TT trying to persuade me to upgrade.

[Jon Mac]

I don't need any help, but just need a bit of information.

I've recently been upgraded to Fibre 35, and so far all is well, but I keep getting emails, texts and phone calls, trying to persuade me to upgrade to full fibre at no extra cost, but there is no landline telephone included.

That would mean I would need to take on a Mobile phone contract at extra cost, as I currently have a basic PAYG mobile phone which wouldn't serve my current needs.

I wonder if anyone knows how soon TalkTalk will stop supplying the current PSTN lines, and force everyone onto full fibre, and will they then provide a VOIP phone service, which they don't at the moment.

Is TalkTalk TV supported by the full fibre service ?

Thanks.

Fibre 35 is quite fast enough for my needs, I'll hang on until FTTC is discontinued, and check out the options at that point.

Of course if you need more speed there is still the Fibre 65 product - but I would agree with other advice if you're worried about landline wait until the VoIP products come along, I understand they are being worked on.  The Full Fibre Side of Talk Talk in terms of customer facing details, accounts etc still is very much a work in progress - the service is great but the customer service back end needs work

Thanks for that, I've come to realise recently, that is is cheaper these days to take out a Mobile phone contract with unlimited data, than to pay TT prices, I can get unlimited data, unlimited minutes, and unlimited text, for £26 a month, £10 cheaper than I'm paying to TT.

It doesn't carry Talktalk TV and the VOIP are only at the trial stage, @Jon Mac.

I'd wait until the whole thing has matured unless you are prepared to be a guinea pig. They are hopeless at setting up the Account side of it too at the moment.
