just signed up with them and i have to say that the speed of there broadband is wicked! im only adsl but its super fast. twice as fast as my old BT.

random thread to be honest, just saying how much i like talktalk :)
 
Isn't that a Pop Band?
They used to sing "It's my life" I think.

Or maybe it's just "Talk" or "Talk Talk Talk" I don't remember :P

Jamie, watch your language. Stars or no stars, we have young members on this forum.

Talk Talk, whilst seeming a good deal, has become too popular (which its creator has admitted to on camera), and they are struggling to provide adequate customer service infrastructure. To such an extent that it has become the subject of several BBC Watchdog episodes. When it works, it works. When it doesn't, then good luck.
 
sorry for my laungage but it aint exactly a bad influence on the younger members because they cant read it i could just be puttin aloada stars ***** like there or i could b swearing **** like there :S who knows

Go with Virgin Media (NTL). I've been with them for 5 years and they've hardly ever let us down. We have a TV + Phone + Internet package with them that costs us £30/month. It's a great deal - you may want to consider it. However, because it's cable, it doesn't operate in every area.

- Rambo.
 
What ever you decide to do, do NOT go with ADSL Max. Highly unstable technology and very unreliable. I'm on ADSL Max with BT and I have disconnects at least 3 times a day. That's guaranteed. The best choice at the moment most definitely is what Rambo just mentioned, Virgin Media. ADSL providers are decent, however ADSL is going out of fashion now due to the introduction of ADSL Max. Nearly all DSL providers are replacing their packages with ADSL Max now which is a HUGE mistake on their part. Once my contract is up with BT I too plan to move over to Virgin Media.

Zen were, from what I've read and heard by word of mouth, the current best DSL provider, however from what I hear these days they've really gone down hill now with their ADSL Max packages too. They introduced that technology to DSL providers way too soon in my opinion. Cable seems the stable future for Internet access in the UK for the time being.

Breaks.

The reason for a poor connection is the Signal:Noise ratio, if the ratio is too close then the line will break down or be throttled.
 
i'd love to be with Virgin as a friend is and they have super fast net and no disconects from what i hear.

i actaully tried to get it but was unable as you cannot get it in my area! its shame really :(

its alright now but it can be really slow :(
