TalkTalk are “Violet-Eilizabeth” - When they’re are good, they are very,very good, but when they’re bad, they are f%%king awful!
The vast majority of the tech problems are down to afore-mentioned infrastructure which of course they can do nothing about as it is maintained by a monopoly
The worst complaints i often read about is if you want to cancel with Virgin as it seems to be almost an impossibility, without spending hours on the b___dy phone
TIM landline 24.90 euros per month unlimited calls to all numbers…(if you live in big cities by paying a little more you get a speed of 10gb download and 2gb upload)
Yes that is correct but even worse is the accent.
If they have a very strong accent it is almost impossible to understand them even if they are speaking english.
Very much the same for the welsh accent and many regional accents in the UK.
Here is an interesting topic of conversation for you…
Mobile touchscreen phones have been banned from being used at all when driving a car in the UK, or even when stationary, for road safety reasons which is fair enough and quite admirable.
Then what happens, motor manufacturers produce electric cars with all their main functions operated by, yes you guessed it, a b___dy big touchscreen at least 4/5 times the size of a mobile phone plonked right in front of the driver . Yet these are quite legal to use when driving. Try and explain to me the logic of that for gods sake or is it just my warped mind .
No law against it, even the heating controls etc are all on the touchscreen as are the radio, sat nav and everything else. Some have kept the heating controls as manual knobs but not many.
Even those on the steering wheel you often have to look down to see which ones you are pressing.
Basically you cant use an electric car without some use of the touchscreen.
My son in law has a company car which is electric and it’s like sitting in an aeroplane cock pit and the bright colours are almost dazzling especially at night.
I didn’t realize that it was legal but the only electric car I’ve only ever drove was a Tesla and it has buttons for the media, it also has a voice recognition button so no real need to touch the screen while driving but I do agree the rules are not logical
To be honest i don’t know anybody who could afford to buy an electric car, they are ridiculous prices and most of the ranges are crap.
Almost impossible in my opinion to go on a long drive considering you have to return home as well
Even a b___dy electric Mini is around £35k or so, who can afford that.
I bet most of them on the roads are either on huge loans or leased and the seond hand values seem to be plunging like a bottomless pit.
Must be the easiest way of losing £1000’s.
About 30 years ago, as part of my job, I had to drive from Manchester to Redruth in Cornwall on a Friday. Do some ‘work’ (about 1 hour). Then drive back to Manchester to pick up my girlfriend, and then drive down to Stone in Staffordshire, as we were going away for the weekend. A total of 750 miles (1200 km) in 18 hours. Refuel once (about 5 minutes). Can’t see anyone doing that in an electric car… it takes far too long to recharge and they have a crap range even on a full charge !!
Exactly. Who in their right mind is going to spend any type of money on a 5 -7 year old EV knowing within a couple of years you’ll be spending 20k or more to replace the batteries. Second hand value will be crap leaving the original owner with hardly anything to put down on a new one.
