Hopeless - don't touch them
2-8 meg promised 6 wks ago but I've yet to find out - open reach engineer says 0.4 meg and need fibre but company hasn't got it. Won't refund my money (£245 penalty) until the system is checked out. Need router for that. Routers sent twice according to company but I've not received one. Getting through to customer service ortechnical typically a 45 minute job. Staff unhelpful and always looking to tack on extra charge - £14.99 for a router when I haven't received one. BT customer service in India is actually quicker more knowledgable and much more helpful and polite.
This company should be avoided at all costs.

diabolical
I have been having trouble with Timetalk since January 2013 when I was supposed to move from <external link removed> to them and get fibre optic broadband. My services were stopped by <external link removed> on 25th Feb but I did not go live with Timetalk until the end of March. My fibre has not worked properly since start and yesterday my speeds dropped again to 1.9/2.5mb/sec from highs of 36mb/s. However Timetalk say I used 27gb yesterday even though we could hardly use the net. We normally use 1/2 gb per day. Timetalk are closed all weekends so it is impossible to report these faults and when calling like today I was put on hold for 31 mins before a person answered and I asked to be put through to a complaints department or escalations department as I have been told they are dealing with my problems. After being put on hold for another 40 mins aperson answered saying they were from the same department I started at. I asked to be put through to complaints and was told they would call me back. As they had been promising that for some months and never do call back I said I wanted to speak to someone now. I was put on hold again and as has happened repeatedly in the past I was eventually cut off after 75 mins on the phone. I have had money wrongly taken from my bank and not returned even though Timetalk promised to return it. I have paid £100 extra as the normal routers do not work and the business router they sent also did not work so I agreed to return it for a refund. No refund has been paid. I have now bought my own router that works fine although my speeds and useage are wrong still. I have paid a years line rental in advance only for timetalk to repeatedly continue to charge me extra for line rental. I have been promised unlimited useage only to be charged extra for going over some limit. I have made nearly 60 calls and very ralely talk to anyone who can sort my problems and ver very raley get the promised call back from timetalk. I have been told the problem is with [External Reference] only to have a number of visits from [External Reference] where I have had to wait in to be told the problem is with Timetalk and not [External Reference]. I have been told by Timetalk to problem is with my pc or my phone so I bought a new phone and renewed my pc only to fnd out the problem was not with me either. I have written emails and letters to timetalk and get no reply. I have stopped my direct debit as they keep taking more and more money from my bank when I should be in credit so timetalk have no charged me penalty fees! I have now reported them to CISAS and hope they have more satisfaction than I am able to achieve. I will be leaving Tilmetalk as soon as I can.
TIME TALK IS OK BY ME
I placed an order with Time talk and later found due to my circumstances it was not convenient for me to change my provider at this time. We I wrote to them they cancelled my order and wished me well. Good on Time Talk.

Time Talk - Starting to come round?
I was a customer of another ISP up until a couple of months ago. In August I went into what I thought was my ISP's web site to check my billing statement. I got a message on a web page ( I don't know how I ended up on that page) to say there was a problem with my account and gave an 0800 number to ring. When I dialled the number I got an operator who claimed they were signing up customers to a new account. I then noticed the different name (TIME Talk). I told the operator that I still had time left on my current contract but I was told not to worry about it, that it would be taken care of. I had the definite impression that my ISP was aware of this. Realisation that Time Talk was actually a competitor poaching customers from my ISP came later, but I stupidly allowed myself to be drawn in. My ISP charged me a £90 contract break fee, which they took out of my direct debit. For a few weeks the Time Talk customer advisers insisted I shouldn't worry, just mail them a pdf of the statement, and they’ll pass it to their accounts department for processing. A lot of sympathy and telling me how bad my ISP was by charging such a large amount and they would write to them on my behalf and urge them to refund it.. I have now accepted my mistake, and as a result of this experience I want to leave Time Talk and go elsewhere. Their Cancellation advisor told me they would charge me a contract breaking fee of over £500.
I have since heard from Time Talk and they have decided to credit me back the £90 because as they admitted their salesperson had made a mistake in allowing me to believe they would simply pay back the breakage fee. So on this basis they have started to go up in my estimation.
