All customers can take advantage of TalkTalk’s great connection guarantee which gives you 30 days to try out their fibre broadband with no exit fees.

There’s also the Ultra Fibre Optic deal which with an average download speed of more than 900Mbps is enough to easily support even the busiest of households.

How to get faster TalkTalk Fibre speeds

As mentioned above, your TalkTalk Fibre speed can vary depending on the deal you decide to purchase. If you want a faster fibre speed and you’re able to upgrade in your area, then look to do so, but you might find this is considerably more expensive per month if you are already a TalkTalk Fibre customer. 

If you try to upgrade your TalkTalk Fibre speed, you might actually discover that you have the fastest speed possible. It completely depends on the area in which you live and how far away you are from the green cabinet you are served from - the closer you are to it, the better your fibre speed will be. However, if you’re on the best product available with TalkTalk or any other ISP, and your speed isn’t up to scratch, it’s probably because you are located far from the green cab, in which case, there isn’t much you can do.
