News Summary:
On July 24, 2026, TalkTalk registered 10 complaints per 100,000 customers in the first quarter, significantly higher than the overall average of 6.6, which marked a record low for broadband complaints to the telco watchdog. This figure contributed to TalkTalk being identified as one of the most complained-about providers in regulator Ofcom's latest figures, which placed the company at the bottom of its league tables on July 23, 2026. Earlier, on July 20, 2026, research indicated that thousands of UK customers were switching away from major broadband brands like TalkTalk and BT, opting instead for smaller full-fibre "altnets." Previously, on July 12, 2026, Telecel Group submitted a bid worth up to £450 million for TalkTalk’s wholesale business, PXC, challenging established European rivals for control of a key part of the UK’s telecom infrastructure. This followed an earlier development on June 10, 2026, when Vodafone Group PLC’s UK arm, VodafoneThree, submitted a bid for TalkTalk Telecom Group Ltd’s consumer operations, aiming to accelerate its growth in home broadband.
