UK’s leading value for money connectivity provider: Ever since entering the markets in 2000s, TalkTalk has positioned itself as a market leader for providing value for money connectivity to its customers.

The broadband customers of TalkTalk include end consumers (TalkTalk brand), small businesses (TalkTalk business) and resellers (wholesale), which account for 96% of the entire Britain’s population.

Over the previous two years as of FY19, the company has been successful in minimizing costs by cutting down transition costs and making notable savings thereby. Along with this, the shift of focus to a more non-core service provider has enhanced prioritization in making capital investments in different avenues. The self-serving customer service feature of the digital tools and digital incorporated business model of TalkTalk has enabled the network transformation initiatives to leverage the efficiencies of newer technologies by increasing the capacity and decreasing the costs. Moreover, TalkTalk has plans to shift the headquarters to a single campus at Salford from London to reduce the administrative costs.
