Re: TalkTalk non-LLU


[re: XRaySpeX] [link to this post]
 
Not the way I read English.

I can only see one occurrence and that doesn't even have a blank line to distinguish it from the Terms and Pricing blurb. Nor does the pricing link in that paragraph yield any mention of it.

In any case the whole section is badly titled as it implies it is only about bundles. I suppose that means you can't even have BT Wholesale broadband off them without TT line rental frown.

Anyway, my main point is that quite recently it was clearly visible and gave the allowance figure. Which is what I was looking for in the first place. A footnote found by pressing a down arrow inside a footnote, with completely inadequate information to compare with other providers, only available on one page, doesn't to me really represent "presence" on the website.

I just meant if you just mosey around the site and click on Broadband & Phone, Essentials package and Plus package tabs in succession and then open up that "TalkTalk Broadband & Phone" small print, you will see the statement I quoted in context of the particular package(s) you've got your peepers on.

EDIT: I only take responsibility for discovering what you couldn't find; not for the semantics and English of such discovery wink

Yes, I know I'm quibbling now, but the fact remains it has become a very much a hidden item. It isn't even clear what the "you may still be able to get an alternative broadband service from TalkTalk at £15.32 extra per month" means. Additional to what? TT Essentials, TT Plus, (the two headings it comes under), or TT Phone? Which itself I doubt will be the same rental and call charges as the LLU one.

"May still be able to ..."? That allows for the half-dozen exchanges that have restricted ISP access no doubt. Hah!
