New TalkTalk (www.Talktalk.co.uk) customers have until Saturday to take advantage of the provider’s free connection offer and save £29.99.

The deal is available on both of TalkTalk’s broadband bundles; the cheap Essentials package and the high-end Plus package.

The Essentials package offers speeds of up to 24Mb broadband with a free wireless router and a generous 40GB download allowance, plus evening and weekend calls for just £6.99 a month.

Adding TalkTalk’s line rental at £11.49 a month gives you a total of just £18.48 for broadband, home phone and line rental.

If you want “unlimited broadband” downloads and anytime calls, then the Plus package could be the right choice for you.

It offers speeds of up to 24Mb, “unlimited” downloads, subject to a fair usage policy, and a free N router as well as anytime UK landline calls for just £14.99 a month plus line rental.

You can also add a selection of Boosts to your bundle, starting at just £2 a month. Choose from:

• Mega Download Boost for Essentials customers to double your download allowance to 80GB a month, £4
• Super Secure Boost offers F-Secure PC protection for up to three computers, £2 for Essentials customers, free for Plus customers
• Anytime Calls Boost allows Essentials customers to call UK landlines any time of the day of night, £4

• Mobile Saver Boost cuts the cost of mobile phone calls by 50% for Essentials customers, reducing costs to just 6p during the day and 3.5p in the evening, £2 for Essentials customers, free for Plus customers
• Calling Features Boost lets you add a range of calling features to your home phone, including call divert, ringback and reminder calls. £4 for Essentials and Plus customers.

Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “TalkTalk is already one of the UK’s cheapest providers, offering broadband, home phone and line rental for just £18.48 a month.

“Its flexible Boosts are also a great way of customising your bundle. Each Boost works on a rolling monthly basis, allowing you to add, remove or switch your Boosts as your needs change.”
