DON'T DO IT!!!

As u might know, i work for the carphone warehouse, and we are talk talk's parent company.. i should be saying go for it.. NOOOOOOOOO

Every second customer we get is someone complaining about talk talk, and how crap the service is, thats if they are one of the lucky ones who are actually connected..

I used to have talk talk, but got out of it recently and went with tiscali.. so much better!!!

im on with orange...formally known as blah blah...chris covered it.  Its been fine...we went with ordinary broadband to begin with...til i got bored and started mooching...found that wireless 8meg broadband cost the same as ordinary 2mb broadband....sooooo switched over to that and have been a happy camper since then, joe has his puter (hardwired in) and i have the laptop which is wireless...means no more fighting over the laptop...u finished on that yet, can i just have a quick go...awwwww youve been on there ages its my turn...not that we were being kids about it or anything. 

Id strongly recommend orange

Hi,
I use AOL and for most things its fine, quick sign on and web browsing but not so good for Madmums unfortunatly, as Madmums doesnt support the AOL browser or something,
so when i want to minichat or take part in the quizzes in the chat rooms etc, i have to use my Internet Explorer to sign into this site!!

AOL have "Live Help" where you can talk to advisors on line like a chat box and have been really helpfull with helping me with my problems and just questions on how to do certain things Lol!

And they have a range of prices depending on how much you can afford....Broadband, broadband silver, gold, platinum which each have higher speeds.
If you want any more information on prices, how to join or anything just PM me and il see if i can help.

x-x-x

Hi hun

I too am on AOL, have the same prob with the chat here, but never get time to get into that atm anyhow lol.  They are pretty good with most things, and I have the Virus protection that I pay monthly which I think is good as its updated all the time and I dont have to worry about getting one from pc world every five mins hehe

 

good luck with what you choose, once you move to broadband youll never go back on dialup

Oh small word of warning some have a restriction on how long you spend, and then charge over a certain amount of hours online, aol is unlimited time, so you can leave the pc on all day!

 

luv sxxx

We're with BT Broadband/BT Yahoo and have no problems at all. I know loads of people who have it and never seem to complain at all.

Good luck.
