[edit] Tidy up

Confusing this talk page is Sceptre (Talk) 21:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

This page must have one of the most befuddling titles in WP... could be confused easily with TalkTalk, Talk:Talk, Talk Talk, Talk:Talk Talk... dearie me. haz (talk) e 16:37, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dead reference

I had to remove a reference to a message within "talktalkhell" as the following message appears on accessing it "This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:"

[edit] Including talktalkhell

I am unsure why user:193.118.251.61 (from AOL.COM) removed the external reference to TalkTalkHell. I have reverted to put it back in unless there is a clear rationale? -- Ashley VH 12:40, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wrong logo?

is there any particular reason that someone has put the CPW logo on this page? the TT logo is included, but the CPW logo is in the place where the logo of the actual company in question usually goes.

although TT is owned by CPW, it is still a separate company, and not just a service offered by CPW Paulfp 21:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

. thanks to Ashleyvh for changing the logo :) I've also corrected some other inaccuracies in the company box bit, which referred to Carphone Warehouse rather than TalkTalk. I've also updated the opening sentence of the article as it implied that TT was just a service offered by CPW... I have now brought it in line with what it says on the official TT web site Paulfp 09:45, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] wrong date on timeline

Also, we need to change the date for the free broadband launch on the timeline... it was in 2006 not 2005 :) I had a go but I don't understand the Wiki markup so couldn't move the column! :) Paulfp 09:57, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Now corrected, well spotted. Help:Table is a good guide for tables, the normal options for html tables apply so "rowspan" etc. works in the normal way. -- Ashley VH 10:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terms & Conditions?

Is the big section on the TT Ts&Cs really necessary? It makes the article seem a bit like a slagging-off ground for talktalk, rather than an informative and impartial encyclopedia article, IMHO. 85.69.208.145 16:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to re-present this. These are customer issues and to be fair to TalkTalk it seems sensible to quote the actual contract terms. Perhaps this could be shrunk to key words from the contract rather than the full paragraph {text now slimmed down}?

If balance is the problem then if there are responses from TalkTalk these can also be referenced. There are references for the contract lock-in issue but I'm not sure there are references with regard to the customer records issue apart from the current ICO potential prosecution (discussed in Carphone Warehouse).

[edit] fixed line...

It occurs to me that this article makes TalkTalk seem like it's purely a broadband provider.... whilst it is the free broadband offer which has been in the news most recently, we should not forget that it is first and foremost a landline phone company. (and a very successful one at that - I dont have the figures to hand but if you ignore the broadband, its customers are overall extremely satisfied). If someone has a moment to add information on the Talk1, Talk2, Talk3 and Talk3 International tarrifs [but careful not to make it read like an advert] that would be useful Paulfp 13:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tracking websites

Note that CPW has moved where the pdfs of the annual reports are available on the corporate website (cpwplc). I have this on my to-do list to sort out. -- Ashley VH 09:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
