Telecom Acquisitions UK Gobbles Eze Talk Home Broadband Users

The Horsham-based Telecom Acquisitions Group (TAL), which is a holding company for several familiar UK residential ISP brands (Home Telecom, No One and Eclipse Broadband etc.), has today acquired yet another broadband customer base, this time from little known ISP brand Eze Talk Residential.

Just to be clear. Eze Talk is currently adopting more of a business focus, and TAL will acquire only Eze Talk Residential’s 2,750 strong base of residential customers. In the last 15 months to February 2024, TAL have grown to circa 100,000 customers, while returning a £40m turnover, and this latest acquisition adds to that.

The TAL Group added that it is continuing to negotiate with other prominent alternative networks and ISPs for further expansion during the course of 2024. The company is also supporting this via an ongoing marketing deal to help boost take-up and bring its brand to houses on the footprints of CityFibre’s full fibre network across the UK, which complements existing arrangements with other networks (e.g. MS3, FullFibre and Freedom Fibre).

The announcement doesn’t mention much about the customer side of this deal, but TAL’s past migrations have tended to broadly respect existing package details and prices, albeit sometimes with the odd change.
