UPDATE TalkTalk Tweak Broadband Prices and Fibre Hits GBP 5 Per Month

Friday, May 27th, 2016 (1:15 am) - Score 854

Telecoms provider TalkTalk has reduced the price of their ‘up to’ 38Mbps capable “Superfast Fibre Broadband” (FTTC) service to just £5 per month for 12 months (£17.50 for 6 months after that and then £19.50 thereafter), but don’t forget to add the line rental charge of £17.70 per month on top (equivalent of £15.93 a month when pre-paid for 1 year).

The offer, which will be available to new subscribers until 30th June 2016, also includes a wireless router, unlimited usage, parental controls / Internet security and free calls to other TalkTalk customers. A one-off £25 connection fee may also apply (reduced from £50).

However the new discount masks a change in the underlying price for both TalkTalk’s SimplyBroadband and Fibre packages. Previously SimplyBroadband was £7.50 per month after discounts (just for the broadband), but this has now increased to £9.50 per month for new customers. Similarly the entry-level fibre service becomes £19.50 instead of £17.50.

UPDATE 11:46am

We’ve been advised that the £2 increase is for the new F-Secure security, which is said to be an optional addition to all of the Internet packages and customers may remove it if they have their own antivirus once their free months are over. However in our minds anything that’s truly optional should never form part of the main package pricing and TalkTalk’s product pages don’t appear to mention any of this, at least not in an easy to spot way.
