Home Telecom, part of the Telecom Acquisitions Group, has acquired the Openreach/TalkTalk customer base from Cuckoo Internet, voted MoneySavingExpert’s top broadband provider for customer service twice in a row.

“We can reassure customers that all Cuckoo Internet terms and prices will remain the same,”TAL Managing Director, Nigel Barnett.

“The actual internet connection through TalkTalk and BT will also remain; it will simply be an account migration at our end. It’s totally seamless and will not affect any services. This was a strategic decision by Cuckoo Internet, whose mission is to expand further on their own network.”

The deal brings the total number of customers now managed by TAL to circa 100,000. Eleven ISPs offering broadband services to residential customers have now signed with TAL for ongoing service and support via partnership or acquisition agreements.

Then the RPI increase applied by the providers is being absorbed by the ISP which is affecting their profits by circa 20%. This, of course, is not sustainable,” he added.

Brands under the TAL umbrella now include:
