TalkTalk Business pulls disappearing act on customer emails TalkTalk Business customers were forced to survive without email nearly a week after a technical fault disrupted domain hosting. Problems began on the evening of Wednesday, April 9, when a mystery glitch affected the domain hosting and left some users without email. According to one customer, TalkTalk "admitted they have made …
A bit like the John Lewis strap line... "Never knowingly undersold"
"We could price-match with the high street but can't be bothered, so we'll leave the hard work to you"
(I bought a Roberts radio from them for Xmas and the price on their own website varied by £60 depending on what colour you wanted)
I currently pay them for broadband but that's only because I was with Shell Energy who were bought by Octopus then sold on to TT. Don't fancy paying them a crippling exit fee, plus I use my own router, pi-holes pointing at Cloudflare and domain at Mythic Beasts for email. As soon as the contract expires in August they won't see me for dust!
I've been seeing problems with mail from TalkTalk for a couple of weeks. Their outbound mail comes from virtual servers in the domain tt.xion.oxcs.net, however they seem to have added more VMs recently but have forgotten to add them to DNS (or have reused an existing IP address causing a host mismatch), causing my picky MTA to bounce their mail.
