Trying to cancel deceased father's TalkTalk contract Trying to cancel deceased father's TalkTalk contract
My Father passed away in January this year and had previously changed his phone line etc. to TalkTalk. On behalf of my mother I tried to contact them on the 16th February to advise them of the change in circumstances.

Virgin Media and slow Internet speeds Virgin Media and slow Internet speeds
The final straw for me was when my downward speed was reduced to less than 300kb/sec one Sunday evening.  In the past I have had a reliable 2MB/s, even though I live in rural Wales and am some distance from the exchange.

Orange dolphin Internet access Orange dolphin Internet access
Beware of Orange's pay as you go package called 'Dolphin'. The so called 'Free unlimited Internet acess' actually means you can visit Bebo, Myspace and Facebook for free. Visits to other websites will incur additional charges.

Besieged by random followers on Twitter Besieged by random followers on Twitter
There's one thing I find really annoying about Twitter; it's those random followers that latch on to you just after you have posted an update. This was actually quite exciting at first until I realised what was going on.

Have your say on the BBC website Have your say on the BBC website
I would like to gripe about the media, and in particular the BBC. Their 'Have Your Say' forums seem to reject many valid and non-offensive post. Why is there a need for so much censorship?

Frustrated by inept support staff Frustrated by inept support staff
Foreign call centres do my head in! I'm sure it's cheaper to operate them but the people you end up talking to rarely know the subject you are calling about well enough to support it.

BT customer service, truly dreadful BT customer service, truly dreadful
Like many other 'gripers' I am a BT customer. The problems began in ernest when I accepted an email offer for the total broadband package in September 2006. I have spent hours on the phone to BT customer service since.

Mobile broadband problems Mobile broadband problems
I recently purchased mobile broadband from Vodafone to use with my laptop. The problem is it doesn't work because of the signal strength in my area and I ended up locked into a contract for a service that I couldn't use.
