TalkTalk gives 24meg speed to all customers for free

Over the next 4 months all TalkTalk customers will be placed on a 24 Meg speed profile. This means that all new and existing TalkTalk customers will automatically get the fastest speed their line will support, all at no extra cost and with no need to extend or sign a new contract for existing customers.

This industry-beating offer from TalkTalk, the biggest provider of broadband to Britain’s homes, has been made possible through its £500million network investment which now covers over 80% of the population.

During the coming months, TalkTalk engineers will also complete the £10-20m upgrade of the backhaul network, installing Gbit Ethernet fibre between all exchanges. This will ensure a more consistent service during peak times.

Tristia Clarke from TalkTalk commented: “We are all aware of the frustration that comes from a congested internet. Jittery iPlayer, slow gaming and even web pages take an age to load. As people increasingly use the internet to view rich media content, ISPs have struggled to balance the ballooning infrastructure cost with the need to offer compelling propositions in an ever competitive market.

“However, at TalkTalk we have invested in our network to remove all backhaul congestion, the principal cause of slow internet speeds at peak times. So whether you want our Essentials package giving you 40GB of downloads a month, or the high-performing, truly unlimited Pro package, you’ll get the fastest broadband your line will possibly support at the great price you expect from TalkTalk.”
