I see Stephen Fell asking what issues are being experienced. Its a pity that he writes from the comfort and protection of this internet site rather than talking properly to customers. I tried to reach him through the members forum but no success and have better things to do with my life than battle with all this.
I signed up with talktalk seduced by the promise of free (or more truthfully, included) overseas calls. But even now that my probelms with the internet connection seems to be improved, the telephone line quality remains very poor. So much so that i usually have to give up and redial through the skype-out system.
I am still very disapointed with talktalk. Cost is not the only issue. It needs to work as well! This service may be low cost - but it is also VERY second rate.
