NEW YORK — In a cramped office on the 19th floor of Two United Nations, Danan Gu, a nerdy population analyst, found 7 million children in China who didn't officially exist.
They materialized in front of him, on a desktop computer. Gu pulled up a chart from China's 2000 census, showing children age 1 and under. Then he clicked on a Ministry of Education report that recorded students in the same age group about 10 years later.

These terms and conditions apply to all residential customers when they take services from us. There are additional terms and conditions that apply when you take a particular service from us, which are set out below.
We've tried to make these terms and conditions easy to understand. If you have any queries that aren't dealt with here, please see our help pages.
These terms and conditions replace all previous versions and were updated on 27 August 2015.
You can quickly jump to a section here:
1. Introduction
4. When a service starts and ends
12. Call monitoring
14. Our rights to suspend, restrict or disconnect the services
15. How either of us can end a service or your agreement
16. Making changes
17. Moving house
18. How we use your information
20. Matters beyond our reasonable control
21. Resolving problems and complaints
1.1 We're TalkTalk Telecom Limited. Our address is 11 Evesham Street, London W11 4AR. Our company registered number is 04633015 and our registered VAT number is GB 744 0320 68. We provide telephony, broadband, TV and mobile services.
1.2 Your agreement:
(a) starts when we accept your first order for a service from us and ends as set out in paragraph 15 ; and
(b) consists of these customer terms and conditions and any applicable service terms and conditions, which you can jump to here:
(i) TalkTalk Telephony Terms And Conditions;
(ii) TalkTalk TV Terms And Conditions;
(iii) TalkTalk Broadband And Fibre Terms And Conditions; and
(iv) TalkTalk Mobile Terms And Conditions.
1.3 If you can't access a document referred to in these customer terms and conditions, you can request a copy by contacting us.
2.1 If you order services from us:
(a) you confirm you're at least 18 years old; and
(b) we may:
(i) ask for proof of identity and address; and
(ii) carry out credit and identity checks on you.
2.2 We try to complete orders as soon as possible but delays may occur, which we'll tell you about as soon as we can.
2.3 Some services (or certain parts) may not be available to you (e.g. if you fall outside the reach of, or are not connected to, our network, the services at your location don't meet our minimum performance requirements, we consider it too difficult to provide you with the services (which we'll usually determine after completing a site survey) or if you try to use a device abroad). We'll tell you if this applies to you.
2.4 We may need to perform tests to check whether services are available to you and we may need to temporarily deactivate your telephone line whilst we do this. We'll tell you before we do this.
2.5 If we transfer your service from or to another provider, you may experience a temporary loss of your services.
2.6 If you ask us to port your telephone number from or to another provider, we'll try to do this wherever possible. If we can't, we'll tell you your options.
3.1 You may cancel your order by contacting us:
(a) in the first 20 days after our acceptance of your order; or
(b) if you've ordered a mobile device, in the first 14 days after receipt of your device,
3.2 If you do cancel, you must return any equipment provided to you within 14 days of cancellation. If you don't return the equipment, you'll have to pay the full equipment price, excluding any discounts you've received (if you subsequently return the equipment, we'll refund any amount you've been charged for it).
3.3 We'll advise how to return equipment when you cancel. You'll be responsible for the cost of return.
3.4 If the returned equipment is worth less than its original value due to use or damage, your refund will reflect this. If you've opened the packaging of a mobile device, this may reduce its value.
3.5 If you follow the above cancellation procedure, you'll receive a refund:
(a) within 14 days of your cancellation; or
(b) if we've sent you equipment, within 14 days of us receiving the returned equipment (or evidence that you've sent it).
3.6 Please note:
(a) you can't cancel Boosts on their own under this paragraph 3 (see paragraph 11 for further details about Boosts);
(b) we may have discounted certain equipment or services or provided them for free. If so, and we still have to pay someone else for these (e.g. we have to pay Openreach, who we rely on for certain services, a fee for installing a new line at your premises) you may have to pay us the difference between what you paid and what we have to pay;
(c) if you asked us to provide a service before the end of the applicable cancellation period stated in paragraph 3.1 above, you must pay for any service you receive up to disconnection of that service; and
(d) if you want to cancel outside the applicable cancellation period stated in paragraph 3.1 above, you must do so in accordance with paragraph 15.
4.1 A service starts on the date it goes live and ends as set out in this agreement.
4.2 Some of our services have a minimum period starting from your go live date, which will be no longer than 24 months and which we'll tell you about when you order. This means:
(a) you may be charged a fee to compensate us for our losses if you end the service before the end of that minimum period. Details of the fee you'll be charged can be found here and
(b) if you've paid a reduced charge, or no charge, for certain equipment and the service ends before the end of the minimum period, you may be charged the full price for the equipment, excluding any discounts you've received.
4.3 If we agree to renew or upgrade any service, a new minimum period may apply from the date of your renewal or upgrade. We'll tell you if this is the case.
5.1 If you agree to an engineer visit, someone over 18 must be present.
5.2 We may charge a fee (the cost of which we'll tell you about before the visit) if:
(a) the engineer can't complete their inspection as they can't access the property or equipment;
(b) on inspection:
(i) the property or your equipment is unsafe;
(ii) we determine that no fault exists; or
(iii) we reasonably believe a fault was caused by you, your equipment or your property; or
(c) we have to undertake work over and above what we would usually carry out (e.g. we have to move your telephone master socket or, you don't consent to this work, and we can't provide the relevant service).
5.3 If you ask us to upgrade a service, but don't consent to necessary engineering work, you'll stay on your current service.
5.4 You may re-schedule an installation visit once without incurring a fee as long as you tell us by any deadline we give you. If you cancel an installation visit, we may charge a fee, which we'll tell you about before you cancel.
5.5 If we need to cancel or change the time of an engineer visit, we'll give you as much notice as we can.
6.1 You may not use your services, or allow your services to be used:
(a) for business purposes, unless otherwise agreed in writing;
(b) to send, communicate, knowingly receive, upload, download or use any material or make any calls that are offensive, abusive, indecent, defamatory, obscene, menacing, cause annoyance, inconvenience, needless anxiety or are intended to deceive;
(c) to download, possess or transmit in any way illegal material;
(d) to engage in criminal, illegal or unlawful activities;
(e) to violate or infringe the rights or property of any person, including rights of copyright and any other intellectual property rights, privacy or confidentiality;
(f) to intentionally impair or attempt to impair, without authorisation, the operation of any computer, prevent or hinder access to any program or data held in any computer or to impair the operation of any such program or the reliability of any such data;
(g) via a device allowing the routing or re-routing of such services on, from or to our network; or
(h) in such a way, or in such amount, that will have an adverse impact on our network (or any part of it), our customers or our brand or that contravenes any of our applicable acceptable use policies or general internet standards.
6.2 All of our services that enable you to make calls allow you to access the emergency services by dialling 112 or 999. The identity of your telephone number will be sent to the emergency services when we set up your telephone line and if you contact them.
6.3 Our services are provided to many customers and we owe them a duty as a whole to preserve our network integrity and to avoid network degradation. Although we don't normally measure and shape traffic, if we consider it necessary, we may, in limited circumstances, have to change the services, or manage your use of, or access to, the services as we see fit. This may impact the quality of the services.
6.4 You may set, and change, a monthly allowance on your account to help control your spending (please visit My Account for further details). We can't always stop you exceeding your allowance (e.g. there may be a delay between you exceeding your allowance and our systems processing it). If you do exceed your allowance, we'll tell you as soon as we can and we may:
(a) stop you from renting films and making calls (except for calls to the emergency services); and
(b) charge you for use above your allowance.
6.5 Certain services are provided by third parties (e.g. the Netflix service). To use these services, you may need to accept their terms and conditions.
6.6 If you ask us, we'll exclude your details from national directories and directory enquiry services.
7.1 To receive a service you may need to use certain equipment provided by us (e.g. a router). You agree that we can:
(a) install, keep and use such equipment at your home;
(b) enter your premises for the connection, maintenance, modification, replacement or removal of such equipment; and
(c) if applicable, connect remotely to your equipment to manage, repair or upgrade it.
7.2 We only provide the equipment we tell you we'll provide. Other equipment may be available from us at an additional cost. If there are any charges related to equipment (e.g. delivery costs), we'll tell you when you order.
7.3 We're only responsible for, and can only support, equipment provided by us. We can't guarantee that the services will work with other equipment.
7.4 You must look after our equipment, keep all original packaging and store and use it in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't, and it's damaged or the packaging is lost, you may need to pay for it. You may need to return our equipment to us and we'll tell you if this is the case.
7.5 Our equipment may be 'as new', which means it's been refurbished or repackaged but looks and operates as if new.
7.6 We're under a legal duty to supply equipment that is in conformity with this agreement. Any equipment we send you will be as described. You must inspect equipment on receipt and tell us about any issues within 30 days. We'll tell you what to do next. If we ask you to return equipment, you must do so within 30 days of our request. We'll send you a pre-paid bag in which to return the equipment. We'll charge you for any equipment we don't receive within 30 days of our request.
7.7 We may ask you to install certain equipment yourself, in which case we'll send you instructions. If you can't, or don't want to do this yourself, we'll send an engineer if you ask for one. Other equipment needs to be installed by an engineer. We'll tell you if this applies. We may charge for these engineer visits, which we'll tell you about before the visit.
7.8 If you need, or are required, to return any equipment to us, and are unsure how to do this, please contact us. You're responsible for this equipment until we receive it. If we don't receive it, we may charge you for it.
7.9 You may not connect equipment to our network that may harm it or other customers' equipment or services. If you do, you must immediately disconnect it, or allow us to, at your expense.
8.1 We'll use reasonable skill and care in providing the services but, given the nature of the services, we can't guarantee that they'll be continuously available or error free (e.g. there may be geographical, atmospheric or environmental factors that affect the services).
8.2 We try to keep your data and communications secure; however, for reasons beyond our control, these may be unlawfully intercepted. If they are, we'll investigate and advise on next steps.
8.3 You must:
(a) comply with our, and our representatives', reasonable instructions about the services;
(b) have all necessary consents or permissions required for us to provide a service (e.g. permission to lay cables from the street to your home or, if you're a tenant, your landlord's consent);
(c) tell us if you change your name, your address, your email address, your payment details or anything else which we may need to know about;
(d) keep usernames, passwords and PINs safe; and
(e) use our services in accordance with any applicable fair use policies we tell you about.
8.4 Whilst any anti-virus software or other security features provided by us should be effective, we can't guarantee they always will be. You should back up your data to protect against loss or corruption.
9.1 We'll tell you the charges for the services when you order or they'll be as detailed in any applicable service terms and conditions or on our pricing page. These charges may include a charge for:
(a) installing a new line at your premises;
(b) connecting you to our network; and
(c) re-connecting you to our network if you've been disconnected.
9.2 You're responsible for paying all charges that you, and any person accessing your services, incur.
9.3 We, or a third party on our behalf, will send you a bill for services, usually within 30 days of them starting. After that, we'll usually bill you monthly.
9.4 We normally send bills in advance except for usage charges (e.g. call charges), which are billed after they're incurred. Charges for periods of less than a month are calculated on a pro-rata basis.
9.5 You'll receive bills in electronic form, unless you tell us you want paper bills. If you choose paper, we'll charge you an additional amount, which we'll tell you about when you request the change.
9.6 Bills must be paid by direct debit, unless otherwise agreed. We'll collect payments on the date shown on your bill. If payment is rejected, we may:
(a) charge you a reasonable fee to cover our costs; and
(b) lower your credit limit with us.
9.7 All charges include VAT, unless otherwise agreed.
9.8 If you think your charges are wrong, you must tell us immediately so we can investigate. You must pay all undisputed charges. We won't suspend or end a service whilst we investigate disputed charges.
9.9 If you don't pay any undisputed part of your bill by the due date, we may:
(a) charge a reasonable administration fee or interest on the overdue amount at 4% a year above the base rate of HSBC Bank plc from time to time. Interest shall accrue daily from the due date to the date of actual payment, whether before or after a court judgment; and
(b) notify credit reference agencies of your non-payment.
9.10 At the end of a service, all outstanding sums and any cancellation charges, including those we may incur from a third party for disconnecting your service, will become immediately due and payable.
10.1 If we're unsure of your credit history, we may ask you for a deposit or impose credit conditions. If you don't pay this deposit or you break these conditions, we may:
(a) require you to make a payment to pay off any unpaid charges or to cover future charges;
(b) place, or change, a credit limit on your account; or
(c) suspend, restrict or disconnect your services.
10.2 We may keep your deposit until your agreement ends and may use it at any time to pay unpaid charges. We don't pay interest on deposits.
10.3 If you exceed a credit limit, you'll be liable for all charges, including those exceeding your credit limit. If you'd like to discuss increasing your credit limit, please contact us.
10.4 We may also set, or change, a credit limit, if your usage is significantly different to a typical customer.
11.1 Where we offer promotions or Boosts, there may be additional terms and conditions that apply, which we'll tell you about when you order. By taking these promotions or Boosts, you agree to these additional terms and conditions.
11.2 Boosts have a minimum duration of 30 days and you'll continue to receive them:
(a) after this period until you tell us you want a Boost to stop by giving us at least 48 hours' notice; or
(b) until we tell you we're going to stop a Boost, or any part of a Boost, by giving you at least 48 hours' notice,
in which case we'll give you a pro-rata credit for any charges paid.
11.3 Unless you tell us 48 hours before the end of your billing period, you may be charged for the following month as well.
12.1 We, or our representatives, may monitor or record your communications:
(a) for business purposes, such as quality control and training;
(b) to prevent unauthorised use of our systems;
(c) to ensure effective systems operation; and

(a) loss of data or information;
(b) business losses;
(c) loss of your time;
(d) problems caused by other network operators/providers of telecommunications services;
(e) losses caused by third party services or goods, content or viruses that you access through the services; or
(f) the failure of any alarm system that you try to run over our network or services.
13.3 Our total liability to you shall be limited to £5,000 for any one incident or series of related incidents.
13.4 Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for anything we can't exclude or limit by law. See paragraph 22 for further information about your rights.
14.1 We may suspend, restrict or disconnect any, or all, of the services if:
(a) our network breaks down or needs maintenance;
(b) you break any important term of your agreement (e.g. paragraph 6.1) ;
(c) you fail to pay your bill or any charges within 7 days of our reminder;
(d) we're required to for legal or regulatory reasons;
(e) we're no longer able to provide a service (or any part of it);
(f) you're abusive or threatening, make unreasonable demands on us, including on our time, or abuse our processes;
(g) we suspend or restrict a related service;
(h) your usage of the services is in excess of what we'd expect from a typical customer;
(i) your SIM card is lost or stolen; or
(j) we believe your services or your credit or debit card have been used fraudulently.
14.2 Where we suspend, restrict or disconnect a service, your agreement will continue and, unless we've suspended, restricted or disconnected under paragraphs 14.1(a), 14.1(d) or 14.1(e), we may require you to pay:
(a) our reasonable costs for suspending or restricting the services and resuming them; and
(b) your charges.
15.1 If you want to end a service or your agreement with us, please contact us. If any service is in its minimum period, you may have to pay a fee as set out in paragraph 4.2.
15.2 Unless stated otherwise, if either of us wants to end a service outside the minimum period, the party ending the service will have to provide 30 days' written notice to the other party; however, if you're transferring to another telephone or broadband provider, we'll accept that you've given us sufficient notice when we receive notice from them.
15.3 You may immediately end your agreement by giving us written notice as set out in paragraph 16.2.
15.4 We may immediately end your agreement by giving you written notice if:
(a) we're entitled to suspend, restrict or disconnect any, or all, of the services under paragraphs 14.1(b), 14.1(c), 14.1(d), 14.1(e), 14.1(f), 14.1(g) or 14.1(h);
(b) we believe your services are being used fraudulently; or
(c) you become bankrupt, enter into an individual voluntary arrangement or anything similar.
15.5 If either of us ends a service:
(a) any unused goodwill credits will be used to pay outstanding charges on your account. If any remain after we've accounted for all outstanding charges, the goodwill credits will be cancelled; and
(b) any positive credit balance will be used to pay outstanding charges on your account. If you still have a positive credit after the deductions for outstanding charges, we'll tell you how to claim it. If you don't claim your balance within 12 months of your service ending, you'll no longer be able to claim it.
15.6 Certain services are dependent on other services (e.g. you can only take our TV service if you continue taking our broadband service). If we or you end one service we may need to end another. If this is the case, we'll tell you.
16.1 We may need to change your services, equipment, charges or agreement for legal, regulatory or business reasons. If so, we'll tell you about this in writing or by publishing a notice or updated terms and conditions on our website.
16.2 If a change is to your material detriment, we'll give you at least 30 days' written notice (by letter, email, SMS or via your monthly bill). If you object, you may end your agreement without charge (other than accrued charges), provided you contact us within 30 days of receiving the notification.
17.1 If you're moving house and want to continue using the services, you must tell us at least 14 days before so we can cancel your old service. Further important information is available on our moving home page.
17.2 We'll try our best to transfer the services but, if we can't transfer some or all of them, and any are in the minimum period, you may have to pay the charges to the end of the minimum period.
18.1 We take privacy very seriously. We're committed to protecting and preserving any information you give to us and to being transparent about what information we hold and how we use it. We'll only use your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which you agree to by ordering or using a service.
19.1 If you can't find what you're looking for on our help pages or by chatting to our online chat agents, you can contact us by telephoning customer services on freephone 0800 049 1424 or 0203 441 5550 or 2883 from a TalkTalk SIM. We will need to verify your identity before we can speak to you about your account. If the person contacting us is not the account holder, we can only provide limited information. If you want to write to us, or if any paragraph in your agreement requires you to give us written notice, you can do this here or by post to TalkTalk Correspondence Department, PO Box 360, Southampton SO30 2LY.
19.2 If we need to contact you, we'll use your billing address, email address, mobile or fixed telephone number or any other method requested by you. If we have to give you written notice, we'll do so by email, SMS, hand or pre-paid post to the address or telephone number you've provided to us.
19.3 Any notice or document will be deemed to be delivered immediately (if delivered by hand) or 48 hours after posting (if sent by first class post). Notices given by SMS or email shall be deemed to be delivered when they're sent.
20.1 We may not be able to provide a service (or part of a service) due to, or your service may be affected by, something beyond our reasonable control. In this scenario, we can't accept responsibility for what's occurred and we may need to suspend or terminate your service or agreement. If we terminate under this paragraph 20, you'll only be charged up to the point of termination.
21.1 If you're experiencing a problem with your services, see our help pages. If this doesn't help, please contact us as soon as possible. You must give us the opportunity to resolve your problems and continue to pay your bills whilst we investigate. Our Compensation Policy details your rights if you experience a problem with your services. The maximum compensation available under the Compensation Policy is £500 per year; although, you have additional rights as detailed in Your other legal rights.
21.2 If you have a complaint, please see our Code of Practice.
22.1 In addition to the rights set out in your agreement and our Compensation Policy, you have other legal rights, including:
(a) in relation to goods and digital content that are faulty or not as described:
(i) the short-term right to reject;
(ii) the right to a repair or replacement;
(iii) the right to a price reduction; or
(iv) a final right to reject;
(b) in relation to services that are not performed with reasonable skill and care:
(i) the right to ask for repeat performance; and
(ii) if repeat performance is impossible, or not done within a reasonable time without inconvenience, the right to a reduction in price; and
(c) the right to bring a claim for breach of contract for 6 years from the date of breach.
22.2 The legal rights noted in this paragraph are the main legal rights we think you need to know about when you take our services but you have many other legal rights. The above does not constitute legal advice. If you need further advice, you should seek independent legal advice or contact your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
22.3 Nothing in your agreement or our Compensation Policy affects these legal rights.
23.1 You may not transfer the whole or any part of this agreement or service to anyone else without our written consent. We can transfer this agreement to any company within the TalkTalk group of companies.
23.2 Each paragraph in this agreement operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any paragraph is unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
23.3 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this agreement, or if we don't enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that won't mean we've waived our rights against you or that you don't have to comply with those obligations. If we choose not to enforce any of our rights, we'll tell you in writing. This doesn't mean we'll do the same in the future.
23.4 This agreement is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms except for our group companies.
23.5 This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales. We both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. However, if you're a resident of Northern Ireland you may bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you're a resident of Scotland, you may bring proceedings in Scotland.

3.1 To get the TV service, you'll need an aerial and a TV that has a spare HDMI connection to plug our set top box in to.
3.2 We'll:
(a) provide you with a set top box. This may be for a reduced charge or no charge; and
(b) repair or replace a set top box we've provided if it becomes faulty unless:

3.3 You must connect your set top box to our network via:
(a) a direct wire to your router; or
(b) powerline adapters.
3.4 If you don't connect your set top box to our network then we may ask you to send it back at your cost. If you don't do this, we may charge you for it.
3.5 We're not responsible for your TV aerial. We recommend you check how good your reception is here.
3.6 If you use a third party set top box, the quality of your TV experience may not be as expected.
4.1 In addition to the channels and content provided with your TV service, other channels and content are available for an additional cost.
4.2 We'll give you a PIN so you can order extra channels or content via your set top box (you can also do this via My Account). You're responsible for the PIN and any charges arising from using it.
4.3 If you wish to connect your router to your set top box via powerline adapters, we can provide these to you for an additional charge.
5.1 We provide some TV content on a buy and keep basis. If you buy such content:
(a) subject to paragraph 5.1(b) below, you can watch it on your set top box and two other compatible devices via our TV2Go app; however, you can only watch this content in standard definition on the TV2Go app, even if you bought a high definition version to watch on your set top box;

To assist, you can set up parental locks on certain content on the TV service (see our help pages for more information).
5.3 By purchasing a pay per view movie from our "TalkTalk Box Office" service, you agree to these additional terms.
These are our broadband and fibre terms and conditions which, together with our customer terms and conditions, apply to all residential customers when they order broadband or fibre services from us. We've tried to make them easy to understand. If you have any queries that aren't dealt with here, please see our help pages.
You can quickly jump to a section here:
2. What else we need to tell you
1.1 If you're transferring to us from another provider, there may be charges that you'll need to pay, which we'll tell you about in advance.
1.2 You need to have a computer to receive the broadband and fibre services.
1.3 We may need you to install software on your computer; although, we won't call and ask you to do this unless you've requested this. You should save and back up any data before installing this software. The software will give us access to your computer so we can diagnose and fix any problems you may experience. If you don't install the software, we may not be able to resolve such problems and we won't be responsible for any issues you may experience as a result of this.
1.4 You or we may need to modify your computer settings to make it work with the broadband service. You should check these modifications don't invalidate any computer warranty you may have. If they do, we won't be liable for any modification carried out by you, us or our representatives.
2.1 When you order the broadband service, we'll give you an estimate of the upload and download speeds you can expect. Upload speeds will always be slower than download speeds.
2.2 If our estimates are below our minimum requirements, we won't be able to provide the broadband service to you.
2.3 We'll try to ensure you get the estimated speeds; however, we can't guarantee this. It may take up to two weeks from installation for your speeds to stabilise. If, after this period, you're constantly getting significantly lower speeds, contact us so we can try to help. If there's a fault, we'll take reasonable steps, and you must take any reasonable steps we ask you to take, to correct such fault. If, after this, your speeds are still below the 'minimum guaranteed access line speed', you may cancel the broadband service without liability. The 'minimum guaranteed access line speed' is the fastest speed achieved by the bottom 10% of similar customers (e.g. if there are 10,000 customers like you, then we'd compare you with the 1,000 customers who get the lowest speeds and the minimum speed would be the fastest speed of those 1,000 customers).
2.4 If we give you access to an email account and an email address:
(a) you don't own them;
(b) we may need to change your email address; and
(c) if you leave us, you can't keep them.
2.5 If you don't log into your email account for 180 consecutive days, we may close your account. We'll try to tell you before we do this.
2.6 We may need to block access to, or delivery of, any apparently unsolicited communications (e.g. spam). We may also use virus screening technology that deletes or alters emails or attachments.
If we provide storage space on our systems, we may impose limits, which we may vary from time to time (e.g. on the number of email accounts available, the number of emails you can store or the size of attachments you can send). We may reject or delete material that exceeds your limits.
These are our mobile terms and conditions which, together with our customer terms and conditions, apply to all residential customers when they order mobile services from us. We've tried to make them easy to understand. If you have any queries that aren't dealt with here, please see our help pages.
You can quickly jump to a section here:

3.4 If you buy a SIM only tariff, your current mobile device may be locked to another network. To unlock it, you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current provider. If you enter an incorrect code, you may permanently block your device. We accept no liability for this.
4.1 Charges are based on your agreed package and calls, texts and data are charged in accordance with our mobile pricing page and our Price Guide. These contain other important information about what you can and can't do with the mobile services.

4.4 You can monitor your usage through My Account or the My TalkTalk app. You can track how many minutes, texts or data you've used and see your remaining allowance. Please take note of the time and date that your usage was updated and the current time and date as there may be a delay between you exceeding your allowance and our systems processing it. If you do exceed your allowance, we'll tell you as soon as we can and we may charge you for use above your allowance.
4.5 Standard SMSs contain up to 160 characters. Some mobile devices allow you to send more than 160 characters, in which case the SMS will be turned into, and charged as, an MMS. Only standard SMSs are included in inclusive text allowances. Standard SMS prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages.
4.6 You can send long texts, pictures and videos using MMS texts. MMS texts are limited to 300kb. If an MMS text contains multiple media items, you'll be charged for the most expensive (e.g. if an MMS text contains a picture and video clip, you'll be charged the video message price).

Financial Leverage And Capital Structure Policy - Bankruptcy Costs And Optimal Capital Structure
Bankruptcy Costs
M&M II might make it sound as if it is always a good thing when a company increases its proportion of debt relative to equity, but that's not the case. Additional debt is good only up to a certain point because of bankruptcy costs.
Bankruptcy costs can significantly affect a company's cost of capital. When a company invests in debt, the company is required to service that debt by making required interest payments. Interest payments alter a company's earnings as well as cash flow.
For each company there is an optimal capital structure, including a percentage of debt and equity, and a balance between the tax benefits of the debt and the equity. As a company continues to increase its debt over the amount stated by the optimal capital structure, the cost to finance the debt becomes higher as the debt is now riskier to the lender.
The risk of bankruptcy increases with the increased debt load. Since the cost of debt becomes higher, the WACC is thus affected. With the addition of debt, the WACC will at first fall as the benefits are realized, but once the optimal capital structure is reached and then surpassed, the increased debt load will then cause the WACC to increase significantly. (Read more about bankruptcy in Not Too Big To Fail: Corporate Financial Struggles and An Overview Of Corporate Bankruptcy.)
Optimal Capital Structure
Is there an optimal debt-equity relationship? In financial terms, debt is a good example of the proverbial two-edged sword. Astute use of leverage (debt) increases the amount of financial resources available to a company for growth and expansion. The assumption is that management can earn more on borrowed funds than it pays in interest expenses and fees on these funds. However, as successful as this formula may seem, it does require that a company maintain a solid record of complying with its various borrowing commitments. (For more stories on company debt loads, see Will Corporate Debt Drag Your Stock Down? and Burn Rate Key Factor In Company's Sustainability.)
A company considered too highly leveraged (too much debt versus equity) may find its freedom of action restricted by its creditors and/or may have its profitability hurt as a result of paying high interest costs. Of course, the worst-case scenario would be having trouble meeting operating and debt liabilities during periods of adverse economic conditions. Lastly, a company in a highly competitive business, if hobbled by high debt, may find its competitors taking advantage of its problems to grab more market share.
Unfortunately, there is no magic proportion of debt that a company can take on. The debt-equity relationship varies according to industries involved, a company's line of business and its stage of development. However, because investors are better off putting their money into companies with strong balance sheets, common sense tells us that these companies should have, generally speaking, lower debt and higher equity levels. (Read about personal debt in What's Your Debt Really Costing You? and Debt Settlement Arrangements And Your Credit Score.)
What Is the Optimal Capital Structure?
As we have seen, some debt is often better than no debt, but too much debt increases bankruptcy risk. In technical terms, additional debt lowers the weighted average cost of capital. Of course, at some point, additional debt becomes too risky. The optimal capital structure, the ideal ratio of long-term debt to total capital, is hard to estimate. It depends on at least two factors, but keep in mind that the following are general principles:
First, optimal capital structure varies by industry, mainly because some industries are more asset-intensive than others. In very general terms, the greater the investment in fixed assets (plant, property and equipment), the greater the average use of debt. This is because banks prefer to make loans against fixed assets rather than intangibles. Industries that require a great deal of plant investment, such as telecommunications, generally use more long-term debt.
Second, capital structure tends to track with the company's growth cycle. Rapidly growing startups and early stage companies, for instance, often favor equity over debt because their shareholders will forgo dividend payments in favor of future price returns. These companies are considered growth stocks. High-growth companies do not need to give these shareholders cash today; however lenders would expect semi-annual or quarterly interest payments.
In summary, the optimal capital structure is the mix of debt, preferred stock and common equity that will optimize the company's stock price. As a company raises new capital it will focus on maintaining this optimal capital structure.

Thinking of God involves more than many realize. It means thinking not only of his existence, his person and his nature, but also of the things he has created. The Bible says, and nature demonstrates, that God created the universe and everything in it. Genesis 1 and many other passages give us some understanding – though far from complete – of the nature of his work in creation. We don't have to understand the "how" of God's creation in order to appreciate the reality of it.

4th of July!!!! American razzamatazz at its best
... especially when you factor in the 1812 Overture with army cannons about 500m from us!
All in all, pretty satisfying day.
Surprise find - Great little diner which sold All American Open Burger. Surprisingly tasty.
Traveller's Tip - not bragging or anything, but the Sydney NYE fireworks must be one of the best in the world. And don't be fooled by the image of the Capitol surrounded by fireworks. All the fireworks come from the Washington ...
Entry 5: A week filled with emotion
I started this week with a free English class at Lado International in Washington DC with some friends. Courses were different from the previous one. Everyone was together whatever the level. We didn't like it but it was better to stay at home. I learned new words and practiced my pronunciation.
I worked in a large kitchen as a volunteer called DC Central Kitchen. When I arrived, ...

Day of Departure
We flew out of Orlando at 1:45 pm. so we had plenty of time to get to the airport without having to get up with the chickens. Our connection at Dulles was event-free.

The sirens are back, but Vanessa may be the biggest threat of all....
Nothing has been normal since Vanessa Sands learned that her sister was murdered by siren femme fatales of the watery depths and that everything she believed about her family was a lie. Her boyfriend, Simon, has been the only person Vanessa feels she can really trust. But now there are some secrets she can't tell even him. And when Vanessa finds herself in the sights of Parker, Hawthorne Prep's resident charmer, she needs someone to confide in more than ever.
Doubting her relationship with Simon, unsure of Parker's intentions - and of her own - and terrified by what she's learned about herself, Vanessa has never felt so alone. But personal problems must be put aside, because the Winter Harbor sirens are back for revenge.
Now, Vanessa must face her past and accept that she is just like her enemies - every bit as alluring, every bit as dangerous.
The eagerly anticipated second novel of the Siren trilogy, Undercurrent is a seductive paranormal romance that will leave you breathless.
Also listen to the first book, Siren.

"An improvement over the first book"
I gave the first book a harsh review, but I decided to try out the sequel. I actually enjoyed this one. I still think the writing is a little shallow for my taste, but I have to admit that I do find myself thinking about the lovely sirens when I walk on the beach. In this novel, Nessa starts to come to terms with her siren power and her future with Simon. An interesting twist happens in the middle of the book. Similar to the first book, all of the "action" happens at the end of the book and is over in the blink of an eye. Not sure if I'll read the third installment or not, but at least the books are cheap. The narrator improved by a lot.

Daniel Bryan missing Extreme Rules
While a lot of fans were hoping that the rumors about Daniel Bryan being seriously injured were not true, WWE has now confirmed that the Intercontinental Champion will not be able to work Extreme Rules tonight. They posted an official announcement on the website, where they state that Bryan is not medically cleared. His scheduled opponent Wade Barrett will now work a match against Adrian Neville during the kickoff show.

Daniel Bryan at Royal Rumble
In a nice little swerve on Monday Night Raw, Daniel Bryan convinced WWE fans that he might be retiring as an in ring performer, thanks in part to a simple social media message, before delightfully surprising the audience with the announcement that he would be making his return at the Royal Rumble. There had been legitimate concerns backstage over his health, as many were under the belief that he would walk away like Edge did to ensure his long term health.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Researchers tracking the spread of Toxoplasma gondii a parasite that reproduces only in cats but sickens and kills many other animals have found infected wildlife throughout a 1,500-acre (600-hectare) natural area in central Illinois.
The researchers also found dozens of free-ranging cats in the area, the Robert Allerton Park, near Monticello, Ill. Two years of tracking, trapping and motion-triggered night photography at eight sites in the park found no evidence of bobcats, but plenty of examples of feral or abandoned house cats, many of them infected with Toxoplasma.
The research appears in the Journal of Wildlife Diseases.
T. gondii reproduces in cats and is shed in their feces. Other animals pick it up from soil or water or by eating infected animals. Infection can lead to neurological problems, and sometimes death, in humans and other animals.
The researchers trapped, sedated and collected blood samples from 18 cats and hundreds of other mammals, including raccoons, opossums, squirrels, mice, woodchucks, chipmunks and rabbits. All of the animals were tagged and released where they were found.
(Watch a slide show about the research.)
One third of the cats sampled were infected with T gondii, as were significant numbers of the wild animals found at every site. Animals that inhabit or range over territories of 247 acres (100 hectares) or more, such as raccoons and opossums, were more likely to be infected than those with smaller ranges.
But these animals "could have acquired T. gondii infection somewhere outside of the park," said Nohra Mateus-Pinilla, a wildlife veterinary epidemiologist at the University of Illinois Prairie Research Institute and leader of the study. Animals with smaller home ranges likely
