    Hi Guys,

    TalkTalk do not "completely take over your line" the line is connected to TalkTalk equipment in the exchange but it is still maintained by BT Openreach. The line can be re-connected to BTs network by a number of providers should you wish to move from TalkTalk at any time.

    Cheers

    All true but it will still cost a connection fee or a long contract to get reconnected to BT (although not as long as TalkTalk's) and it will not be possible to get an ADSL deal going until after the transition to a BT line so there will be a period with no broadband which again will incur either a connection fee or a long contract.

    There are cost implications in moving away from TalkTalk and as this is a money saving forum it s only fair to point that out.
