    Possibly. I know BE had their own equipment in there but they were more expensive than TalkTalk, who just offer it out cheap as they can get, I'd be surprised if they had invested a lot of money in their own network.

    Surprisingly though, TalkTalk's business grade stuff is quite excellent, for leased lines and the like.

    BT's Customer Service is utter * as well, as is SKY's.

    In fact a lot of people probably wouldn't be able to have an opinion on BT's as they have fell asleep by the time they have went through the voice recognition/automated system to actually get to speak to someone from India that doesn't understand them.

    Problem with BT is that there is so many different companies under the BT Group heading and they don't know what each other are doing and they all get passed from pillar to post and then you get it outsourced to * India and after 3-4 hours on the phone it * you the * off.

    Depends on what you want....i was looking to cuts costs so went with talktalk and i cant say i have had any problems.
    i pay my phone line in advance and add my internet onto that im paying £12.50 per month for both my internet and phone line.
    Speed is where it should be and not noticed a drop in speed at any time of day.
    Only down side is when you call them its aways some one in india called john.:smiley-laughing002:

    So, I went for Plusnet...:54:

    Was supposed to have no break in Bband service during the switch, One day my Bband cut off and I called them, they had taken over the line and the person who had put my transaction through apparently forgot to put the Bband order through. So I was to be without Bband for a week.
    Its been a week since the call...
    It is supposed to go back on today at some point... problem is the router still hasn't arrived! :31:

    Do you still have your previous router? If you do then use that.
