People calling £1.80 which got close today, but now seems to be rising back. Personally I think it's been oversold and is not a true reflection of where it should be. The company is making mends and pushing hard to win new business which should help overcome the recent losses associated with the hack.

Dido has resided over a 55% decline in share price from its peak at 4.15 Significant wealth destruction if ever I seen it! It's almost as bad as AIM!!!!

I might actually agree with you there Sallog!

agreed, you always hear about that ONE disgruntled customer who shouts the loudest, but all those MILLIONS of happy customers keep quite.

Should be around 7% dividend if they can maintain it, and company believe they can increase it further, so expect higher returns short term. Consolidation in the sector will drive this higher in the medium term. Would take guts to short this further...

Well we've passed through the storm in the media, so things are quite on that front. I'm guessing most people have already forgotten what happened, so hopefully they won't leave when their contracts come up for renewal. One of the benefits of selling the quad-play offering, makes it less likely for people to switch away.

SP has become much more stable over the last few days, so we seem to have decent support at this level. TalkTalk working hard to fix the underlying problems.

U.K. operator to ramp up spending on cyber security in wake of October hack. TalkTalk revealed on Tuesday that its chief information and security officer (CISO) has been given free rein to strengthen the telco's cyber security capabilities in the wake of October's damaging hack. Speaking at the Total Telecom Festival in London, Charles Bligh, managing director of TalkTalk Business, said that the company had been spending an increasing amount of money on security in the 12 months leading up to the attack. "We obviously had a crime committed against us. We are very disappointed and displeased about that. We will be investing much more in security. It (security) was very much a topic at board meetings; it is even more so now," he said. Bligh added that his CISO is "going to look at all aspects of our security and has complete carte blanche over all investments."

Customer experience is a part of the business, but you seem to be making it a problem through your own interactions with the company. It's easy to switch, just sign-up with a new provider and they handle EVERYTHING. You don't need to get involved. You would then have a hassle free, smooth experience and wouldn't need to come on here moaning about it, but could come on here shouting praise on how effectively they let you leave.

Still very unpredictable. Big rises yesterday but on the decline today. Did notice a few big buys go through so some of the big boys are loading back up. Looks like some of those who bought in before the dividend news might be selling at a profit which is reflected in todays drop. Overall looking good to keep rising.

On the face of it, it does sound positive, but no real reaction in the market. Personally, I'm still not sure and might wait for full year results... but then if HSS proves to be undervalued, it will be too late to get in for any big rise. Think I'll continue to watch for the time being and see which way this moves.

well it can go two ways, up or down, do we really expect them to come out with good news?

Had a read through the admission documents yesterday, and the plan to build a mid-tier player in the digital media/marketing sector. Big buy-outs in the past have consolidated the market, so sounds like good opportunities to build something up by acquiring smaller niche players, with a view of being sold on for a premium later.

Been watching this one for a while with SP hovering at 60p mark which seemed to be the base, but has dropped to todays lows with increased volumes.

Indeed, the fall was much more substantial due to the significant shorts which increased liquidity and drove prices down further as people scrambled to sell... over supply and little demand means only one thing. the news will pass, security will be increased, customers will forget and want to get the best deal, increase quad play penetration, lower churn, increased profits, increased dividends

very quiet here! Never really considered something in this field. Digital media/marketing/SEO. Seems like some are quite competitive spaces so not sure what growth they can expect... I hope its good though...

There's at least a minimum 60% upside on this share, if not more! How many other opportunities are there to make 60% in less than 6 months? Fill your boots!

TalkTalk has already said they will be implementing new security measures on the back of this criminal attack. Give it a month or two and TalkTalk is likely to have much more secure systems than BT and Sky. Combined with their new offers, new customers will be joining TalkTalk in their droves! No wonder Dido bought another £100k of shares

I once heard that a certain large mobile telecom provider was threatening to move into the fixed line space, if BT were to moved into their space.... well guess what happened... lets hope their retaliation involves buying talktalk at these dirt cheap prices!
