Irufushi Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Been with talktalk for 8 odd years, never had any problems with them. Bt on the other hand were a joke to deal with, as was the broadband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb102 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 My mate keeps a list of essential Argos codes for when his birsds kick him out. Saves time looking up the catalogue. I could get you a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwayssunnyingorgie Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Talk talk, BT and SKY are all pretty shit for Internet unless you go fiber. I had sky and was getting 2mb and I'm around 2.5 miles from the exchange. I've heard mixed reviews about sky fiber, weak signal strength and it dies for hours at a time are what I hear most from people at work. I had talk talk years ago and lasted a year then got shot of them. My bills would never be the price I was ment to pay and I found the customer service pretty poor for any tech faults.

graygo Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 They are all shite so pick the cheapest shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 From my own experience,I found talktalk absolutely shite. Sky weren't much better and I don't have a clue about BT. As Graygo says,go with the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Used bt customer service once, on a web chat, they were excellent. Never had an issue with them. My mum's with talk talk and they're OK, but quite often the service is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabienleclerq Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I used to have Sky in the ferry and it was fine, fibre optic has been put in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I had Sky upto 20Mb. Got 10Mb due to my distance from the exchange. The connection was solid, no problems. After the local cabinet thing got fibre enabled I switched to BT infinity 2 upto 75Mb . Get 70Mb, again solid with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 In the middle of buying a house in the Ferry (South) myself and all going well will be getting the keys in about a month so very interested to read the replies on this thread! I had sky at a previous flat in leith and other than having to turn the router off and on a couple of times when it randomly died then had no problems and would use them again. No experience with the others. Edit: Any general Ferry advice welcomed as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the ferry is getting at least four new jambos at the same time, good luck with the move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Winchester Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 They'll all be on the Openreach network so as has been said use the cheapest. Also, I still have a few Sky Q friends and family codes for the full TV package at ?35/month for 18 months if you want one. Give me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Any chance you could not get internet access in your new place and give us a break from your pish?As Irufushi said...no need. The guy asked a reasonable question and you come on to the thread just to abuse him, saying he talks pish. Not a good advert for your posting style, is it. As for the op's question. I've been round them all and as another poster said, they are all shit in one way and another. I'm with BT at the moment and having no problems, but pretty certain that won't continue.

Cigaro Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 We've just changed from talk talk regular broadband to bt fibre. Goes in on the 6th. Do they simply change or do we have to tell talk talk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
