Internet and phone provider TalkTalk UK has officially begun taking registrations for its new Fibre Optic Boost upgrade. The broadband service add-on, which will use FTTC technology to offer download speeds of up to 40Mbps (plus uploads of up to 2Mbps), was revealed without much fanfare last December 2010 (here).

Little is known about the optional upgrade, which will be made available to both new and existing customers, although some sources indicate that an extra monthly fee of +£12 could be charged on top of what customers already pay. However, finalised pricing is not yet known.


TalkTalk claims to be currently rolling out its "Fibre Optic coverage" as it looks to make it "available to the majority of homes in the UK". Customers wishing to see when the upgrade will be available, and what speed they can receive, should be able to find out below.
