well heyman in the moon thank goodness someone else knows what its like and its just a coincidence but i went into my local cpw shop, and the fella promised to come and see if he could help, but he didnt come and phoning was waste of time but my contract says 18 months, but if i cancel im sorry im not paying the 70 pound fee no way ive spent over 50 pounds now on technical helpline but i intend going to bt , because at least with bt if my phone or the line is faulty they come out , no problem but i really cant understand why talktalk can get away with it , because i was told id have broadband always on ,which i did have for quite a few months ,but it was only talktalk who ruined it, i dont know if it is there equipment they use or what, but ive given it two more weeks then im off. by the way how long were you without broadband when you changed over to bt .

Hi i had the same trouble with talk talk ,everything was great with the broadband service ,until they worked on the bt exchange ,and then i had broadband for about two minutes in four months ,i phoned there repair line ,a call centre , the people there could not understand me ,nor could i them ,went into local car phone warehouse shop to ask for help ,got a load of promises , including the manager saying he would come to my house and get it working , he gave me a card with his mobile number on it , he never answered one of my calls , i canceled the contract ,then they said it was for 18 months ,and not 12 ,as it said on my contract , after loads of letters and emails,they agreed it was a 12 month contract ,and now with bt broadband , a bit more money a month ,but at least it comes on

hi there i dont know if you can help me but i really have tried everywhere for help ,ive been with talktalk for a year now and only had a few hiccups at the start, so no complaints, but alas since they unbundled my exchange eveything has gone pear shaped ,disconnections every 5-10 minutes and this has been going on since the 26th of march , had bt engineers said there was a fault on the line or at the exchange then called back to say it had been fixed but it has been no different in fact at times its worse , i really dont know what to do now, as ive spent so much money on phonecalls etc but would be very grateful if you had any ideas on just what could be causing this .
