TalkTalk Telecom : ultrafast broadband now available for new customers in selected areas

TalkTalk, the UK's leading value for money connectivity provider, today announced that ultrafast broadband will be available to new customers in select locations across the country.

The Faster 150 Fibre and Faster 300 Fibre Fixed Price Plans, which use the latest G.fast technology from Openreach and offer speeds 30 times faster than standard broadband, were previously only available for existing customers.

With speeds of up to 150Mb, Faster 150 Fibre is ideal for extra busy households with a need for high-speed internet, particularly if they have many connected devices being used at the same time. As with all of TalkTalk's Fixed Price Plans, usage is totally unlimited and the price is fixed for the length of a contract, with the guarantee of no mid-contract price hikes.

As more and more connected devices increase the demand for faster internet, TalkTalk's Faster 300 Fibre delivers speeds of up to 300Mb, giving customers the opportunity to future-proof their homes with even higher speed internet.
