TalkTalk Broadband

TalkTalk Essentials is the basic home phone and broadband solution from TalkTalk, providing customers everything they need to get set up and get online for less.

With TalkTalk Essentials, you get with the bare necessities; get speeds of up to 8Mbps and a 40GB monthly download limit along with unlimited Evening & Weekend calls (01, 02 and 03 as well as 0870/0845 numbers) for just £6.99 a month so you don't pay for services you either already have (like security software and firewall subscriptions) or might not necessarily want to have all the time (like extra downloads or anytime calls).

You can also customise your TalkTalk Essentials package with any number of TalkTalk Broadband Boosts including:

Super Secure Boost (£2 a month): TalkTalk Online Security is provided by F-Secure, and allows you to safeguard up to three PCs at once.

International Boost (£2 a month): Anytime landline calls to 36 international destinations.

Mobile Saver Boost (£2 a month): Get a 50 per cent discount on those calls and save a bundle. A connection fee of 7p applies to all calls.

Calling Features Boost (£4 a month): Add additional voice call options such as Three Way Calling, Call Waiting, Call Diversion, Ringback, and Reminder.

Turbo Boost (£4 a month): if your phoneline is capable of speeds faster than 8Mbps, then adding the TalkTalk Turbo Boost could improve the performance of your connection, up to a theoretical maximum of 24Mbps.

Mega Download Boost (£4 a month): doubles your monthly download limit from 40GB to 80GB – ideal for families.

Anytime UK Calls (£4 a month): Chat whenever you like with unlimited calls to UK landlines (beginning with 01, 02 and 03 as well as 0870/0845) for up to 60 mins at a time.

The best thing about TalkTalk Broadband Boosts is that there is no long-term obligation – you add them to your TalkTalk Broadband Essentials as and when you see fit. It may be that you want to take advantage of 1/2 price calls to mobiles or Anytime calls at a particuler time, e.g. if your children are at university or your partner is away on business.
