Leading internet service provider TalkTalk is offering its attractive six months free phone and broadband deal for a further month.

Customers signing up for the firm's 24Mb broadband services before September 30th can avoid paying a bill until the seventh month of their 18-month deal.

Only a line rental fee will apply during this period, enabling customers to make significant savings on their internet connection.

Unlimited evening and weekend calls to UK landlines are included in the offer, providing calls last less than 60 minutes.

Even before the added bonus of a free wireless router is taken into account, TalkTalk claims that savings of £154 can be made compared to equivalent packages on offer through other broadband providers.

TalkTalk is to increase its standard monthly line rental fee by 55p from £11.49 to £12.04 on October 1st.
