Pros and cons

Pros

  • Speeds reach 1,000 Mbps on fttp and fttc, matching the median top download speed across broadband providers
  • The range runs from a plain broadband-only tier to the top gigabit fibre tier, so there is a plan for lighter and heavier use
  • A router is provided and arrives ahead of go-live, so no kit needs buying separately
  • Support runs across email, chat and phone in the UK, and the company has traded since 2007

Cons

  • An early termination charge is based on remaining months if you cancel inside the minimum term, so leaving early carries a cost
  • Entry pricing of £33.99 ranks at 85 of 95, so it sits towards the dearer end
  • Top speed of 1,000 Mbps places the brand at 49 of 114 on download speed
  • Service is limited to GB, so the same plans do not run outside the UK

Who it suits

  • Households in the UK whose street can receive fttp and fttc and want gigabit speeds
  • People who want a fixed term from 12, 18 and 24 and accept an early termination charge if plans change
  • Anyone who prefers a supplied router that arrives before the service goes live

Who should look elsewhere

  • Households outside the UK, since service runs only in the United Kingdom
  • People who want a longer committed term, as the listed options stop at the top of 12, 18 and 24
  • Buyers who need a fixed price for the whole term, because prices may rise with advance written notice

Where it sits among rivals

On entry price, iTalk ranks at 85 of 95 providers, with prices starting at £33.99. That places the brand among the higher priced options in the comparison, so the cost of entry is worth weighing against the speed you actually need. The plain broadband-only tier is the cheaper way in when gigabit is not required. On download speed, iTalk ranks at 49 of 114, with a top speed of 1,000 Mbps. The median top download speed across the comparison is also 1,000 Mbps, so the ceiling sits in the middle of the field rather than above it. Put simply, you get a solid gigabit ceiling but not the very top speeds on offer, and price is the weaker side of the trade.

Who runs it

iTalk trades as italk Affiliate Telecommunications Limited, and is based in the UK. It has been trading since 2007, which gives it a long record in the UK broadband market. Support is offered across email, chat and phone, so help is available by phone as well as by email, chat and a help centre. Broadband is the main service on offer.

Frequently asked questions

How much does iTalk broadband cost?+

Prices start at £33.99 for entry, with listed plans covering a plain broadband-only tier, a mid-range fibre tier and the top gigabit fibre tier. On entry price, iTalk ranks at 85 of 95 in the comparison, so shoppers with lighter needs may find the entry tier better value.

What speed does iTalk full fibre give you?+

The top listed plan is the gigabit fibre tier, giving 1,000 Mbps download speed, with a mid-range fibre plan as a step down. iTalk runs on fttp and fttc, so check availability for your street, since the median top download speed across the comparison is also 1,000 Mbps.

How long is the iTalk contract?+

Contract lengths run 12, 18 and 24, giving a choice of shorter or longer commitments, and the listed reference plans share one mid-length term. If you cancel inside the minimum term, an early termination charge is based on the remaining months.

Do I need my own router?+

No separate kit is needed, since a router is provided and arrives ahead of the go-live date. That removes a setup cost and one more box to source before the service starts.

Where does iTalk broadband run?+

Service is limited to GB, so the plans are a UK offer. Anyone outside the UK, or looking for a mobile or satellite connection as a backup, would be better served by a provider such as EarthLink, which lists fttp, 5G and satellite.

Can iTalk prices go up during the contract?+

Prices may rise with advance written notice, which means the monthly figure is not guaranteed to hold for the whole term. Buyers who want certainty should budget for a rise rather than treating £33.99 as fixed.

How do I contact iTalk support?+

Support runs across email, chat and phone, so you can reach the company by phone, email, chat or the help centre. Phone support is the most common route among the providers in this comparison, and iTalk offers it alongside written and instant options.

Which technology does iTalk use?+

iTalk runs on fttp and fttc, so coverage depends on whether your street can receive full fibre or fibre to the cabinet. Households that need cable as well as fibre may prefer Astound, which lists cable and fttp.
