Sorry. I may have got a few wires twisted here, but it sounds like you haven't paid your bill. Why don't you just pay it, and then there won't be any need for them to cut you off?
This forum is about TalkTalk YouView. They could easily cut off the TalkTalk Player and any boosts that you may have. I daresay the box would continue to function as a Freeview box, but you wouldn't pick up any on demand services because you wouldn't have Internet access as your phone line would be cut off. You have criticised their customer services very strongly, but if you haven't paid your bill, you don't have a leg to stand on. |

Well, the words 'if payment is not made prompto' did appear in your original post, which does rather give the impression that they were of the opinion that you owed them money. As for how they would do it, I should imagine they would simply disconnect your phone line, leaving you without phone calls, internet access or any of the online YouView stuff.

You seem to have answered your own question.

As a TT customer, who, due to being unemployed, frequently pays his bills late, I have to say that TT are actually very understanding, and as long as they know what is going on and have an agreed date for payment, they do NOT restrict the service in any way at all - apart from the fact that if you have an outstanding bill, then you cannot make any changes to your boosts.

All exchanges are computer controlled. To cut you off is just a matter of pressing a few buttons. Some providers allow incoming calls for a time, all allow 999 emergency calls out going as far as I can recall. All other services cease. If you fail to pay your bill you may not be accepted by another provider.
I have had TalkTalk for several years without any problems. |
