I am not saying anything about the quality of TALKTALK, but if there are any UK subscribers on this forum using TALKTALK the free upgrade offer will be shown on your online account from Dec 9th until 31st. They are saying that using the free update is for a limited time, and will automatically expire at the end of the period. This should mean that you are not committing to a more expensive service, and genuinely getting something free. It is up to you whether you really believe this and this post is for INFO only
