    When can you cancel your talktalk plan once they start charging for the evening and weekend calls after a year or anytime? Also do you have to pay a connection fee?

    You can cancel your TalkTalk plan at any time (or downgrade to their free Talk 1 plan)

    The free calls have no connection charges.. and of course you can get £30 for joining (see my signature)

    They won't start to charge for the calls - they may start to charge a monthly (it used to be a fiver) but telecomms deals are coming so thick and fast that they'll probably have a better deal (local loop unbundling is coming son). In any account you can switch provider.

    To sum up: evening and weekend calls with Talk Talk are completely free, no subscription, no per minute charge (for the first 70 mins of each call, but you can redial), no connection charge, and, for new customers, free calls to the USA, Canada and Australia.

    By the way, their plan "Talk 1" is also free and gives free weekend calls only, but there's not much point in taking it out as "Talk 2" gives free evening calls too, and is the same price, i.e. nowt.

  • Has anyone got any experience of NTL Broadband?? They are offering a Broadband 512K Package for £17.99/month, 5GB monthly download, free set-up pack.

    Seems the same as Wanadoo package but 5GB instead of 1GB.

    I am very new to all this & am soooo confused as to who to go with 4 Broadband! I don't want any start up costs & am a medium user. Was looking at Talk Talk as well.

    Any thoughts??

    Thanks

    According to their web site, the £17.99 package is only 300k. Ntl generally doesn't seem to put out very competetive products.

    First of all I'm not very technically minded - so please forgive me if you think my question is silly. I'm thinking of signing up for broadband. My current telephone provider is BT. My question is this: Do I have to ask BT to install another line?

    Many thanks

  • No :)

    In fact go to this link and type in your phone number (inc. Area Code) and it will tell you if you can get broadband on your line.

  • After looking into it a bit more (the advice on here is fantastic - cheers guys!) :D I think i'm going to go with the virgin deal for £17.99! then maybe migrate when I have done a little more research!

    I don't have a modem so was looking at getting there broadband starter kit (SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem + 2 filters) for £19.99 - is this a good idea?? (i'm clueless!)  ;D
