*Average speeds are based on the download speeds of at least 50% of customers at peak time (8pm to 10pm). Speed can be affected by a range of technical and environmental factors. The speed you receive where you live may be lower than that listed above. You can check the estimated speed to your property prior to purchasing.

Some broadband providers may increase monthly prices each year during your contract. Please refer to individual broadband provider's terms and conditions before signing up.
TalkTalk is the UK’s fourth largest broadband provider, with almost three million customers. It's garnered a reputation for offering good value broadband, with speeds that are comparable to the likes of BT, EE, and Sky, but that can be significantly cheaper.
It offers a TV service too, which you can bundle with broadband, and is also cheaper than the more full-featured TV offerings from BT, Sky, and Virgin Media.
Like the overwhelming majority of UK broadband providers, TalkTalk runs on BT's Openreach network. That means it's very widely available and you're almost certain to be able to get it.
TalkTalk offers well-priced broadband, phone and TV packages, with great add-ons. If you're on a budget or just want to get the most for your money, TalkTalk is well worth a look.

TalkTalk TV has fewer channels and special features compared to Sky and Virgin Media – but it’s much cheaper than them, after all
Weaker customer service than other providers – historically, TalkTalk has had a shaky reputation in this area, with Ofcom reporting suggesting it is still struggling compared with its rivals.
The speed you can get with TalkTalk broadband depends on the package you opt for.

TalkTalk lets you combine several products in a money-saving bundle, which also offers the convenience of having a single bill to pay each month. But unlike the likes of BT, EE and Virgin Media, TalkTalk no longer offers a mobile phone service.
TalkTalk bundle options that you can get, though, are:
Broadband only (only available with full fibre products)
Broadband and home phone
Broadband and TV
Broadband, home phone and TV
TalkTalk TV customers can also add NOW TV and Netflix to their TV package in the form of flexible add-ons that operate on a flexible, one-month basis.
TalkTalk broadband deals tend to be 18 months long. If this is too long a commitment, you can find a small range of other providers offering 12 month broadband contracts. This includes NOW, Cuckoo, Plusnet and Onestream.
Yes – all its Full Fibre plans provide pure broadband, so they don’t need a phone line to work.
However, if you want either the fast or ultrafast fibre package, you’ll need a landline. Luckily it’s included in the deal, and you don’t need to buy a call plan if you don’t want to. For alternative options, it's easy to check if you need a landline for broadband providers in your area.
One big benefit of TalkTalk is the option to bundle your TV and broadband together to save money. It’s easy to add TalkTalk TV to your fibre broadband package.
The TalkTalk TV Box comes with plenty of streaming apps and on demand players, as well as more than 70 live channels – all organised in one easily-accessible place.
You can customise it to your liking, by adding and removing services like Netflix, NOW TV and Prime Video, as well as access over 10,000 apps on Google Play. With its wide range of TV add-ons that you can choose and change every month, it’s very flexible.
As with most providers, sweeteners like free gift cards are usually reserved for new TalkTalk customers.
Nevertheless, if you’re an existing TalkTalk customer and you’re nearing the end of your contract, you may be able to negotiate a better deal or an upgrade.
Yes. In fact, TalkTalk offers six months of free Fibre 35 broadband for eligible users in partnership with the government and Jobcentre Plus. There’s no obligation to sign up for TalkTalk at the end of the plan.
However, it's only offered through a scheme with Jobcentres. Talk to your advisor if you think you may qualify.

Because TalkTalk uses the Openreach network, there's an excellent chance you'll be able to at least get TalkTalk's standard fibre packages where you live.
But it's fair to say that getting full fibre could be more of a challenge. If you're out of reach of Openreach's network, your best bet is to see if Virgin Media's full fibre service is on offer at your address.
ln the event you live somewhere really remote where fixed line, home broadband coverage is patchy, one alternative could be satellite broadband or 5G home broadband.
