TalkTalk launches 24Mbps broadband deal

Remember that Talktalk uses the old BT copper wire lines to your house. If you live more than a stones throw from the local exchange forget the speed they state. I've paid for 8Mb from them since it started and never get more than an average of about 1.8Mb download speed. That said its still the cheapest for all in line rental, B/band and 24/7 calls but I won't upgrade from a service they can't currently provide.

I am with Tiscali (now part of Talktalk) I pay less £19-99 for B/band 24/7 calls AND line rental! So not much of an offer

Alan Haigh must have a dodgy line as I have been with talk talk for nearly three years and I get 8mb download speeds on my 8mb connection.

I am also only paying £19.99 a month for B/band all calls and line rental!

That said if Talk Talk are offering this package then it shows how much Sky and BT are ripping people off.

I would recomend Talk Talk any day.

As far as the speed goes then it does depend on the state of your line as well as how far you are from your local telephone exchange supposedly.

I am not close to mine I know people living closer getting less speed on their broadband.

I can't work it out from what I can tell this theory is pretty hit and miss.

P.S if you complain about your speeds to your ISP they can boost your speed from their end.

This is how Talk Talk can offer this as a £ 4.00 option on their other packages.
