Kevin, that's one of the issues that would concern me. At least with BT, I know that if I have some sort of difficulty, the services are in place to address it. A friend who was on NTL and needed the phone for lifeline purposes was summarily cut off by NTL when she couldn't get to the post office on time to pay her bill. That was a wake-up call and I started to appreciate the phone service I'd got, expensive though it is. I'd worry about Talktalk's service for the same reason. My wife needs to be able to summon help in emergenceis, and I wouldn't like to risk a duff phone service. the cheerful but not cheap Vince. ----- Original Message ----- From: kevin and emma To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 3:31 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talk Talk Offer 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.

There is likely to be a hidden gotcha in there somewhere. Is it really sustainable and will it stand the huge rush of potential customers joining.the service at once assuming they are in the 75 percent of the country where it can be had. Regards.
