if you are wise, stay away from telewest, they bad news, the price is %300 what they claim it to be, the phone call prices are gigantic, the service is shite if you are serious about the interenst I had them on for two years and think it's the worst mistake I have made in my life. it took me about £12 in phone calls just to tell them I don't want them no more!! and it was only when I wrote to a solicitor to get them to understand that I did NOT want their service that they accepted the fact that we dont wish to be fooled into this big scam ...  Read the complete review

In April this year we subscribed to Telewest and had the package of broadband, telephone and tv packages. Each month, however when the bill came in we could of died. It is not the amount due that was shocking us, but the month in advance for all services. Surely if you work out you are paying a constant month in advance each month, then you are essentially paying 24 months a year. What happens to this extra 12 months? Not only that, what Telewest fail to tell you in the contract or ever, is when you upgrade you again have to pay this month in advance AGAIN. Confusing, yes! During the time we have been with Telewest (since April) We have paid over £1200. This is including ...  Read the complete review

A Short history. Once upon a time I was a BT customer. I wanted a second line for internet access. They wanted £50 to install it. Telewest (Yorkshire Cable as it was then) wanted £9.99 if I transferred to them. Au ree-voir BT. Since that time I've added the cable TV which effectively gave me the line rental on line 2 for free. Then took Broadband, and finally hooked up with Talk Unlimited, a standard fee for all-you-can-talk 24/7 (mobiles excluded). Like a lot of plc's today, their customer service side is run on a shoestring. If you accept this (and you really shouldn't have to deal with them that often), the package is very good. I pay £54 per month for ...  Read the complete review

I have been on the internet for over 5 yrs and have been with a lot of service providers. So when I heard about blueyonder and the hi-speed internet service i thought yes that is for me. I called and payed my money for install £50 and the first month up front and waited on installation.I couldnt wait to have a fast connections up to 10 to 15 times faster than my 56k. At first it was fine and there was no problems but as the months went on there was the odd hickup,the modem acting up and it seemed a bit slow at times but we put it down to teething problems. But over the last 2 months the word nightmare springs to mind sometimes all we have is a ...  Read the complete review

i have had this service since december 2000 and to start with i was impressed. at the beginning i had a few days of no internet due to it just going dead for over 24 hrs on me, i was NOT happy. When it worked however it was unbelievable. FANTASTIC to be honest! However all good things come to an end. The last 2 month it has been appalling. takes a life time for connections. i timed a site earlier, www.spl-extra.com, and it took 10 seconds to load a page that was hardly full with huge graphics. thats just poor. I reckon it would be faster or at least as fast with 56k. If you are thinking of getting this service, i would probably say go for it, but dont ...  Read the complete review
