TalkTalk Broadband & Phone

Up to 24Mb broadband & free wireless router

This TalkTalk Broadband and home phone package includes a 24Mbps broadband connection with a 40GB monthly data allowance and as you would expect comes with a free wireless router for new customers. Then there are the free anytime local calls as well as unlimited calls at evenings and weekends to UK landlines.

The broadband credentials for this package are standard for the type of connection on offer. You'll be using your existing landline to receive the service so the maximum theoretical speed will be 8Mbps, but in reality you should expect much less depending on your location, with the average being around 4Mbps for UK households.

Upload speeds run at 256Kbps which is also in line with the competition and the free wireless router will allow you to set up a wireless network in your home to connect your Wi-Fi enabled laptop and mobile devices to and take advantage of the broadband connection.

The home phone package means you'll be paying line rental to TalkTalk on top of your monthly package costs, but people with a BT contract will be in the same situation and the prices are always virtually identical between the two providers.

More about TalkTalk Broadband & Phone

This TalkTalk broadband and home phone package is certainly competitive and is ideal for people who want to combine the monthly costs of their internet and home phone calls into a single payment, consequently lowering the costs of both.

The 40GB monthly usage limit may sound restrictive, but in reality only the heaviest of internet users will ever exceed this amount and it doesn't rely on the dodge fair use policies utilised by other broadband providers which can be more restrictive than they first seem.

The cost of making calls will also be considerably reduced, especially if you've got friends and family who live locally and you like to keep in contact with. The inclusive unlimited evening and weekend calls are a bonus and TalkTalk also offer inclusive international calls to 36 countries, meaning chatting on a global scale is not possible for virtually nothing.

Because this pack is referred to as the TalkTalk 'essentials' pack you might think that this suggests a no-frills service, but you'd be wrong and though it offers value for money with its free set up and other freebies it is by no means a third rate package.

The 18 month contract length may also seem long but considering you are committing to a phone line operated by TalkTalk this is comparable with similar packages offered by its competitors. One of the best things about TalkTalk's package deals is the ability to easily customise or augment your existing package using their 'Boost' scheme. For as little as £2 extra a month you can add things like extra GB to your monthly download limit, more speed to your connection or added security for your online transactions.

The best thing about the boosts is that there's no contract, you just pay for it month on month, keeping it if you're happy with the service or getting rid of it if it hasn't worked out for you. In terms of flexibility there are few other broadband providers out there who can match TalkTalk.
