What are the different TalkTalk broadband packages?

TalkTalk offers a range of home broadband (including phone) and TV packages for you to choose from. 

Phone services  

TalkTalk doesn’t currently offer any specific broadband and phone packages. Instead, a phone service is included with  all of the company’s broadband packages. Any calls you make are simply charged at the standard rate, on top of your package and line rental costs. 

However, there are some ‘calling boost’ options that you could add to your standard TalkTalk package. These don’t have any tie-in period, so you can dip in and out of them each month. 

The call boosts include:

Unlimited UK Calls: Unlimited calls to UK mobiles and landlines 24/7.
International Max Calls Boost: 1,000 minutes to landlines and mobiles in 55 countries, including Poland and India, to standard price numbers. Plus, discounted rates to all international destinations.
Voicemail Plus: Personalised greeting, extra storage and remote access to your voicemail.
Mobile Minutes Boost: Unlimited calls from your landline to UK mobiles for Plus TV customers.

There are two key TV and broadband packages from TalkTalk:

TV Lite Box:  This includes over 80 Freeview channels, 30 entertainment channels and seven-day TV programme catch up. You can also pause and rewind live TV and the package comes with TalkTalk’s TV Boosts, so you can add and remove premium channels on a flexible 30-day rolling contract. Available TV boosts include Entertainment, Kids, Sky Cinema, Sky Sports and BT Sports.  
TV Plus Box:  This comes with the same features as the TV Lite Box, with the added feature of being able to pause, rewind and record up to 180 hours of programmes.

What about extras?

All of TalkTalk’s broadband packages come with totally unlimited broadband, which means no download limits.
All fixed-rate customers receive a  Super Router, optimised specifically for TalkTalk broadband. Customers also get  HomeSafe  security software for free online protection.

How do I switch to TalkTalk broadband?

TalkTalk says it will have you up and running as quickly as possible, but it may take up to a couple of weeks. If you’re already with an Openreach provider, you’re unlikely to need an engineer visit. That’s because it should be easy enough to swap once your line is connected, by installing the kit yourself when it arrives using the instructions. But TalkTalk will let you know if you need an engineer visit.

If you're with  BT, EE,  Plusnet  or Sky, TalkTalk can cancel your contract with them once your order has been placed. If you’re still in contract, you may incur charges for early cancellation so you should understand what they are, before signing up to a new contract.

If you’re with Virgin Media or don’t have a phone line, you’ll need a new phone line. TalkTalk will ask you to choose an installation date and time. If you're switching from Virgin Media, wait until your TalkTalk service is live before contacting them, to avoid disruption to your service.
