About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Unlimited broadband & line rental equiv £7/mth. MSE Blagged. From Thurs for a week, TalkTalk Essentials* (avail to 85% of UK) is a super hot deal on a 1 year contract...
- You get a £70 Love2Shop voucher (valid at Argos, B&Q, Iceland, Boots & more).
- You need its line rent. Paying £114 upfront for a year is cheapest (or £14.95/mth).
- Half price unlimited download broadband (so £3.25/mth) - good for TV streaming.
- Evening and weekend calls to landlines included (ie the first 60 minutes per call are free).
Assuming you pay the line rent upfront, the total package is £153/yr. Factor the voucher in as cash, and that's £83/yr, equiv to £6.92/mth.

Talk Talk have a terrible reputation for Customer Service - that is, lack of!
So, however cheap it is, I shan't bother - I simply don't want endless hassles .......
Paid £114 upfront for line rental for the year. I only pay £3.25pm for broadband & calls. Offer at the time was free love film instant for the year.I already had that so they gave me free installation on the phone line (£50)
Changed over from Sky & didn't notice any difference in broadband speed.
Couldn't be happier, least i'm not paying Sky for tv I never watch.
If you don't pay upfront it works out at £12.75/month which is what it says in the title

Thanks for pointing that out, would much rather have the cash than the voucher.
Yes they're cheap, and if you have no tech issues (true 99.9% of the time) then it's a good deal.
If you DO have tech issues then you might end up regretting your choice.
Make your own decision :-)
May be worth asking if any neighbours have TT before committing, but I would recommend them. Most problems in the past were about billing after they purchased 3 or 4 large ISP's.
Personally, I don't know Talk Talk because I've never used them, but Virgin Media are, hands down, the worst company I've ever dealt with.
I second that. I worked in their call centre many moons ago when it was NTL. They regularly recruited on mass and they would stick any chimp on the end of a phone with only two weeks training. Many didnt know one end of a keyboard from the other and once they'd gone through their dummys guide to tech support they were up poo creek. Cue very irate customers who had spent £10 on a premium rate line only to be left with no solution and the promise of a callback from another chimp. After one too many death threats from customers who had been passed from one tech to the other I called it a day.
TalkTalk are still as bad as they always have been at Customer Service.
If Customer Service is important to you, then avoid.
However, if you believe you will have no need to contact them - and think everything will go swimmingly - sign up and enjoy cheap Broadband.
Personally, for me, life is too short to spend time giving shoddy Companies my time and efforts.
Otherwise appears a decent deal when it become available.
As it probably changes regularly
I suggest you you give them a
call. They will do all they can to
keep you as a customer so have
all your details to hand.
Anyone who needs a new line or is on a cable line won't get the voucher.
I rang today to ask a few questions and was assured i would get the voucher and free line install, however im not confident it will come true once signed up.
I also got these prices and £50 worth of vouchers which arrived 3 days after I was switched over.
In this case the minimum payment to the service provider (without prepayments) is £18.20 monthly.
Nicojo, what you said was, "line rent upfront ... £153/yr. Factor the voucher in as cash, and that's £83/yr, equiv to £6.92/mth."
£12.75 is the total when you do pay up front, but don't count your cashback before it hatches, as per the hukd rules, I take it someone edited that for you.
Any one knows if this offer only for new customers? Would like to extend my contract with £70 cashback and half price broadband again!!
A mod already changed the title about half an hour ago

plus, because of the quidco offer, i joined today too as cashback is preferable to vouchers.
the only thing i was told, as parting shot from Orange, was that talk talk don't use bt lines so there will be a reconnection fee at some point in the future to leave talk talk. but i figure the savings are worth it, for now. plus,get extra 3% by direct debit via santander current account. plus, by then, we'll all be using mobiles instead of landlines so, stuff 'em!
come one, 6.70 per month gotta be worth a punt, no?

Got charged a compulsory £50 installation fee for Youview box and the 'engineer' wad so useless that he left my house with the box not working, disconnected my wireless network and I spent all evening reconfiguring my network to get it working again! Unfortunately he fitted it while my wife was there and I was at work.
I have been trying to register s complaint with their 'customer services' department since December, but if you are ever dumb enough to use this company, you'll realize that this is an oxymoronic term.
They have not been voted the worst British company for successive years for nothing! Sign the contract in haste and repent in leisure.
Voted stone cold.
Just call and request that they send you the £70 love2shop voucher, if they refuse, ask them to take you to cancellatio department and they will surely sort you out.
