Their cheap starting rates are the only thing this company have going for them - I feel sorry for the customer service staff who have to deal with the nightmare of a service system TalkTalk provides. I was on a 12 month fixed contract (during which time we had a bout of unexplained broadband drop-outs) which I attempted to cancel prior to being 'upgraded' to a more expensive contract. Apparently this was impossible and they wished to charge me for the next months bill at a higher rate due to their 30 day cancellation period policy. Though I had not been using the broadband and the router was disconnected for the full month, I received warning emails telling me I had to pay the bill otherwise a late fee would be added. I then enquired about the bill asking that i would be reimbursed in full. This was confirmed to me, however a fee for the time during the month I wished to already be disconnected was incurred. After an hour on the phone trying to state my case I was still not given my full reimbursement - just zapping more of my money through the phone. Angry and disappointed at the service that doesn't make clear their cancellation policies and doesn't provide any compensation for such. I will not be using their services again and will be advising my family and friends likewise.
