The plan which will offer free landline calls and broadband until 2010 is call TalkTalk Essentials. The monthly line rental will have both broadband and calls included within it and will include calls to 36 international countries, which will save customers £77.88 over 12 months and will be available to any customers who sign up to this contract between 16th January and 2nd March.

With broadband speeds of up to 8Mbps, a download allowance of 40GB per month and a wireless router offered free with the deal, which contributes toward making it £190 cheaper than BT’s similar offer.
