Why choose BT rather than TalkTalk?

With TalkTalk:

only 70% of UK homes can have broadband at no extra cost – the rest pay up to £15 a month (for 8Mb)
you pay £49 more in your first year than with an equivalent BT line and inclusive Evening & Weekend UK calls plan

If you want to switch to BT, you can call TalkTalk now on 0870 444 1820.
