TalkTalk has always challenged the status quo by launching first of a kind products and services including free broadband at a time when people were paying above the odds and the first network-level parental controls with its HomeSafe product. In 2016 TalkTalk became the first internet provider to scrap separate line rental charges across all its packages and offer a fixed price guarantee with the promise of no broadband price rises during the length of a contract. In addition to offering totally unlimited broadband as standard, TalkTalk has led the way in providing free security and privacy features for all of its customers, while competitors charge extra for these services. In 2012 TalkTalk TV launched, offering a flexible TV service that has quickly become Britain's fastest growing TV service with over 1.3 million customers. TalkTalk recently strengthened its commitment to provide faster, more reliable connectivity by launching its Great Connection Guarantee. This means that new Faster Fibre Broadband customers are free to leave at any time during the first 30 days of their service going live if they're not fully satisfied with their new fibre connection. The Great Connection Guarantee is only be available to customers who are new to TalkTalk and sign up to a Faster Fibre plan. New Fibre customers will also receive a Wi-Fi Hub; with a Wi-Fi signal that can't be beaten by any other major broadband provider, TalkTalk's latest router has been rated as a 'best buy' by consumer champion Which? and recommended by Good Housekeeping. This is the latest demonstration of TalkTalk's commitment to fairness and value, leading the industry as the first and one of the only providers to guarantee customers no mid-contract broadband price rises for up to 24 months.
