I have just got off the phone to Talktalk, I am moving on 29th June, and wanted to cancel my service (we are not taking it to the new address), was told that they need 30 days notice and are not able to disconnect the phone until 18th July. I understand the notice, and I am happy to pay 30 days notice, however I think it is bizarre that they are unable to disconnect my phone. Someone else will own the property from 29th June, and will potentially have access to my phone service - and it will also make it difficult for them to get a service set up in the mean time if they wanted to.
This seems very bizarre, it is not exactly secure, and it doesn't make sense. I get the cancellation period, but just charge me the 30 days - no need to force me to keep the service at a property I won't own any more for the 30 days if I won't be living there.
