TalkTalk enters into agreement to buy SSE Phone & Broadband from OVO Energy

TalkTalk has entered into agreement to buy SSE Phone & Broadband from OVO Energy.

All of the SSE Phone and Broadband customers and team will transfer over to TalkTalk from the Autumn.

In 2020, SSE Phone & Broadband, was acquired by OVO Energy as part of its purchase of SSE Energy Services from SSE plc.

OVO Energy has now agreed to sell SSE Phone & Broadband to TalkTalk. SSE, which owned SSE Phone & Broadband prior to its sale to OVO Energy in 2020, has given permission for the SSE brand to be used under licence until April 2023 to support a smooth transition to TalkTalk. The completion of the transition is expected to take place in Autumn.

A TalkTalk spokesperson said:

“We are delighted to be welcoming SSE Phone & Broadband customers and team to TalkTalk this Autumn. As the country’s only scale affordable provider, we look forward to providing our high-quality service at the best possible value.”
