That's some read - I'll be careful.
If you have problems you should be able to politely request to be transferred to a UK call centre. Most have this option

Cheers - I'm hoping it'll all go smoothly. Just in process of changing from Npower to Ecotricity so hopefully that'll go well too with smart meters etc.

I left them after some number of years as there customer service was abysmal and have now gone completely with Vodafone who at the time were offering a deal, which has finished now , of £5 per month for broadband and landline with unlimited calls. I will see what happens when the deal ends in 2 years.

The most curious thing..
I've got Talk Talk for internet and phone. The internet speed is passable but not very good and it keeps buffering even on non HD videos. Connectivity is ok so long as they don't get hacked again (if they do be prepared to loose all connectivity for at least a fortnight while they sort themselves out, and don't expect any meaningful compensation. Watch for your internet speed slowing down for no accountable reasons, until the web sites all time themselves out. That is highly irritating, and as people have said before Talk Talk's help lines are staffed by people whose first and possibly second and third languages are definitely not English. Be prepared to have to ask them to repeat everything s-l-ow-l-y, and to speak louder. Having said that when-ever I have eventually got through to them, they have (eventually) resolved the problem (whatever it was). It has been rumoured that they give you a fast speed to start but you get gradually downgraded on their servers until they are running the slowest speed that is acceptable/working (allegedly - no idea if this is correct but it might explain why my connectivity doesn't seem to be what it was) - which is when everything starts going pear shaped.
The range of their wireless routers is crap.
However they are reasonably cheap.
Their web site and webmail is stuffed full of adverts which also slow it down.

We all have different experiences I wish you well with what looks like an attractive deal!
Haha, you won't, because you won't have any internet access [emoji23][emoji23]
Practically, was with Talk Talk for a while and would sadly agree with most of the posts on here. If anything goes wrong (it will) they are a complete and utter shitshow. Their customer service is horrendous. At least Sky are very good at fixing things (new router delivered next day free of charge etc after remote testing)

I almost signed up to them the other day as their sports and cinema deal seemed great value.
Then I looked into it a bit more and it seems that those channels, among others, are provided via the internet. That put me right off. I don't want to pay for channels only to have the quality drop off a cliff if the internet slows down, and you can't record one of the internet channels while watching another.

Been with Virgin for years now. Things do go wrong and sometimes I get a staff member who is useless. Then, I just go through to customer services and ask them to get it sorted and they seem to be able to sort things out perfectly.

As the OP is a very, very strange man (perchance on day release) - well, it couldn't have happended to a nicer bloke. One assumes his 'great' deal is based on his requirement to make only local calls, exclusively around the Brighton area, and watch content written, produced and directed in Brighton alone.

How are things in Northumberland. My landline is a business number printed on my business cards used now for incoming only and as I've now just got mobile re-instated having had two Samsung mobiles stolen.
As far as your "jibe" is concerned it's you who is very strange for an adult resorting to using "hehe's" in your posts but you come across as deluded since IIRC you were putting me on ignore.
Please do that as it'll be easier on both.

Yeah, pretty sure.
I'm also pretty sure you're very, very weird.
So; I'm adding you to the old ignore list.
Have fun Hun xxxx

WTF? You run a business?!? Ha! so; you're an eccentric millionaire... yeah... whatever.
God you're undeniably odd. Do you have someone who looks after you? I think 'computer' time should be over for today.
As for TalkTalk and you... totally deserving of each other.
I wish you both luck.

You're losing the plot pal. I run and own my own business.
