daz378

 Living on flats fibre 65...broadband is £28  a month...6 pound for stay safe...but £16 a month for telephone this is a common bugbear ...hardly any uses their landline...but I suspect  you have to  have landline..to get broadband... how do I reduce this...threaten to switch

No need to have any calls package if you don't need it.

Ring them and say you can't afford it and what is this 'stay safe'

I am on TT and pay £35 for fibre 65 and unlimited calls

The £16 is for a calls package, just drop that and you'll be on a pay-per-call agreement.

Cancel the £6 protection, not really needed.

Fibre 65 should be available on contract for around £26 which includes the line rental.

Call them and haggle.

Thanks just read the sticky about haggling

Stay safe is  presumably some kind of virus/device protection

Lose the £16 anytime inclusive calls rip-off 'boost'... and the up to 10 device F-secure Staysafe boost unless you use it with kids/idiots who click on to dodgy websites.

You may be able to get TT down to around £25/mth plus regular £3/mth annual hikes in a new Contract in April 25 and 26 if you negotiate well?

If you want a 3rd-party virus/phishing protection, you can pick up a whole-house McAfee licence for about £5 for the year. So £8 a month really is taking the mickey.

Something like this:

Don't bother phoning them just leave and pick a deal from another supplier https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/compare-broadband-deals/

It should be automatic with no contact needed.

Whatever 'stay safe' is doing it certainly isn't helping you stay safe. It's a scam.

SuperSafe is a product powered by F-Secure offered by TalkTalk at a cost of £6 and is in no way a scam, it's an optional product.
