Alternative To Talktalk

[Iggle Piggle]

I'm after recomendations for broadband/phone supplier as Talktalk are doing my head in with foreign call handlers and poor customer service. Hardly use phone but broadband needs to be fast for work.

Unless you go to a fibre-optic deal you won't get an improvement in line-speed with a different ISP because they all use the same lines, provided by BT Openreach.

On the other hand, the speed should be no worse with any other provider and if the service works well, you should have no reason to contact the call centre. I'm with BT and although its not the cheapest option, I can rely on it.

I use the Post Office - it's reliable and just about the cheapest. You can get details of deals here

My last three suppliers were Sky absolutely abysmal .5mb download dozens of phone calls round in circles then went to BT much better but when I did have a problem I couldn’t understand a word they were saying currently with plusnet and I’ve found them very good and if you have a problem you actually get to talk to someone in this country you can understand

Agree with Noe-schitt. Plusnet are easy to deal with, but anybody, absolutely anybody is better than the ridiculous talky talky one (shudder)!!
