TalkTalk first truly began life in 2003 after its parent company, the Carphone Warehouse (CPW), launched a residential landline service via its Opal platform. The TalkTalk that most people know today began life towards the end of 2004 with the launch of its combined broadband and phone calls bundle (broadband became free in 2006).

Today TalkTalk, which took ownership of AOL UK's customers in 2006, is moving towards greater independence from CPW and recently completed the acquisition of Tiscali UK, which catapulted them into a position of being the second largest broadband provider in the market with over 4.1m subscribers.

Since then TalkTalk has also become an outspoken critic on issues, such as opposition to the disconnection of illegal file sharing “suspects” and the 50p next generation broadband tax. Naturally we wanted to know more about TalkTalk’s current position on these issues and have conducted a short interview with the ISP to gain a few answers.
