I've never used TalkTalk before, but I will say this: you get what you pay for.

No, he's quite right... If it really was free, it's probably the ISP's fault, and there's not much you can do about it.

YOU MUST BE JOKING. ITS FREE BECAUSE IT COMES AS A PACKAGE, WITH THE PHONE. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE THAT USE TALKTALK BROADBAND & NEVER HAVE ANY TROUBLE. I THOUGHT THIS SITE WAS BY PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTOOD COMPUTER PROBLEMS, SURLY THERE MUST BE AN EXPERT SOMEWHERE ON THIS SITE, THAT CAN DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM & NOT MAKE SILLY SUGESTIONS.

1. Could you please not WRITE LIKE THIS. It won't make us respond quicker.

2. If you get impatient like this, it'll only turn people away from responding. Nobody here has to deal with rudeness, so most people just don't.

3. You should provide more information. Like the computer you're using, the modem you're using, if it's routed, how long the network cable is, etc.
