Working in IT I can easily say "DON'T DO IT"
I am yet to read a good article regarding Talk Talk (part of carphone warehouse or the other way round).
Had them come to the door a couple of months ago and the buffoon had trouble understanding 'NO' untill the dog apeared. I even explained to him why I would never consider using them, all he could tell me was that i would save money. How can he be so sure when he doesn't know what i pay to who in the first place.
Previous visit from them, explained politely to the salesman i worked in IT and he left straight way after exchanging pleasantries regarding the weather.
Moneypit:
We've had no problems with them, apart from the longish time it took to get our broadband up and running.
The Ant Hill Mob:
Yes, RRB and I have had trouble with them (although it was only during set-up). This was some time in '05, when the offer first came out. They had appaently set us up, but there's some sort of dongle they plug in at the exchange, and this had promptly gone 'pfzzt', and burnt-out. Then had several phone calls to them (they pass you from dept to dept for 30 mins and then cut you off, after charging a small fortune for the privelige). They said it was a BT problem and BT said it was a Talk-talk problem. Got it sorted out after threatening legal action for being sold a service that wasn't being provided.
(Anyone who knows me, will tell you what effect my 'headmistress's voice' has on people).
So if you have no problems being set up, then you'll be fine. The setup was the only rubbish part, the rest is quite good. Although we're in the styx, we only get a dribblly 1 meg or less connection speed.
Still, it's better than dial-up!
Sider:
I was with them from October '06. Everything was fine until November. First the telephone line stopped working, or did it randomly. About a week later, we started to get enormous package loses, and another week later, random downtimes on the service. After month and a half of arguing with them, we bailed out, switched to NTL and ever since. They are cheap, but their service is rubbish.
