switching broadband

[BHMer]

Any opinions on the new "FREE" 8 meg broadband from TalkTalk?

Was just about to say the same myself.

No hidden catches, just a one off setup fee for £29.99

I think you still have to pay for a package of calls and line rental

bhm,how long have you been working for talktalk?
dont get me wrong i think dunstone has done fantastic things for the consumer,his carphone warehouse set up is obviously awesome,his home phone call packages are great too,however his broadband is bollox

[BHMer]

You think because my 1st post is related to TalkTalk's services, I work for them - jesus!

Do you think if I worked for them, I'd come to a poker forum to spam about them? hardly.

What a welcome... to say the least.

I couldn't give two shites if they went bankrupt tomorrow, I seen the TV advert today for the first and just thought i'd comment on it - after checking it out as i'm on the 10mb broadband with NTL and am currently happy with it, bar their shite customer support.

Welcome aboard BHM!

Excuse Edy, but it happenas so often, when a new Member's first Post praises a particular Company, it's often the casde that it's Spam. And the blondes are a bit sensitive about Spam, as we don't usually allow it, & they like it that way.

Stay a while, you'll find it's a warm & welcoming place, the blondes are well-friendly. With no spam!

[BHMer]

No bother ...I can see where he's coming from - I suppose.

Thanks for the welcome tikay, I hope to contribute the odd story on/off the felt every now 'n' again.

Love the new design to the site.

Thanks BHM. What part of the country you from?

[BHMer]

Northern Ireland Tikay, what about yourself - whereabouts in the UK are you from?

I live in Derbyshire now, but Londoner by birth. Brought up in Old Coulsdon till I was 5, then Acton, in West London.

Northern Ireland - we went to Sean Murphy's plasce in Belfast last year, & we took a trip round some of the trouble spots, which was very sobering. You near Belfast?

Ironside,

May sound ridiculous but we have used TescoNet for the last 6 years as an ISP and never ever had a serious problem with them at all.

We have had broadband for 18 months and never had any disconnections or such like, its great value unlimited for £25 a month. Its 100% unlimited because my brothers are always dwnloading music and all that and have never evperienced a limit on teir usage.

Have a look out for it mate, you may be surprised!

I have NTL and i really think they have sorted themselves out now, they used to be shite but i haven't had a problem for ages. Also, i started with 2 meg and now have 10 meg and am still paying the same money and it really is the nuts.

Ace2m,

Have you noticed any difference between 2meg and 10 meg?

Ace2m,

Have you noticed any difference between 2meg and 10 meg?

Personally not so much apart from i don't get slow downs when my housemate is downloading loads of stuff. He says he notices that downloads and uploads go a lot quicker. But the biggest thing is it just hasn't gone wrong since it got upgraded.

Not very technical i know but i'm a bit of a luddite.

Yeah use to play in The Cavendish Club on a regular basis, until it was raided and shut down.

...as poker is illegal in Northern Ireland still unless you play it in a bingo hall - yeah don't ask our laws are well behind the times.

So apparently, Sean is looking into buying a poker hall just for the bingo license (and gaming license which poker falls under) and re-opening later this week in another location in Belfast, take it you got one of those red double decker tour buses then? ...yeah its all quiet on the Northern front these days - not much trouble at all.

Infact, we're probably one of the quietest countries in Europe now.
