Thousands join TalkTalk broadband

More than 30,000 people signed up to broadband services from TalkTalk in the third quarter of 2009, it has been reported.

An increasing number of people are signing up to TalkTalk's broadband service, it has been revealed.

People seeking out top broadband deals may be interested to note that TalkTalk - which is owned by the Carphone Warehouse - added some 36,000 customers to its roster between July and September 2009.

With a total of 4.15 million customers, such growth was partially attributed to the brand sponsoring ITV reality show The X Factor.

Chief executive Charles Dunstone stated that such a performance has seen the organisation raise its end-of-year forecast, the second time in two months that this has happened.

"TalkTalk Group's brand profile, value for money proposition and customer service have continued to generate real momentum in the market," he pointed out.

Britons wishing to compare providers in an effort to obtain the broadband best deals may be interested to note O2 recently reduced prices on its pay-as-you-go mobile broadband dongle.
