How long does it take to switch broadband?
Switching to TalkTalk takes about two weeks. This depends on whether you already have a fibre broadband line installed.
Existing line: If you don’t need a new line, you’ll be ready to go within two weeks of placing the order. We’ll send you a new router in the post before your services are up and running
New line: An engineer visit is required if you need a new line installed. The switch will depend on when the visit will occur. You can login to ‘My Account’ or check your welcome pack to seethe engineer’s availability
Switching broadband is usually a smooth process that should cause little interruption. Full Fibre broadband is a little different, as an engineer will trace a new fibre optic line all the way to your home, so you don't need to rely on ancient copper cables. Learn more about how Full Fibre is installed in our installation guide.

Do I need to tell my broadband provider I am switching?
If you’re switching from BT, Sky, PlusNet or EE, you won’t need to contact your current provider. Once you’ve placed your order with TalkTalk, one of our agents will get in touch with your provider to cancel your plan.
You’ll need to contact your provider if switching from Virgin Media cable. We suggest contacting them once you’ve arranged your activation date with an engineer. This is so they can cancel your plan as close as possible to the start of your new contract with TalkTalk.
