“Been with TalkTalk for a few years now and hardly have had any problems. If i do, it's usually minor and is sorted out by the very helpful assistants on the live chat service online. Use all of the features provided (Homesafe, Virus Alerts, Supersafe) and find that the service is very good value for money!”

“I can not believe this company scamming their customer like they actually do, especially in a country like UK ! I ve been a customer for few years. What they basically used to do is get a customer , offer him slightly better price than other suppliers and make him sign 18 month contract. Mind you lower price (for example £17 for a broadband) will just 12 months ,, after that price increasing to £29. So you call them to ask whats going on - they say discount now ended, but they can offer a new deal £19 with new 18 months contract. So you sign it again. Year after year, as you dont want "over pay" . But I had enough of they poor internet connection and decided to run them 6 months out by paying £29 for broadband and change my supplier. Got reminder set 1 month before my contract ends as expecting 1 month leaving notice will be required. After spending 30 min on the chat trying to sell me a new deal, I at last been confirmed 1 month leaving note is in place. I ve been offered to keep my number though and let new supplier know about it. I though okay - I only keep the actual same old number but not the line. 1 month later, I have new internet provider which doesnt even require telephone line - no news no final bill from talk talk. Contact them again , surprise ! They still providing me their service as I said I ll keep my number. So after arguing and providing them with evidence ( I keep all my caht copies) I ve been told I ll need to stay with them for another 1 month then they disconnect me. At the end of that month, surprise again ! I ve been charged now £39 , this time I was explained I m on rolling month contract now and another discount ended. 4 days left before I will be disconnected (thats what they said) . I really hope it will be the end now. This was the worst experience in my life dealing with service provider. Never ever again, Talk Talk is a swear word for the rest of my life. Will keep you updated if there will be some more surprises.”

“A shocking company - PLEASE AVOID. I never received any internet or phone line. I cancelled within the 20 day cooling off period. Yet they are still trying to Bill me even though I have received previous letters showing 0 balance. Now they are saying the 20 days is from when I first ordered online - rubbish. The customer service is actually the worst I have ever received. Currently I have spent 6 hours on live chat over 4 nights to to sort an engineer and cancelling. When I rang up they said I have no account lol. The engineers only rang me 2/3 days later after I cancelled. Luckily I have records of all the conversations as they have tried so hard to charge me different monies for a service I had never received and different dates to try and go passed the 20 days cooling. DO NOT TRUST.”

“Tried to move my account to my new home through an infuriating phone call in which the customer service guy on the other end of the line was slow and obscure in answer to all of my questions. 2 days later I received a text message telling me they were sorry I cancelled my new order. I called to tell them I hadnt cancelled it, after being on hold for 20 minutes was told it was cancelled due to a 'technical error' and that i would have to set up a WHOLE NEW ACCOUNT. This took 40 minutes and was so ridiculously unnecessary, and the person handling the setting up of the new account simply laughed at me when I got frustrated. Absolutely shocking customer service, wishing I had cancelled, sucked up the cancellation fee and gone elsewhere. NO NOT RECOMMEND.”

“I really don't know where to begin but suffice to say there is absolutely no way I could recommend Talk Talk to anyone. Their Online Chat service is OK but the support that these poor operators get from their colleagues is appalling. I have today written a recorded delivery letter to their managing director detailing my concerns which mainly come down to poor broadband speeds( far less(less than 50%) than promised in the contract) and complete failure to contact me at pre arranged times as promised. Really not good enough but if I don't get this sorted OFcom and the Ombudsman wil almost certainly be involved.”

“I hardly use my landline phone, last friday 6/10/17 I used it to order a product which necessitated confirmation on my landline. The company tried phoned on my usual number but could not get in touch with me. I made some checks , and discovered to my HORROR that t-t gave my number to somebody else and created a new number for me. I did not ask for it/ never gave my permission/ never consented it. Tried to contact them but they are playing pass the buck game with me. I'm trying to leave them but they are still playing games. Besides I suffered over a year with phone calls from Indian scammers trying to con me. Talk-talk is the worse company to join, once you're in your goose is cooked.”

“DISGUSTING COMPANY I am on Talk Talk's basic broadband and phone package. When I first phoned them to find out how much the monthly costs were, their indian sales staff lied by giving me a much lower quote than the actual broadband costs. I signed up, thinking I was getting a bargain. When I found out a month later that the bills were higher than the figures they quoted, I phoned them but was basically told it was tough luck and fobbed off. The broadband has been generally slow - almost unfit for purpose. Some days nearly non-existant. On the best days, it can just about play HD video, but buffers a lot. Websites take ages to refresh and there is a general inconsistency in the speed from day to day. Extremely poor, overall. Last month they charged me premium rates for calls which should be charged at UK standard landline rate - without informing me. This drove up my landline bill considerably, taking it into arrears. They ended up cutting off my phone so I could not make outgoing calls. This, in turn put my account in considerable arrears and a couple of weeks later they cut off my broadband and demanded I pay my arrears in full before reconnecting me. This company is disgusting. Nothing they say can be trusted. No doubt all their customers feel the same way and are jumping ship. So Talk Talk are obviously clawing as much money from their few existing customers as they can... By creating extortionate charges and fleecing customers while they still can before they go bust. I will be cancelling all Talk Talk services as soon as possible. This company has no idea how to conduct business in civilised society. The sooner they die a death, the better for all of us.”

“Had the worst year ever with talk talk. Consistent network failure and evey phone call was either dismissed and advised to call back when it stopped working so they had a better chance to find the problem? The majority of the time the office was closed when my wifi stopped and they rushed me off the phone when I tried to explain this. Or they just completely hung up when they realised my call would take more than a minute. That have still charged me for months of no working wifi so I need to Seek legal advice as they refuse to deal with it. They made it impossible to discuss or solve anything. Some advisors even cutting you off and speaking over you to try and finish the sales script without listening to the actual problem. Which Is managements problem for pushing sales scripts instead of listening to their customers. Do not go near talk talk you waste so much money when your sky or phone etc can't connect to the wifi.”

“Please avoid this company - I transferred my service from these scammers to BT shortly after they mugged me with a price rise 3 months into my 'no price rise' contract. After sending me a 'sorry you're leaving' letter in June, they subsequently decided that they weren't notified of my service transfer (you physically can't transfer broadband without a MAC transfer, so a fairly simple-minded lie) and that I therefore owe them 3 months of payments for the service they no longer supply. 3 months after transferring, I'm now being hounded by their extortionists Moorcroft - No attempt has been made to explain what the extortion demand relates to, so I have to guess they're trying to claim 3 months of subscription payments. Customer service staff are garbage, refuse to communicate or issue a deadlock letter - clearly think that a complaint can't be made to the ombudsman schemes without one, but fortunately not the case. Disgusting people, criminal company - avoid them like the plague”

“Absolutely disgusting customer service, I have logged a complaint regarding slow broadband connection and it took many phonecalls for them to actually send an engineer who replaced the router. I had extremely poor connect for 4 months and they offered me £4 compensation with a £10 Goodwill gesture. Needless to say I have cancelled my contact. Do not use talk talk as they honestly do not have a clue and their customers service skills are truly none existent. Absolutely hopeless , I just can't believe how many hours of my life I have wasted talking to these people and getting absolutely no where !!!”

“My password for my email address was changed, presumably by hackers. Tried to reset it but could only get reset option sent to my old invalid email address. Tried calling Talktalk and after some 5 hours on the phone going round in circles. Was in informed that they had no admin powers to reset my @lineone.net email account, which was taken over by talk talk in 2009 when they bought Tiscali.”

“If it were possible, I would give them zero stars. The quality of the internet service is dire. In the time we've been with them, we've never once hit their guaranteed minimum mbps & their customer service is woefully poor. We have to wait another 6 weeks til we can take it to the ombudsman, at which point we will. Dreadful, don't sign up with them.”

“Customer service was really bad. Called them to know the offers. Instead telling me offers he was asking me why did I call If I already checked it online. What kind of rubbish customer service it is? Frank was the man who answered the phone.”
