This is an absolute diabolical service

This is an absolute diabolical service, I advise anyone thinking about this service not to even bother. A complete waste of time. Struggle to get WiFi every single day and sometimes when watching amazon or now tv it constantly freezes due to WiFi. They take £37 each month. Just so frustrating with this service it’s unbelievable. Getting through to them also is a waste of time and quite often you speak to rude staff members that have no idea at all, asked to speak to a manager apparently that wasn’t possible and they would call me back......but of course I never got the phone call. PLEASE READ REVIEWS AS OVERALL BAD!

Customer died 25.12.2017- now chasing debt through an agency for terms paid.....

Called them on 27.12.2017 to inform them that their customer - my Mum - had passed away on 25.12.2017. Told they would not cancel contract without her death cert!! Sent death cert off on 29.12.201u and they still took the payment for January 2018. Have received threatening telephone calls and now letters from a debt agency stating they are taking her to court! Called the debt agency, explained I had informed TimeTalk already, sent cert and they had taken payment already - the collection agency then told me I need to return the router!!! Why??? Enough to lose your Mum but on Christmas Day and then be chased to return the router.......oh and none of the numbers worked on their website and had to find another number through Google. APPALLING COMPANY!

Time Talk sold me fibre broadband

Time Talk sold me fibre broadband. I checked with Open reach and i am told that fibre broadband isn't available as i live too far away from the connection. What can i do. I have been paying for a service that i haven't been receiving and in fact is not available. What is next? The Ombudsman? BBC watchdog?

Disgraceful company

Never known a company like it. They should be brought up for sheer incompetence. They have owed my mother £70 since the start of her contract with them and that was over 12 months ago. They say they will credit her account but never have. Have now changed provider because of price increase and writing off the money owed. I would advise anyone thinking of joining them DONT. Worst company ive ever been with i think their sales and aftersales people have never had any training

Where do I begin

Where do I begin? Firstly we have been with Timetalk for a year and a bit and throughout this period we have received below than poor connection for wifi! This is the only reason we are giving you money as phone lines have become obsolete really so we cant rate you on that. We have phoned multiple times and have been put on hold for ages and cannot get through! The two times I was able to get through nothing was done and really the people at the end of the line are just saying words to try and get me to go away. Customer service at this company is one of the worst i have ever come across! Especially Nathan who we had to deal with today, he was more interested in talking about himself and his experiences, and when we asked to be put through to a manager he refused outright. He said he could deal with it and refused to even put us through to someone else .... Is not customer care / complaint a manager concern? This to me is criminal. We have been over charged for a service which hasn't even been a service... 0.6 download speed at 10 oclock at night on a Tuesday, atrocious. And then to be told I have to pay £84 cancellation fee .... Surely there is a compromise here? You can clearly see you haven't done enough as a company to try and help and then to have the audacity to take more? Please please do not sign up with TIME TALK they are criminal and will take advantage as much as they can!! Vile company!!

Disgraceful

I am writing a review on behalf of my girlfriend who has had some of the worst experiences with this company! The Wifi she received from this company was below poor and every time she tried to ring this company was put on hold for over 40mins .... I imagine this is their tactic as other reviews all say getting through to them is very hard! When she finally got through she was told that they would swap lines and that they could see our WIFI was poor .... this had no impact what so ever. When she finally had enough and wanted to leave she was put through to an arrogant and rude member of staff called Nathan who I also had the pleasure of trying to make this person realise the atrocious way this company is run! When we asked to be put though to a manger ... He refused outright ????? In what normal company is this ever acceptable and in practice! Nathan clearly made us understand that it was a £84 termination fee and we later found out that the router is £69 if not returned.... HOW IS THAT ROUTER WORTH £69 !!!
PLEASE EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!
THEY CANNOT SEE PAST THE FACT THEY EXPLOIT PEOPLE AND THEIR STAFF REALLY DO NOT CARE AND HAVE NO COMPASSION.

CUSTOMER SERVICE THE WORST I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS!

Rubbish, Capped line and back street

Don’t go with this provider because they are small and no customer service at all. Honest and they cap the line. I paid for standard ADSL connect for 8mb+ and actually CAP the service to 2mb. This is done on the router level and most people want know. I don’t know how they get away with this?

The only problem I have with TimeTalk …

The only problem I have with TimeTalk is the length of time it takes to reach someone to talk to. Today I had to hang on for half an hour. Apart from that when I get through, I find everyone (especially Daniel today) very helpful. Also in the past I have never had a problem once I have got through.

The worst company I have ever dealt …

The worst company I have ever dealt with in my 30 yrs on this earth. Told me I could keep my old number and didn't deliver, gave me a date when it would all work and it didn't for months. Refused to listen to my initial phone call in which I was told it was a 12 month contract. Did not send paperwork of my contact. Took money from my account without my authorisation then continued for years to send threatening letters for 2 years 🙄🖕🏽

As I work in IT

As I work in IT, I reckon that I have some sort of extra interest in ISP's. TIMETALK are quite frankly one of, if not, the worst I have come across. Getting through to customer Support is just a joke. Phone lines go un-answered and the automated service will quite quickly cut you off. On-line support works when they deem fit. Today is Saturday and support is suppose to operate 10am to 6pm - Well, it's 10:29 and it's still not up. So, if you can't get through on the phone and online support is.......offline, then what do you do. Has anyone tried doing online chat on a mobile phone with internet access and typing away?........hmmmmm....not good. So, here we have it - an internet server that doesn't connect - you can't therefore get on line and you can't speak on the phone as no one picks up. The advertised 0845 numbers are now defunct. Now here's the real issue why I am writing this - the internet is NEEDED for webcams for an elderly relative and has now been down for 2 weeks. Ask yourself a question: why on earth would you consider using a company like TIMETALK?
