Hi Guys,
I've just renewed by Broadband and Landline contract with Talktalk and I think I've got a good deal. It may benefit some of you whose contract is up or due for renewal. You may get a better deal if you haggle a little bit. I was offered:
TalkTalk Plus Package 12 Months contract:1. Line rental effectively £9.50/month. I paid £114 in advance for 12 months, usual price is £14.50/month.
2.
Anytime Unlimited calls to 01, 02, 03, 0845 and 0870 numbers (max 60 minutes per call as we all know)
3.
Free "International Booster" which is usually £3.50/month. It includes unlimited landline calls to 36 countries including USA, Australia and some EU countries. Full list can be found here:
http://www.talktalk.co.uk/boosts/international-calls4.
Free "Calling Features Boost" Gives you features like Caller Display, Call Divert, Call Waiting, Ringback, Reminder Call and Three Way Calling (to make 3 calls at a time
). Usual price for this feature is £4.10/month
5.
Free Brand New router as I complained the old one is playing up, which isn't though
, it's just too old.
6. Unlimited Broadband for £7.75/month.
So I'll be paying effectively £17.25/month (£9.50+£7.75) for all the above services.
Hope it helps someone

I've managed to drop the price even further, but wasn't given Free "Calling Features Boost" (which wasn't needed at all).
Unlike you, I've been offered TalkTalk Essentials instead, but these boosters are included for free:
Unlimited Evening/Weekend Calls to UK Landlines
Unlimited Calls to TalkTalk Customers
Privacy Pack
International Calls Boost
Anytime UK Calls Boost (also 01, 02, 03, 0845 and 0870 numbers)
Broadband with Unlimited Downloads for £6-50 /paid monthly
New router on top of that.
I also paid £114 in advance for 12 months, plus monthly payment of £6-50.
So I'll be paying effectively £16/month for all the above services.
Not bad I suppose.
The conversation took only 5 minutes. The CS agent was very lenient. I've not heard a single "NO" from a very polite lady.
You will not get anything if you don't ask for it
. I finished the conversation quickly, because I was too scared to think where it would take me if I had kept asking for more
