Tipsheet |
The company was tipped earlier in 2002, but has fallen through the "stop loss" limits they set. This was perhaps as a reflection of market conditions in general rather than any change in prospects. |

Carphone Warehouse and Talk Talk A "Free broadband" competitor messes up customer relations. |
3 October 2006 In April 2006, the company offered 'free broadband forever' to anyone signing up to its international calls package. Since then, hundreds of viewers have sent letters and emails to the programme every month. Many signed up to the offer, but never received the free broadband. Leigh Skuse, from Pontypool, signed up in May. Since then, she managed to get online for just three weeks. She continued to pay her monthly bills, and Talk Talk also charged Skuse for calls she made to the company's technical support line trying to resolve the situation. Vie Marshall, from London, also signed up in May 2006. Talk Talk never connected her to the internet, and on three occasions, it lost her details. Even more frustrating were the calls Marshall had to make to the company's call centres. On one occasion, she spent 56 minutes 40 seconds on the line. Donald Beal, from London, was so unimpressed with the company's customer service, he cancelled his contract after seven weeks. Talk Talk acknowledged his cancellation, but continued to bill Beal for a further two months. The company ignored his letters, emails and phone calls, referring his account to debt collectors. Nicky went to meet Charles Dunstone at his headquarters to find out why Talk Talk's 'broadband revolution' was floundering. In reception, by chance, he met two more angry customers. They'd travelled to the company to complain in person about the service they'd received. Dunstone said he was disappointed so many people had complained to Watchdog. He said: "Talk Talk is connecting hundreds of thousands of people to free broadband every week." He added that half a million have already signed up and the offer has been so successful, the company has been overwhelmed. He explained that he has hired many more staff and that by Christmas, anyone calling a Talk Talk call centre will speak to a human, not an automated voice. Dunstone added that he has introduced a process for handling cancellations and outstanding accounts, saying: "I got it wrong. I didn't realise that free broadband was going to have the effect on people it has." Carphone Warehouse, which owns Talk Talk, has apologised to all the cases featured, and has offered refunds to some of them. |
