About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
EDIT: if you click to talk talk direct direct through TCB rather than the compare. You get £150 TCB and £125 voucher. Better deal. Actually the best deal for 500mb broadband. Works out about £20 per month. Cheaper than the Vodafone deal posted on here.
I posted a similar deal going direct with talk talk where you get amazon prime included
I believe this is a much better deal and works out cheaper if TCB pays out and you get the voucher.
Going through TCB compare. They are offering £125 voucher and £89 TCB. Effective price is about £23.
Factor in, it’s only 18 month contract and you get the Amazon eero pro 6 included, which is a top router.

sorted byPrime is worth £95 a year (good for people that use prime a lot), and no price rise in contract doesn't sound too amazing initially, but when you get down and do some calculations, based on the crazy inflation rates we're seeing, the price rise next April is likely around 15%, so that's £5.25 extra per month, for 12 months that £63 extra, then when we get to April 2024 there'll be another price rise, don't know the inflation rate by then but we'll need to pay at least another 3 or 4 months at that new price until the contract ends.
It really all depends whether the £127.50 TCB cashback will be successfully paid, pretty confident the £125 voucher will be delivered, but if TCB cashback for whatever reason failed to come through, then ordering over the phone will be the better deal.
Is the no price rise promise offered to you right away, or do you have to ask for it? and is it written in black and white in your contract? (so there'll no backing out from TalkTalk).
Has anyone TCB tracked yet? (edited)
Talktalk calling it "install" makes it sound like you'll need engineer visit and drill walls/run cables/install ONT etc, if people are already on Openreach FTTP they should just call it "transfer/takeover", plug in new router on activation date.

Hi there
If the giftcard is not used in the purchase of the Fibre500 or Fibre900 and is provided after the fact then yes it will be a bonus

Thanks for the reply.
Just to confirm then, the £150 TCB cashback on the TCB webpage for Fibre500 or Fibre900 is valid...and won't be affected by any giftcard TalkTalk may also offer in addition to the TCB cashback?

Hi Matt
As the offer is not shown on Topcashback's page you would only receive the cashback for the Full Fibre 150 , 500 or 900, any further giftcards received are not generated by us, if you do make a purchase through this offer and no cashback has tracked please free to get back in touch or to lodge a claim for missing cashback and we would be happy to help

Hi.
I note the current TCB cashback offer for new customers taking out a contract with Talk Talk for both their Full Fibre 500 and Full Fibre 900 shows as £150 cashback.
However, when clicking through to TalkTalk to purchase, the landing page also notes an offer of £125 giftcard.
Please can you confirm the current offer for new customers purchasing Full Fibre 500 or 900 is £150 cashback through TCB and £125 giftcard through TalkTalk?
I am aware of at least 2 TCB members who have clicked through for this offer but since Friday 18th Nov but that so far no cashback from TCB has tracked.
In light of the above, please can you confirm the current offer showing from TCB is as noted above?
Many thanks (edited)
I currently have 145mb with Sky (but has been out of contract for couple months), and has been looking at the best deals for 500mb packages, the previously posted Vodafone deal seemed the best, but Voda uses openreach and limits my area to 200mb due to "capacity issues", so instead of £30 with various voucher/cashback for 500mb I will only get 200mb, so less value for money.
So TalkTalk does offer the full 500mb and 900mb for my address (checked using their official website checker), their website is offering amazon prime for 1 year, which is good, but after finding the TCB broadband compare website, with the voucher and cashback this is definitely better.
So just a few questions:
1) what retailers is the £125 voucher for? the TCB broadband compare website is so vague with the details? just says "You'll be sent instructions by email on how to select your £125 voucher 90 days after your service activates. You'll then have 90 days to claim it." So is it a pre-paid card? any specific retailers only?
2) will the £89 cashback automatically track on the main TCB website? anybody have previous experience of completing orders on the TCB BB Compare website and got the full cashback? can you raise a claim if it fails to track?
3) I still need to give 31 days notice to leave sky, so can only join TalkTalk at least 31 days later, can the activation/take over date be set 31 days in the future?
thanks for any help or info.
EDIT: I noticed the post above, and have also checked the tcb talktalk page, it's currently showing £127.50 cashback, and when clicked through to the talktalk website it's also showing the £125 voucher, and even showing the 4 eligible retailers for the voucher. So is it not better just go via the TCB Talktalk page and complete the order that way? (so avoid the TCB BB Compare page altogether). (edited)
£30.99 for 500mb is actually pretty good, are you an existing (long time?)customer? if Sky offered me that speed for that price I probably would have stayed and don't have to waste time/effort/energy comparing different providers, 19 years diamond vip customer but nothing like that price! (edited)
if you sort reviews by newest first, most of the bad reviews happened in 2021 or before, many mentioned it takes months (like over a year to 18 months?!) for the cashback to be paid, some say it gets rejected etc.
Looks like it's more prudent and safer to order over the phone and get the 1 year amazon prime + no in contract price rise instead, hates the worry/hassle of having to chase vouchers/giftcard/cashback.
I've just ordered TT Broadband (150) over the phone but have been informed that the monthly charge will increase each year from April 2023 by CPI + 3.7% ?????
Also, I will not be using Eero 6 device, since I have a full Ubiquity Unify setup - has anyone tried that - any issues?
Weirdly, Talktalk doesn't even come up for me using the linked TCB broadband comparison!?
It's always a worry with any deal that requires a big chunk of cashback to make it worthwhile. The £125 voucher should be quite straight forward, whereas with cashback, there's always the issue of whether it tracks, and then is it the correct amount, and finally they might still decline it several months down the line.
anyways long story short, couldn't get any good deals even as a Sky 19 years diamond vip customer, have now given 31 days notice and cancelled the sky tv, just need to order a new fttp 500mb package from a new provider and they'll takeover in around 2 weeks.
Hence why I'm closely following this deal, tbh this Talktalk deal looks like the best bet for me in terms of speed and price, because vodafone limits my area to 200mb, and virginmedia means all the upheaval of drilling walls or even dig up stuff, using an ISP on Openreach fttp is the most convenient for me. (edited)
again long story short, couldn't/didn't get any new deals/offers from Sky, so I will put in an order with TalkTalk tomorrow.
Just following this deal thread to see if people are sorting out the tracking problems, so weighting up whether to order online or over the phone...
the takeover/install date is what I worry next, sky tv requires 31 days notice to cancel, but for fttp broadband it's only 14 days (but you don't actually cancel the broadband, because that means sky put a cease on the line which makes it much more difficult for the takeover), the sky advisor I spoke to just told me just go ahead and order with a new provider and the new provider will initiate an active line takeover usually around 2 weeks.
so people are saying if you order online from TalkTalk their install date is 22nd/end of Dec? I can imaging if you need Openreach engineer visit then that's the waiting time, but what about for people who already have active FTTP lines, surely the takeover should be quite easy and done in around 2 weeks i.e. just after the 14 days cooling off period. (edited)
Not a good omen/start to Talktalk if they can't handle a simple transfer like this, and still cashback not tracked.
Personally unless sky calls me back in the next 2 days and give me an amazing offer to stay, I'm leaving and will take advantage of all the black friday offers, and Talktalk on paper is the best deal for me, but if the cashback still doesn't track then I'm leaning towards ordering over the phone and take the £95 amazon prime + no in contract price increase (worth about £63). (edited)
So, I will have to call TT tomorrow. Although I WFH 100% I think Fibre150 should be enough (currently have DL33/UP10) and still a big upgrade for the same price I currently pay Vodafone.
Quick Questions:
- does TT offer external IP or CGNAT ??
- Do I understand correctly, if I get the contract through the phone call, I get NO inflation price increases - how does that work?
- Does Amzn Prime require a new account or existing can be extended?
thanks all!
I noticed it last night on the main talktalk page new.talktalk.co.uk/ it shows the "FULL FIBRE PLUS
AMAZON PRIME ON US" offer, but once you input your postcode to check what services are available, in the next page, it no longer mention amazon prime, instead it's the same promo as this deal "£125 reward card included".
when you click on it, unlike on the tcb compare wesbite, it clearly tells you what retailers are available.
So is the amazon prime offer no longer available when ordered online? or is it still available when ordering over the phone? still not fully decided which route to take
I suppose the £125 reward card is better than £95 prime, but as before ordering over the phone people can get the no in-contract price rise promise.
