but you are not comparing like for like


1: you are talking about (upto 17 mbs) ADSL
2: line rental paid up front.

I wanted to checkTT's SIM only mobile offers on Monday as OH's contract ends soon.

No surprise that I had a call in the afternoon. I played along with the guy for a while, telling him I was putting the computer on, making him wait etc.

Of course there was ' a router problem '. He asked me to identify the control button and what was next to it. When he realised I had a Mac he said 'sh*t' and terminated the call.

I was sensible enough to get the number this time and report the scam call. I'm still very unhappy that calls come after accessing the website, though.

I reported a fault on my line two weeks ago. As soon as the fault was fixed I started getting the scam calls. Had about a dozen so far from a variety of numbers. They know my mobile no as well as my landline and that I have had a fault recently. The usual procedure...faulty router, they try to get remote access to my computer and when that fails they try saying I have compensation due and they need my bank details. Ha!!

Have reported it to TT but just get the usual blah di blah di blah.....

I suspect they are mobile Number collecting for there nest stage , I was rung today , usual router problem , however they could not test line with me on it , requested my mobile number
