Internet service provider TalkTalk has launched a new offer which allows members of the armed forces to get access to a year of free broadband.

The company is celebrating Armed Forces Day, which takes place tomorrow (June 26th), by offering troops and their families access to 12 months of free broadband access, as well as free evening and weekend calls to UK landlines.

People who switch to take up the deal will only have to pay £11.49 a month in line rental, as well as the connection fee of £29.99.

Mark Schmid, Communications Director of TalkTalk, outlined on the firm's official blog: "We've decided to get behind British Armed Forces Day by giving away a year's free broadband to those in the Armed Forces and their families.

"They deserve recognition and thanks, and we can play our own small part by putting together this exclusive deal."

TalkTalk is one of the UK's biggest broadband providers, with over four million home phone and broadband subscribers.

    Fair play to TalkTalk. Our soldiers get paid a pittance for what they do.

    No. They know the job b4 they join and the money so its not like they are forced into it. Most of the guys i know love the job accept the wages and understand the risk including a friend who got shot in the face at Afghan but all he wanted to do was get bk out there and join the lads.

    They use their job to milk people for discounts and freebies all the time and they love it as who's going to refuse them the british army? people want to look like they doing a good thing.

    Home schooling families should be the ones who get help with broadband to continue educating our children of the future and continuing to educate our children within the law.

    There are 80,000+ home educating children in this country alone. Many do it because the school system fails them and they have no choice - especially if it's to keep them safe and alive from bullies within schools.

    When will somebody give them a break and support the home educating families?
    Think about it: 80,000+ home edders and growing fast. If they got a discount like this then more home edders would join the provider who supported them.

    INVEST IN OUR CHILDREN NOW FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR BRITAIN
