TalkTalk takes on BT with cut price broadband deals ahead of Black Friday 2018

Black Friday 2018 has come early with TalkTalk setting one of its big deals live right now.

Up until November 29 those looking to save big on broadband can take advantage of two TalkTalk offers.

TalkTalk’s Faster Fibre broadband offers average download speeds of 36Mb and usually costs £33.50 a month.

But for Black Friday 2018 TalkTalk are offering this package for £22.50 when you sign up to an 18 month contract.

This comes with a Wi-Fi hub, offers unlimited usage and customers won’t have to fork out on any set-up fees.

In comparison, the fibre optic broadband package BT offers with the same download speed currently costs £7.49 a month more.

It also includes a £29.99 one off fee. Over the course of 18 months this would be £164.81 more than the TalkTalk offer.

However, it’s important to note the BT deal also comes with a £70 reward card.

This card is preloaded with funds that BT says can be spent at most merchants that display the MasterCard logo.

It is only available to new customers.

Those who take advantage of the TalkTalk offer can also get Sky Cinema access for just £8 a month with a TalkTalk TV Lite Box.

Describing the deal, a TalkTalk release said: “As part of its efforts to provide fairer broadband for everyone, consumers purchasing TalkTalk’s new deals will be able to take advantage of its Great Connection Guarantee.

“This means that new Faster Fibre Broadband customers are free to leave at any time during the first 30 days of their service going live if they’re not fully satisfied with their new fibre connection.

“New fibre customers will also receive the industry-leading Wi-Fi Hub. With a Wi-Fi signal that can’t be beaten by any other major broadband provider, TalkTalk’s latest router has been rated as a ‘best buy’ by consumer champion Which? and has been recommended by Good Housekeeping readers.

“TalkTalk’s Black Friday sale is the latest demonstration of its commitment to fairness and value, leading the industry as the first and one of the only providers to guarantee customers no mid-contract broadband price rises for up to 24 months.”

The TalkTalk Black Friday 2018 sale also includes savings on their Fast Broadband package.

This usually costs £27 a month but TalkTalk right now are offering it for £17.95 if you sign up to an 18 month contract.

The Fast Broadband package offers average download speeds of 11Mb.

In comparison BT’s standard broadband package, which offers average download speeds of 10MB, costs £24.99 a month for 18 months.

This also requires a £29.99 upfront fee – meaning the price over 18 months is £146.71 more than TalkTalk.

However, like with BT’s Superfast Fibre package, their standard broadband package also comes with a BT reward card for new customers.

But this time round it’s loaded with £60 worth of funds instead of £70.
