TalkTalk also regularly offers exclusive deals and special offers for new customers, so there’s always something extra to enjoy on top of the brand’s already reasonable rates and simple service.

Switching to TalkTalk fibre broadband from another provider should be easy – simply choose your preferred package and extras and the brand will let your current supplier know about the move and make all necessary arrangements. However, if you are currently with Virgin Media, or any other provider that does not use the Openreach network, you will have to let your current provider know you are leaving.
TalkTalk broadband usually takes around two weeks to set up.
If you don’t have a suitable phone line installed at your home (TalkTalk requires this to be their own brand, rather than a BT line) an engineer will need to visit to install one. This is a quick and simple process, though it’s important to check with your landlord if you rent your property, to make sure it’s okay to go ahead with the work.
Your TalkTalk router will arrive in time for your landline installation appointment, and your engineer will set this up to get you connected. If you’ve ordered TalkTalk TV as part of your package, this will also be installed.
If your property already has a TalkTalk line installed, it’s usually possible for you to self-install your router, with support from customer services, if required.
