Hi all
I got this new talk talk broadband free forever deal but im finding that it keeps disconnecting.

Im not sure weather its the service, my adsl router or my phone line as i have been doing some building work and had to cut and join my phone line.

Both my brothers have the same isp and they dont seem to have the problem.

Anyone on here have this problem with talk talk??

Best speed when i do a speed test has been 1.7 mbps.
Mine sometimes becomes unusable for about an hour or so continually disconnecting

Hmm its all goes down to what equipment your exchange is using can be between 1 and 8mbps....my line can do upto 4mbps

Talk Talk are known to restrict ptp sites and some forums my son has had this disconnection prblem for over 6 months and they told him thats what they do.
they either limit bandwidth or disconnect you so you have to be at the pc to reconnect they are a crap isp. imoa

yep they have a 40gb download limit

and do not allow to use peer 2 peer like kazaa at peak times

my download manager stops downloading at peak times as well!

they go, if you oversuse the limit, after 3 warning they shall cut ur broadband off

btw talktalk is cheaper than bt or ntl
