UFO is a Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) broadband package, meaning that 100% of the cables connecting your home to the network are fibre optics rather than having fibre cables to the cabinet and the older copper wires between the cabinet and your home.
TalkTalk UFO is currently only available in select areas of the UK as tests, however, should be available elsewhere in the future.
If you opt for TalkTalk UFO, you’ll have to have engineers out to get you up and running. This is because the cables may need to be installed underground so a small trench will have to be dug through your driveway or garden. Alternatively, it may be possible to use the existing Openreach overhead poles.
There are a few things you’ll have to bear in mind when it comes to the installation process:
It’s estimated that a loss of broadband connection could cost a business over £900 per hour so it’s important that homeworkers have a strong broadband connection and high enough speeds. With an increase in flexible working in the modern world, TalkTalk offers a broadband package tailored to those working from home.
The Homeworker broadband gives you a second broadband line with an average download speed of 67Mbps and increased upload speeds. This makes sure that your wifi connection won’t be affected by other household members streaming, gaming, or browsing on multiple devices.
You’ll also benefit from business-grade support, available 7 days a week. This includes help with your connection, tech support, help with your router, and any other broadband and landline-related issues.
All you have to do to switch to TalkTalk’s Homeworker broadband is call 0800 049 2371.
Whichever TalkTalk broadband deal you opt for, there is a range of extras you can add to personalise your package.
If you’re looking into switching to TalkTalk, you might also be considering upgrading to TalkTalk TV. Adding this to your broadband deal costs just £4 extra per month and comes with:
In the past, TalkTalk TV has offered its own, personalised ‘boosts’ with extra channels and packs to choose from, however, it has since stopped these and opted to work with NOW TV instead. Because of this, TalkTalk broadband and TV customers can receive discounts on NOW TV passes.
Pass | Entertainment | Cinema | Sports | Boost |
---|---|---|---|---|
Original price | £9.99 | £9.99 | £33.99 | £3 |
Discounted price | £5.99 | £6.99 | £20 | £1.98 |
Discount | 40% | 30% | 41% | 33% |
When you sign up for TalkTalk TV, you’ll be sent a voucher to put towards your chosen pass. Simply enter this code when you subscribe for the pass and you can start watching through your TV box or the NOW TV app.
TalkTalk has promised that the price of its broadband and TV packages won’t increase mid-contract. Despite this, many customers have recently seen an increase and, from 2022, the prices will continue to increase every April in line with inflation (plus 3.7%).
They’ve instead introduced ‘Fixed Price Plus’. This will mean that the annual increases won’t apply throughout their contract and there will be no increase to the RRP after your contract is up. However, this will cost an extra £2 per month unless you opt for one of the Fibre Ultrafast packages, which come with Fixed Price Plus included.
All of TalkTalk’s Ultrafast broadband packages come with added ‘SuperSafe’ broadband security from F-Secure.
With SuperSafe, you have:
If you’re not on an Ultrafast broadband package, you can add Supersafe for an extra £4 per month to stay safe online.
If one of the rooms in your house has a weak wifi connection, TalkTalk might suggest installing extenders to boost the signal and increase speeds in rooms further away from the router.
Each kit is made of two parts: a network connector and a wifi extender.
The network connector connects directly to your router via an ethernet cable to help boost the signal. The wifi extender then connects wirelessly to the connector from wherever you plug it in to improve your connection. You can add as many extenders as you like to make sure your TalkTalk WiFi connection is as strong as it can be.
