Budget UK ISP TalkTalk has introduced a new discount that cuts the price of their hybrid fibre G.fast based Fibre 150 (145Mbps average download, 25Mbps upload) broadband package to just 14 per month for the first six months of service, which then rises to 28 for the remaining part of the 18 month term (39.95 thereafter).

As usual the package price includes phone line rental (standard call rates), an 18-month long contract term, unlimited usage, internet security, nuisance call blocking and their latest Wi-Fi Hub router. The ISP also applies a 30-day connection guarantee, which allows you to leave penalty free within the first month if youre unhappy. TalkTalks website states that theres no set-up fee, but this isnt entirely correct as you do have to pay 4.95 (one-off) for router delivery.

We should point out that the G.fast network currently only covers around 2.8 million UK premises and its also no longer being deployed, with the priority having shifted to FTTP instead. However, given today news from Openreach (here), its also worth noting that if you place an order for this then it may not be installed until 1st March or later due to the impact of the new COVID-19 lockdown.
