Broadband Speed Code of Conduct

TalkTalk is a signatory to Ofcom's voluntary Broadband Speed Code of Conduct. The code aims to:

  • Govern the information we give you around the broadband speed you'll get when you sign up with us.
  • Protect you if you don't get the minimum speed we quoted during sign up.
  • Define the conditions under which you can terminate your contract without penalty.

We want to be confident that the speeds we promise you are accurate, so the speeds we quote during sign up are based on actual performance data from your line rather than estimates where possible.

Select which option applies to you below for more information.

The Broadband Speed Code of Conduct after 1st March 2019 protects you if your Throughput speed is lower than what we promised when you signed up with us.

 

Terms and conditions

You can register a complaint under the Broadband Code of Conduct at any time from the day your TalkTalk services go live. To be released from your contract without penalty:

  • Your throughput speed must be below the minimum guaranteed download speed provided to you at the point of sale. Remember, if you're a new customer, your line will go through a stabilisation period. This usually lasts for around 10 days and it's normal for your speeds to fluctuate during this time.
  • You must give TalkTalk 30 working days to try to resolve any network issues or problems with your line. 

 

How to check your speed

You can check your current broadband speed using our speed test. Details about your expected broadband speeds are in your order confirmation email, including:

  • Your minimum guaranteed download speed
  • Your maximum upload/download speed
  • Your typical upload/download speed range
  • The upload/download speed we advertised for your package

If you want more information about what these speeds mean for you, read our guide that explains the speeds you need for different online activities.
