Customers signing up for TalkTalk's broadband deals online have another week-and-a-half to take advantage of a free connection offer.

The internet service provider (ISP) is currently hooking up all new subscribers for free, saving them £29.99 on their start-up costs, providing they register on the internet.

However, the offer is only set to run until July 31st, meaning consumers may have to act quickly to avoid any unnecessary additional expense.

Savings can be made on both the TalkTalk Essentials broadband package and the premium offering TalkTalk Plus.

The former provides 24Mb download speeds, a 40GB monthly usage allowance, free evening and weekend calls to UK landlines and a complementary wireless 'G' router, all for £6.99 per month plus line rental.

For those who want even more from their broadband connection, TalkTalk Plus offers discount calls to UK mobile phones and unlimited internet downloads for just £14.99 per month.

The ISP claims that both broadband deals allow consumers to make significant savings compared to rival providers, even before the current free set-up promotion is taken into account.
