Thank goodness I left T/Talk over 14 months ago and moved to Plusnet. Only paying approx £12.50 pm for unlimited b/band, free evening/wend calls and line rental all included.

Stephen - no idea where you get them prices from

But according to this: https://www.plus.net/home-broadband

Unlimited Broadband and weekend calls = £15.95 line rental + £2.50 for 1st 12 months then £9.99 after

So that makes it £18.45 per month (1st year) then £25.94 per month afterwards.

I too am pleased I left TalkTalk just over 12 months ago now. But what a palaver! Even though my contract with them was coming to a natural end, the actual hassle of telling them I no longer wanted their services, was an absolute nightmare! I even gave them 30 days notice to say I wouldn't be renewing a contract with them, you' think I'd just cut them off from the exchange lol!

With my Talk-Talk package - Unlimited broadband with free anytime talk-talk to talk-talk calls

£16.70 line rental + £1.57 for 1st 12 month -- then £3.75 afterwards
So 1st 12 months = £18.57 per month then £20.20 afterwards

If you pay your bill within 24 hours of receiving it Talk-Talk also give you a 10% Speedy Payment Discount
Making that £16.53 per month (1st 12 month) then £18.18 afterwards


There is no need to cancel and move to another provider - as they all put there prices up within a few days of each other anyway

My issue was, I just didn't want to be with TalkTalk anymore. I was never impressed with their service to be honest. As I'm a light internet user, I now just use a MiFi so free of the ridiculous monthly line rental for a telephone I never used etc. Plus, I no longer have to put up with a non UK based call centre.

I wonder how long it will be before £20 a month line rental before anything else starts, will be the norm? I know something, I won't be paying that from any fixed landline Company.

Simple I went to retentions at Plusnet to get deal and paid line rental upfront plus got £10 reward for Sky router; so equates to £12.50 per month. Previous posts detail the offer.

There's no point comparing a retention offer with a non-retention offer.

You can get internet cheap. Mine was £132 for landline upfront the £2 per month Internet with ee, so £156 for the year, or £13 a month. Plus last year got an Amazon voucher for setting up. Or go through topcashback. It doesn't pay to stay loyal with any of them anymore

Major changes are coming to call pricing for 084, 087, 09 and 118 numbers on 1 July 2015.

The changes will affect every landline and mobile provider.

TalkTalk is the only major landline provider that has nothing about these changes on their website.
