Internet service provider iTalk, which is powered by Openreach’s national network, has today announced the arrival of their brand-new “Full Fibre” (FTTP) home broadband packages to complement their existing range of ADSL and FTTC (VDSL2) based packages on older lines. The new tiers are being launched alongside some big price discounts.
The ISP did previously offer some FTTP packages, but they didn’t reach up into gigabit speeds and weren’t always as competitively priced as they needed to be. The new packages aim to correct that and all attach an 18-month minimum contract term, UK support, an included wireless router and an £18.95 one-off setup fee (includes postage cost for the router).
iTalk’s new packages start at £30.99 per month (discounted from £40.99) for average download speeds of 100Mbps, which rises to £34.99 for 300Mbps (£44.99), £37.99 for 550Mbps (£46.99) and £40.99 for their top 900Mbps tier (£54.99).
The only annoyance is that the provider fails to mention the upload speed of their packages, but we assume they’d be 20Mbps (upload) on the 100Mbps (download) package, then 50Mbps for 300Mbps, followed by 75Mbps for 550Mbps and 115Mbps for 900Mbps (those reflect the capabilities of Openreach’s wholesale tiers).
