“Customer service is the worse than any other customer service ever ! I finally got my contract cancelled today after 2 hrs worth of being moved around. They said " sorry they are busy " wonder why ? I received a phone call from customer service saying I had to upgrade to fibre or my equipment would be obsolete in a couple of months. They booked an appointment with a engineer without my consent. I was at work. Rude messages from the engineer. Made another appointment for the 26th September, an email was went confirming this. I had to take off work a full day. Lost alot of money and they didn't even turn up. Spoke to the manager today he said my equipment would work up until 2027. Basically I had a day off work for something I didn't want or need ! Disgusting !”

“Absolutely no issues until I had a technical problem and needed a new router. After 2 weeks, 15 attempts trying their customer service. Another 2 attempts to speak with management I'm getting no where. They loose my orders, or say they've never put one through. They make me run the same tests every time I contact online or via phone with the same results they somehow don't record. The only way it seems they will actually send me a new router is for me to renew my contract for another 24 months! It's by far the worst customer service I've ever had. I'm a technical advisor by trade so in a good position to know what I'm dealing with too. I'm still waiting for a router. And have tried and tried. I won't give up calling them every day. As I want it known how bad they are.”

“Absolutely god awful! Their customer service is horrendous and disgusting! At first, the issue with my connection was Openreach removing my golden NAD key and giving it to a neighbour in a duplicate address mix up. TALKTALK had no clue how to deal with this. The ISP is supposed to contact Openreach on your behalf to solve any issues with their infrastructure instead, they messed around with line checks and even gave me an internal number for Openreach that got me shouted at by an Openreach employee stating they shouldn't have done that and they only deal with companies and ISPs. A lady in Talktalk advised me to cancel my service and reorder to fix the issue. This failed due to the guy cancelling my service not cancelling properly. He just disconnected the service and left the unusable account live so I couldn't use my details to open a new order. Twice a reorder came to the same error and no one was helpful. On hold for hours at a time and their Live Chat people are mostly rude and disgusting. Round and round in circles claiming their systems can't do this or that and they transfer you to other departments which takes forever. Sent to wrong departments and 2 formal complaints closed without resolution. The second complaint was closed without them even contacting me at all! This company is atrocious and should actually be banned from being a consumer service. Their agents are very rude, incompetent and inept. I wouldn't trust them to proof read the alphabet, nevermind help with issues and faults as a communications provider. They are useless. I finally found a way to contact Openreach myself and get my gold NAD key back so I can have an FTTP service with BT instead. TALKTALK will not help you with anything. They will just make you go round and round jn circles, hang up on you and claim to phone you back when they don't. Never again. You're all useless. I fear a Live Chat supervisor, Edward, lied to me and my month's bill will not be delivered by cheque to me. I think they've stolen it. They promised compensation but I never got any. Unacceptable.”

“We have made upgrade to our broadband all was agreed, instalation date was set. After couple of weeks received text msg from TalkTalk. Unfortunately we need to cancel your order as is not available to your address. We have asked so many times, is that service will be available to our address, we was told YES. So much disappointed with this company. To contact real person is no chance. We was told member of staff will call you back in 5min. No one call us back. So, our upgrade date going to the end and zero support from this company.”

“Talk Talk wanted to book.me I for a free fibre upgrade. We finally agreed on a date where someone could be in as I work. I get a message on another date saying they were coming. I messges back and said I was at work and it wasn't the date that was agreed. I then got a Ryde phone call from the fitter arguing the point and so I send a screen shot of my agreed date. On the day, no one arrived to fit the fibre which I had taken a full day of work for. Just tried to cancel my contract via phone and the automated message was they had shut this line down due to illness ! I just want to cancel now, worse company I've ever had !”

“Absolutely disgraceful company!! I had no service with them for my broadband, they told me the router was faulty even though it had been working 2 years prior. Tried to close my account, they didn't do it although they said they had, then when they finally did it I was told I didn't have to pay anything because of the mad service, but then they charged me two months service as they said my account was still live (although I was told it wasn't) and they passed the so called "debt" onto a debt collection agency which has negatively impacted my credit score! Avoid company at all costs!”

“This is the worst company I have ever felt with. No matter how often I have called they never sort anything out and just read from a script as to why they can’t. I trued to cancel my service in August and now on the 22 October I still haven’t had the refund due to me because of the direct debit not being stopped. Every other service gas ,electric , water and council tax sorted with full refunds with days. Talktalk just refuse to give me a refund and just blame me for their inability to transfer the service.”

“Rubish help. home phone not working phone help went on & on & on asking me questions I couldn't answer so gave up as they refused to help unless I did answer. On line help made me open an account but the form was off the bottom of screen with NO scroll so I couldn't do that. Finally got to chat who said sorry I can't help. Years ago TT had an engineer here within half an hour with just a phone call, yes real person! No Idea what to do - county court to sue for breach of contract? Gone VERY downhill.”

“There are press releases saying TalkTalk have a cheap rate for people on benefits - WHICH IS NOT TRUE .... I phone them each year near my contract renewal date regarding deals like this and they say it’s only advance notices of future offers...what - EVERYTIME? Their Indian call centre gave me the UK DWP phone number (not in use) to request a “voucher” for benefit broadband applications but DWP know nothing about this. The call handlers at TalkTalk put you onto ‘helpful ‘ contact numbers who, in turn, pass you on to another department - help, I need counselling....!”

“The worst company i have ever dealt with in my life. After being on hold for 30 minutes, i was told to contact the cancellation department myself due to "new regulations". I was then given the BT number, and the lady over the phone laughed at what a shambled talk talk are. Honestly embarrassing.”

“I am having terrible problems with this company. I am going round and round in circles trying to sort my problem out. I an get free legal advise from my union. I contacted talktalk to ask for a contact telephone number for their legal department and they claim that they havnt got one! My next step is to cancel my monthly direct debit and change provider. If they try to get money out of me for leaving my contract early then just watch this space!”

“Where to start. Provided less broadband speed than we were paying for. Took numerous phone calls to try and cancel our broadband with Talk Talk. They kept either hanging up, or outright ignoring me when I said I was calling to cancel. Our contract has ended and now they are asking for additional payment when we owe them nothing. Tried calling them twice this morning, both times they have hanged up, and our account number has been deleted. Also, foreign call centres where communication is outright painful. Avoid this company entirely! Incompetent.”

“What a shambles. One fiasco after another. At àà 6 times I have phoned to cancel their service to no avail. Hours spent on the phone to their call centre. No joy there either, I am still being billed and now being charged PENALTIES because I cancelled my debit order Horrendous. Unprofessional. Disorganised. Infuriating beyond belief.”
