I'm with them and getting 3meg. No drop outs or issues with customer service, certainly better than BT.

It's also free so I can hardly complain anyway

Edited to add: But I'd have said both Sky and Virgin were better companies, if my broadband with TalkTalk wasn't free then I'd be with Virgin so don't hold out for a great connection if neither Sky or Virgin can do much for you.

I'm sure everyone will be able to tell tales on the customer services off all the ISPs to be honest. Having said that we've been with Talk Talk for the last 3 years and they've been fine. The main reason I went with them was that we could pay the line rental through them and not have to deal with BT in any way ever again!
