Kevin, I wasn't going to comment on this one till I read your email. A
friend of mine had a cold call from them a couple of months ago, trying to
persuade her to transfer from BT to them. She said she was interested but
that she'd want all the materials in braille before she'd transfer. The
person on the phone told her that there would be no transfer until she
contacted them and that in the meantime they would send her all the info
she wanted in braille.
She never got any information and worse still they transfered her without
her knowledge or permission and now insist that she has to pay them three
months line rental. It took two weeks to get her phone off Talk Talk and
back to BT.
My advice don't touch them with a very long barge pole.

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.

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.
