TalkTalk Broadband and Phone

About the deal

With TalkTalk you get to devise your own package, so you only pay for what you really want. All users get a standard Essentials package, and then you add on extras (called "Boosts") which cost either £4 or £2 per month each. If you just want the standard package then you don’t need to take any Boosts. Boosts can be added or removed from your package as and when you want. To sign up by phone call 0800 049 7867.

The standard Essentials package includes:
- Only £6.99 per month!
- Free Wireless Router worth £30 if ordered online
- Up to 24Mbps Download speeds
- 40GB download limit
- Unlimited calls to all UK landlines at Evenings & Weekends
- UK landlines include calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers!
- 1GB online backup and parental controls provided for no additional charge
- Super Internet Security Boost available for only £2 a month (free 30 day trial)
- International calling rates at up to 25% below BT (upgradable for only £2 a month)
- Free connection - worth £30
- 18 Month contract

The Boosts available are:

Each Boost you take costs £4 a month unless otherwise stated, you can add and drop Boosts at anytime, so if you have kids at Uni then you can have half price calls to mobiles when they are away, but when they are back you may drop that boost and maybe take the download plus Boost when they are home using the broadband connection during holidays.

Requires £11.49 TalkTalk line rental (or £12.50 with paper billing option).

Actual speed achievable is dependent on your distance from the telephone exchange. Some customers will not be able to achieve speeds over 8Mb, in this case Speed Boost will not be available.

Price only available in TalkTalk LLU network coverage regions, users outside these areas may still be able to receive the service for an additional £15 a month.

To sign up by phone call 0800 049 7867. Note, wireless router only available online.

Talk Talk now offer a unique "build your own" package for their broadband and phone service where you can choose and tailor your package with TalkTalk’s range of boosts. The idea is quite impressive, and unusually for many telecoms packages, quite simple to understand.

One option is to start with a standard Essentials package (which is a good deal in itself) the twist is that you can add upgrades (known as "Boosts") to your package at any time. The best bit is that the boosts can also be dropped at anytime, so this makes for an incredibly flexible package. All deals listed here can be reduced to the standard deal or expanded to include more boosts at any point during your contract.

The other option is to go with the Pro package, which offers unlimited downloads and faster speeds in the inclusive price.

Unsure whether to sign up? TalkTalk offer a 30 day trial period where you can cancel your chosen package. no questions asked, within 30 days.
