I'm not one to sling mud about a national company in public but these cowboys are just doing my bloody head in.....:angry:

 

I had previously been subscribed to Tiscali's broadband service for years and never had any problems with the service. But ever since Tiscali and TalkTalk merged, my internet connection has gotten progressively slower. And slower. And slower.:angry::angry:

 

So much so that viewing a simple YouTube video (or trying to) makes me want to put my fist through the screen. It's painful - each frame ticks by, stopping every 2 seconds to buffer. And even then, if I dare try to open a web page in another tab at the same time, it just cannot cope. And I end up with "oops internet explorer could not....." well you know the rest.:cursing:

 

Hell, I have a new PC which is 3 times as fast and double the memory of the old one. My router is only a year old. Now, don't get me wrong - sometimes it works fine - but try to surf the 'net when there might be 3 or more people logging onto TalkTalk at the same time (like 6pm Mon-Fri) and forget it.

 

So TalkTalk - if you oversubscribe, you simply cannot service all the customers to whom you provide a service..... Sort it you XXXXXrs or I'm off. And don't even bother calling me to try and sell your 'phone package - I'M NOT INTERESTED FFS!!!

 

Can anyone recommend a decent internet service provider - I'll switch right away for one that works when I might want to view 3 pages at once!!!!!

 

Rant over

 

Richard:pinch:

I have an update of just how crap TalkTalk is....

 

....I have just rung their 0800 number, only to be told that "the offices are closed - our opening hours are 8am to 10pm Monday to Thursday....."

 

WFT - it's Tuesday, 8.20pm - that means you should be open FFS. Useless - f'ing useless......:cursing:

 

Time for a change I think:sneaky2:

Richard, I have been with Virgin Media before we moved house and all was fine there, decent d/l speed and actually good customer service (I am not lying!) :)

 

Now we have Sky as Virgin Media is not available where we live now and that also is pretty good, no complaints so far anyway.

Thanks for the tip Rich....

Not likely mate - I'll get TT to cough up for it.....

 

.....and I'm just about sick and tired of the continous loop of exerpts from Bros, Bonnie Tyler, Pondlife, JLS etc. It's not even the complete songs, it's a 10 second "preview" of the same 6 tracks over and over and over....

 

.....You get the message:wacko:

 

Mental! Bloody hell, I've got the Nolans now!!!
