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.

  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!

    It looks like a "bleeding" contest to see who can stand the longest without 
falling over.  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.
