TalkTalk.co.uk

Advantages: It's FREE and works well
Disadvantages: Took a little while to establish a reliable service

After being with a rather slow (512K) and relatively expensive (£15.99) but very reliable broadband provider I decided that I would finally get round to changing to a better deal. I spent some weeks making the final decision as there are so many offers going round and quite frankly I am a busy person. I soon realised that the only really good deal that gives you long-term value was TalkTalk. They also require you to switch to them as your telecoms ...
...but with free international calls to a good range of countries also very kindly included, should you wish to phone anyone abroad. I think free of charge counts as extreme value for money, but only as long as the service is reliable, as you are better off paying for something decent than getting rubbish free of charge. The trouble is, there seemed to be a plethora of very negative reviews about TalkTalk, but a lot of them seemed to involve minor technical ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Bad service, poor customer service

TalkTalk - cheap, poor quality of service, many mistakes made by managers, awful customer service. TalkTalk is one of the first companies I have had the misfortune of dealing with. I first went with them about 4 years ago as they were cheaper than the competition, and I soon realised why as I had nothing but problems for about 3 months. I was on the phone to their Customer Service on a near daily basis trying to get the problems fixed, but despite ...
...solve the problems, and continued to charge me for the 'service'. Once my complaint was finally passed to managers the fault was soon rectified, and I got refunded for the time that I was without a phone and internet. Soon after I moved, and contacted the same manager about 5 weeks in advance to let them know I was moving and was assured that everything would be set up for the day I moved. Until this date, I assumed that everything was going to ... Read review

Advantages: nothing to mention
Disadvantages: long waiting with no results

I find this a good opportunity to warn people about talk talk and should be very honest about the my the worst experience in my life. I was first with tesco dial up and as every one know it was very slow connection and for the bt it is very expensive so i looked around for a better dial. Talk talk was one who promised a very good deal in phones and broad band, i found the free 0800 number and i thought yes something free it is a good beginning. ...
...there were very friendly and worm people kept chatting to me a bout every thing and very polite in the first phone call the Lady organized every thing for me and also offered a one month trial free of charge and guess what complementary FREE MODEM as a thank you! well that what i thought i did not know it is as a trap! This is was on the 12th of April and she promised that the service will be installed on the 24th which was quite excellent as most ... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper, Free Broadband Internet

You've heard it ''we got to get together sooner or later...'' - don't be fooled by it although don't be put off it's a good offer and you do at the end of the day make a saving. The popularity, the offer itself and the company that is behind the service will be enough for you to want to find out more about it. What is the offer?

...for call charges are not included.

Advantages: Easy installation and good customer services
Disadvantages: initial problem with transfering the phone service at the same time

Had TalkTalk for about a year now, and been pretty pleased overall. When i signed up it was on a 1 year contract for a price of £14.99 a month with off peak landline calls included free for a year (i just had to pay line rental of £10.50 a month). The connection and equipment were free. I initially had a problem getting online ,so i had to phone customer services, they answered the phone quickly, and when i told them i could'nt connect my broadband ...
...my P.C. Once i bought and installed new virus software i was up and running without any hassle. Full marks to customer services! I signed up for the 1Meg service, and have found the connection fast most of the time, although i mostly do surfing and sometimes online gaming, so it might not be as quick if you download large files which i don't do much. The only problem i had was transferring my phone line to TalkTalk, but as it happens it was BT's ... Read review

Advantages: A great website, so much to see and do
Disadvantages: sometimes a bit hard to navigate

...Ok, I know I'm supposed to be talking about shopping on disney.com but when you talk about disneys site you have to talk about it as a whole. Let's talk shopping! The disney.com store is so much better than the .co.uk version, there is much more to see and buy. There is one slight problem though, if you do buy from them, they're in america so the shipping is astronomical! plus if you buy electronics you aren't always gonna be able to buy an adapter. That aside, it's easy to find the items your after, plus a few more. They have everything from bedroom to bathroom, plus as many soft toys as you could wish for!! I have to admit my favourite toy is the talking stitch teddy from "Lilo & Stitch" the movie, fantastic. You have a set amount of phrases to say to him and he replies. If you say "I love you" he says sweet things back to you... Read review
