they've already under estimated the take up! so doesn't bode well for the future stability. apparently take up was 5 times greater than they'd planned for. there's an article about it on www.adslguide.orgg and as for an 18 month contract! they can go jump in the nearest river. we had the original talktalk phone service briefly last year and i wouldn't touch them with a barge pole unless i had concrete evidence their customer services so far as disabled persons goes has improved out of sight! no punn intended! smile.
