Abysmal customer service

Abysmal customer service, charges appearing on the account when they said they wouldn't charge, then I have to spend days just trying to prove my point. Agents not able to view previous chats sometimes. If you are not careful, you will get overcharged and it will be made to look like you have to pay this charge actually. It was tolerable before, but now the company is in absolute shambles. They hire customer service agents who do not understand or speak English (I am not being a racist). You have to be able to communicate clearly to understand and help customers. Their contractor BrightSparks engineers are also shady, one almost left so we could be charged for a missed appointment despite me telling him on the phone that we are in, and he needs to come and knock the door. Do not recommend unless you can always be on edge with this company and stand your ground, and NEVER pay anything you do not owe. Do not let them steal from you. Will be switching providers as soon as possible.

they double-billed me for a year and owed me over £400, it took over 8 hours on the phone over the course of 2 weeks to get my refund. They admitted their mistake but initally only offered me £100. The absolute worst customer service of any company I've ever dealt with and I'm 41 and on my 3rd home.

Hi Sheldon,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been. Being incorrectly double‑billed for such a long period and not the standard we aim to provide.
We also recognise how unacceptable it is that you had to spend so much time chasing this up, and that the initial compensation offered didn’t reflect the inconvenience caused.
we’d  love the chance to make things right. If you’re happy to, please reach out to our team directly here: http://www.talktalk.co.uk/trustpilotchat.

Missing power cable turns into 3 week struggle

I recently moved house and was suggested TalkTalk by compare the market, signed up for it to go live on 27/3/26. Today is the 16/4/26 and I still have no internet. When I moved in the Power cable for my Openreach ONT box was missing, Openreach said I needed to contact TalkTalk for a replacement. I contacted them pretty much everyday, spoke to a bunch of different “virtual assistants” that took me all round the houses, got sent an RJ45 cable which I told them was the wrong cable but they sent anyway. I put a complaint in a lo and behold they arranged for an Openreach engineer to come- except they didn’t show up. After telling TalkTalk several times that I need my internet and I don’t feel I should pay for a service I’m not actually receiving I’m where I was weeks ago- frustrated and inconvenienced. I missed a day of work today to stay in for the engineer as they said that the only way for the issue to be solved, I’ve spoken to at least 3 different people today who all assured me that the engineer would be at my home before 9pm (which they described as early evening which I begged to differ). Now I will have to wait until tomorrow morning to contact them AGAIN for another round of back and forth. So much for “here to help”!!

Hi Hannah,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this has been—especially after moving home and needing reliable internet for work.
It’s not right that your service, due to go live on 27/03/26, is still not active. We appreciate how exhausting it must have been to keep chasing support, receive the wrong equipment, and wait in for an engineer who didn’t arrive. Being reassured several times without a resolution would be upsetting for anyone.
I’ve reviewed your account and can see that a case handler is currently managing this for you. They’re looking into everything raised and will be in touch to discuss things further. I can also see that a follow‑up is scheduled for today between 12–4pm, and I’ve added a note to your complaint asking them to reach out to you during that time.

Kind Regards

Talk talk. Wow.

Never have i written a bad review but they are jist terrible.

Tried cancelling with them twice, however, they kept on charging and adding admin fees. Have been disconnected for 3 months while trying to cancel and amounted bills of over £200.

Trying to cancel again now so fingers crossed.

Poor connection and customer service

When you have a problem with ongoing internet drop outs it is so hard to get in touch with them to resolve the issue. When you want to leave they bombard you with calls to try and get you to stay and you can’t escape them.

Worse Broadband service

Worse Broadband service, I never received such bad service from anything ... Firstly, it's hard to get human customer service and secondly, irresponsible staff.
They don't bother what the customer wants. They cancel order without notification. When asking questions only say sorry but I waited almost 1 month to get the service after that they said it's been cancelled, so ridiculous.

We apologise for how difficult its been, the lack of clear communication, and especially for your order being cancelled without proper notice. Waiting nearly a month only to find out the service had been cancelled is understandably disappointing, and we fully recognise how upsetting that must have felt.

Worst Customer Service imaginable

Awful experience with talk talk.

We moved house on 10/04 and had a WiFi install and go live date scheduled for 13/04.

All details of the new property were shared with talk talk but the box wasn’t working after the engineer left.

We called talk talk and they advised there was no live account for this address on the system and that the old account had been deleted - they told us initially go live was by midnight on the 13th, then said it was the 14th - nothing.

They said they would call back and guess what? No call back. Lies.

After 7 cumulative hours on hold and being passed from pillar to post and lied to by various agents - we have decided to cancel services with this dreadful company.

Would not recommend, stay clear and trust the reviews on here.

Customer of 6 years signing out.

Absolutely terrible customer service

Absolutely terrible customer service, you can only contact them via a 'chat' system. I was passed from one 'agent' toanother (6 agents in total) and still the issue of moving home was not resolved.
In total spent nearly three hours being asked the same questions with no resolution. So I had no alternative but to cancel my contract and go to another provider who were extremely helpful via a phone conversation.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs. After 20 odd years, its time to get out of TalkTalk, as it seems totally staffed by AI bots that can only parrot FAQ type answers. I cant even log into my local golf club website because TalkTalk internet security stops me. The website has no issues when accessing using a different provider, and I VirusZero search done with no problems, and it works if using a VPN. It has been a month or two now and they still haven't fixed it and every time I go online, I get their robot that even when I'm logged in to my account, repeatedly asks me for my address, account number, postcode name et cetera and then still wants to send me a PIN number that I've no idea what to do with. And the price has just gone up to an uncompetitive level!
UPDATE. Near the end of a 1 hour Chat, after being passed up a seniority chain, when it suddenly says about to expire and then click off it goes can't get back to the same chat so would've had to have started again. I'm actually sick of low grade AI bots, so will look elsewhere

Unable to progress a new order.

I agreed a contract renewal on 13th March 2026 for my phone and broadband contract which runs out on 9th April 2026.
It is now 15th April and after several phone calls and e mails to agents i even raised a complaint but still have not received an updated contract. Every agent i speak to is full of apologies and promises to take action but nothing ever comes of it.
I have cancelled my dd and will get a reliable service provider.

Hi Paul,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced following your contract renewal on 13th March.
You’re absolutely right to expect your updated contract to be issued promptly. We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to follow this up multiple times and receive assurances without seeing this resolved. Thank you for your patience – we really do appreciate it.
This certainly isn’t the level of service we aim to provide.

On reviewing into this, I can see that this is being managed by a case handler who is assisting with processing this for you. They will contact you further to discuss the additional queries.

Once again, our sincere apologies, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Live chat, got passed on to 5 different sections, logged out 7 times and told I had used my limit of logins and still didn’t resolve issue. I asked to speak to a person and got sent to a phone number that is an automated service. Diabolical service, after 2 hours still no resolution, other than can we sell you what you already have.
