Cynical? Nobody gives something for nothing TalkTalk

So ISP company TalkTalk are planning to waive the phone and broadband charges of customers having problems in the credit crisis.

Forgive me for being a little cynical, but it’s great publicity isn’t it -an ISP with a heart, thinking about all those poor, starving unemployed people.

If I’ve got this straight- the company is going to forego a £6.49 monthly tarriff for six months. Fantastic. Apart from the £10.50 a month line rental you’ll still need to pay.

And the fact TalkTalk are going to drop you to half the original speed.

Don’t know about you, but do the words “good publicity for doing very little” make sense right about now?
