Good work - avoid TalkTalk like the plague!
Personally, I'd go with Plusnet every time - they may not be perfect,
but at least when something goes wrong, you get a cheery "hello" from
Yorkshire, rather than some irritating disinterested robot thousands
of miles away, not listening or understanding.
Whoever you choose, you MUST review their packages every time you come
to the end of a contract.
For example, you say you are paying £38 a month with BT for
10Gb/month. If you were to start a new 18 month contract now, you
could get a 40Gb download allowance and line rental, and for another
£5.95 you could get unlimited anytime calls for £25 for the first 6
months and £34 a month after that.
Remember that whoever you go with, Anytime calls will save you much
more than just the actual calltime cost of landline and 0845/0870
numbers, you also avoid the ridiculous 13p "setup charge" per call.
Make 5 short calls a day and you've saved 4x the anytime fee in just
the call connection charges per month!
Of course, if you can get BT infinity then you're laughing - and I'm
jealous!

Hello Trace and all,
After digging around on Google, asking on here and on Facebook, I have
cancelled the TalkTalk order.
Not quite sure how I got from saying "I'll think about it' to signing an
order on the doorstep, but these people are sly.
According to OfCom, TalkTalk are consistently the most complained-about
ISP
in the UK year-after-year.
I do need to change though because BT is a rip-off, Ł38 a month and
adownload limit of 10GB a month.
Mo, I'll take a look at O2 and give you a shout if I decide on them so
you
can get the referral fee :)

i wasn't very pleased when his modem or router broke and they wouldn't
replace it as your isp normally provides such things.

Hello list.
I had a TalkTalk rep come to the house today. The deal she was
talking about is almost half the price of my BT account and claims
much better speeds and a download limit which is much, much higher
than BT.
My question to the list is, does anyone on here have any experience
with the reliability of a TalkTalk connection and is the account
management page easy to use?
The cost seems too good to be true compared with BT and it's my bet
they have reliability problems.
Any views would be interesting.
Mike
