Starting from today customers can sign up to TalkTalk's fast broadband service for as little as £17 per month, making it once again the UK's cheapest broadband provider.

It's the same deal they offered earlier this year. However, this time TalkTalk have gone even further by extending monthly price reductions to other broadband services.

TalkTalk's fastest fibre is available for just £27.50 per month. With speeds of up to 76Mb, this package is now one of the cheapest and fastest broadband packages around.

The offers are only for a limited period, the Fast Broadband offers are expected to end on 12th July and the Faster Fibre deals will expire on 31st May. So anyone interested will need to act fast.

These offers can't be accessed through TalkTalk directly, but are available when signing up via Choose.

More on the deals

The £17 per month broadband service offers speeds of up to 17Mb and is part of a 12-month contract. The service can also be bundled with either TalkTalk's basic TV package or the TV Plus package for just £24.

Both include the standard Freeview channels and the TV Select boast, which grants access to an additional 13 channels, including Sky 1 and Comedy Central, and a TV box worth £25.

TalkTalk's mid-tier fibre plan, which runs at speeds up to 38Mb, is also included in the latest offering of low-priced plans, for £22.50. This is based on a slightly longer contract than the basic broadband deals though, 18 months instead of 12.

Also, the deal for the ISP's fastest fibre deal, 76Mb, mentioned above, is based on an 18-month contract too.

Both fibre plans can be bundled with the same TV packages outlined above. The 38Mb fibre can be combined with the basic TV package or the TV Plus plan for £29.50 per month. While the 76Mb package with either TV package is £34.50.

All inclusive pricing

Besides the low prices, another advantage of taking broadband with TalkTalk is that the ISP uses fixed-priced contracts. Prices are guaranteed to stay the same during the minimum contract period, meaning no nasty price hikes.

What's more, there are no upfront fees charged for things like activation or installation and the price of TalkTalk's wireless routers are also included in the packages for free too.

Extras: HomeSafe and more

All packages include TalkTalk's HomeSafe online protection service for one device. HomeSafe adds an extra layer of security when browsing the web and notifies users when it's safe to bank online. It also has built-in anti-virus and identity protection.

Landline rental is included in all the broadband and fibre deals mentioned here although there's no free talk time.

One of the big benefits of TalkTalk's services though, is how easy it is to customise packages. Additional services can be added or removed monthly, including - landline call packages and call features like call barring.

Plus, those taking broadband or fibre with TV can add or remove channel subscriptions month by month too, including premium channel packs like Sky Sports and Sky Cinema.

TalkTalk back on top?

The ISP has had a rough time recently amidst stories about further security breaches and poor customer service standards.

Perhaps the company's efforts to keep prices as low as possible, and for as long as possible, will go some way towards repairing the damage of such events and move the focus back to what TalkTalk does best - low prices.
