Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Gadgets & Tech Talk Talk - Broadband

Thankfully this isn't my provider but a member of the families and its been hassle from the start.

Taking up there offer of the £6.50 per month with phone line cheap calls (which is pretty good).

First - The Router your sent has 1 port on the back.
Yes its wireless but very limited options.
They dont support the port forwarding. (your games).

Second - They don't support redirect e-mails ??
I have say my mememem@wikiwirral e-mail account you cant send and receive that e-mail via talk talk.
So you can not configure outlook to resolve this.
You pinned down to there "e-mail" only. So be Very aware of that.

Customer service is "English"
Tech Support is very Indian - and they know very little and don't understand how to resolve many problems.

Personally Talk Talk's setup and service isnt for me.

Hope that helps anyone thinking of changing.

I've had problems with talk-talk in the initial stages but once its up and running its a pretty good service and cheap!

I have no problems sending or receiving redirected emails through talk-talk, I run loads of different email addresses both receiving and sending. I am using Thunderbird for email, I seem to remember that outlook was a bit awkward to set up but I have not really used it on a regular basis for years.

I am surprised at the router, they normally have a 4 port 9not that anyone uses them), whilst talk-talk have custom software for the basic settings to be automated, on mine you can get past that and set anything you want on the router.

The Send and Receive works strangley with sky.
but other providers wont work.

The Router has the advanced options for Port Forwarding,
but they offer no support for it.

A case of get on with it.

When i was asking there customer support how to. . .

HE was Googling the answer lol
Even then he couldn't help lol
