TalkTalk Fibre 65 is the best budget broadband service that TalkTalk offers. It is only £1 more expensive than Fibre 35 and offers double the speed. It’s difficult for us to think of a reason why you would go for Fibre 35 over Fibre 65. They are exactly the same but Fibre 65 is much faster. When you buy Fibre 65, you will be able to connect to your internet as soon as the Black Wifi hub lands at your door. There’s no messing around with engineers and drilling holes in your walls. You just need to plug the router in and away you go. This connection will support 5 devices or more, shopping, streaming, browsing and some gaming but don’t expect to do all of this at once. The download speeds are still low compared with the market.
TalkTalk Fibre 65 is ideal for single occupant households or couples, it’s would be a real push to suggest any more than that. The download speeds can be good depending on where you live. It’s great for someone who is looking for decent speeds with low costs. You really get what you pay for with this service. Very casual gamers may get along with this connection but lag should be expected. It would not be a service for anyone working from home or who needs to rely on their connection to do lots of things at the same time.
This service is identical to Fibre 35, the landline with Fibre 65 is included as part of the service. You will get the black TalkTalk Wifi hub, free TalkTalk to TalkTalk calls and all for £1 more than Fibre 35. This is why we think it is the best budget broadband service from TalkTalk.
TalkTalk Fibre 65 is available for £25 a month on a 24 month contract. Even TalkTalk highlight this service as their “Most Popular” option.
TalkTalk’s Download speeds for Fibre 65 are 55.2Mb but one their website they state that download speeds can range anywhere between 39.5-55.2Mb. This will be depending on your area and the service they can deliver. If you live in a rural area, you can expect the lower end of this. The Upload speeds are similar with a top end speed of 18Mb but a range of 11.7-18Mb. These speeds are not fast by modern day standards but that’s not the point with this service. TalkTalk Fibre 65 is all about accessibility, great price for a good speed. Don’t worry you will be able to do almost everything you need to with this service.
