TalkTalk discounts Superfast broadband to £5 per month
TalkTalk has cut the price of its Superfast Fibre Broadband service to £5 per month, for the first 12 months (rising to £17.50 for the next 6 months and £19.50 after that). New subscribers will be able to take up the offer until the end of June, which includes a wireless router, unlimited usage, internet security and free calls to other TalkTalk users. A line rental charge of £17.70 per month gets added to this, and a one-off £25 connection fee may also apply. The new deal masks an underlying increase of £2 for the new F-Secure security, an optional addition to all packages which customers can opt to remove. Meanwhile, Sky Broadband is increasing its one-off activation fee for new subscribers of its superfast Sky Fibre package from £35 to £39 from June.

Sky Broadband has moved to increase the one-off activation fee of its superfast capable Sky Fibre (FTTC) packages from £35 to £39, which will be introduced from 10th June 2016.

We should point out that this fee usually only applies to new subscribers, while strangely Sky Broadband still charge a Sky Fibre activation fee of £50 to their existing / upgrading customers. The charges apply to all three of their Sky Fibre packages.

It’s worth pointing out that the charge is less than the £49 fee that BT levy and the £50 attached by TalkTalk to their comparable service.
