I have been with TT customer approximately 10 years and in that time i have only had one major problem which was the speeds slowed to a crawl one Christmas (by crawl i mean barely worth turning the PC on) a few people from my town used this forum to discuss the problem and within a couple of day an engineer was sent to the exchange and all was well again, i found the call centre staff very helpful and i consider one problem in 10 years to be very good service.

Before the haters jump all over me i know TT support has a bad reputation but very few customers sign up to a forum like this to sing an ISP's praises which gives readers a very one sided and often unfair view of an ISP's performance.

I migrated to talktalk from Be before it was taken over by Sky 6 years ago. Over this time I have received a fast and reliable service at an extremely competitive price, and until the problem I had with my line which was down to BT openreach I can honestly say I have received first class service from talktalk. In some ways I doubt were it not for the help of talktalks own bright sparks engineers I don.t think openreach would have sorted the problems out.

I can only Echo the OP - went from BT Infinity 2 (Which I had no problems with) across to the top Talk Talk packakge and save £16 a month. Not only that, the TalkTalk phone package bundles options (Like caller display) for free. We also opted for the free SIM card which is perfect for my sons mobile.

However, I didn't get on with the TT provided router - I tried to transfer my existing SSID id and passwords so the wireless devices didn't need to reconnect but the TT router wouldn't allow certain characters or spaces so thankfully went back to my original Openreach Modem/ASUS router.

Not had to call their customer services (I didn't phone BT in the 2 years I was with them).

I had Infinity, I also installed Talk Talk Business. It's worked without problem since. I am happy that I did as I was able to dump Infinity and BT

I had no issues with TT from a connection standpoint. I did however dislike their customer service, and unfortunately nobody anywhere was much good, even if you escalated.

I am with BT now, and their CS is equally bad, but there are some very helpful teams if you escalate.

From a connection standpoint I found TalkTalk to be more reliable, less router reboots, less dropouts etc.
