Where to get the best broadband

Did you know that if an infinite number of monkeys were given an infinite number of typewriters eventually they would invent the internet? Not many people realise that this is exactly how the internet was invented. Unfortunately they haven't finished yet. They're getting there; a search for 'internet' on Google throws up nearly 3 billion results. That's a lot of monkeys but infinity still seems a long way off - as so many customers of TalkTalk have told us.

So who is the best at providing access to the internet? Well we can't answer that. Because that depends on what you want. Aol for example is actively targeting families by throwing in a laptop with a decent specification as part of its wireless package. Waitrose, yes, the posh grocer, offers a free helpline. The best we can can do is suggest that this lunchtime you read the:

The problem with TalkTalk was that it offered a deal that seemed too good to be true. So many people signed up that the company couldn't cope and when things went wrong it was a disaster for the company and the customers. So has the service improved? We still receive complaints about the company but not so many. Add your comments to this blog.
