When I contacted TalkTalk customer support, they do not understand anything about my problem. Unreliable speeds and occasional disconnection problems crop up. I wont recommend TalkTalk to anyone.

Recently joined Talktalk, but qickly relised that this is NOT a very good service, it's no use having cheaper rates if you cannot provide the service. Slow Speeds, poor customer service, HOURS on the phone, problems not solved, advisers who cannot speak english very good. Have now cancelled within 30 day peroid. Very Poor !!
