January 2027 - analogue phone lines are being disconnected So - if you have not gone digital yet (full fibre) - it's almost too late https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/phone-internet-downloads-or-tv/check-your-personal-alarm-will-work-after-the-landline-switch-off/

I am out of my 24 month contract and now my bill has increased by £10 for, not being in contract?! Anyway, the total is now £74.99 which is including sport which I intend to cancel. The broadband is full fibre 150, for £44.99, which I think is really extortionate. EE's website is appalling, I haven't been able to access my…

Thought this might be worth alerting forum users but we've had people at the door today claiming to be from BT/EE with branded jackets showing EE logos along with Money Expert branding too. Previously had a run in with Money Expert trying to get elderly parents to switch gas and electricity so was rather wary from the…

My husband and I stopped watching TV a long time ago as we found it very biased and there was nothing either of us wanted to watch. We decided to cancel our TV license after we realised it was about 6 months since we put the TV on. We both have laptops and neither of us watch any live TV. I watch series and films sometimes…

Can anyone help, Feel like ramming my head against a brick wall trying to contact Sky regarding contract for TV. Have attempted 3 calls . Twice the line has gone dead and once the agent insisted an option given to my in writting was not available. Trying to explain I had the letter from Sky in front of me with the number I…

I received a call from Prestige Telecoms getting me into a 36 month contract. Wasnt give full information prior to signing contract & what they said on the phone differs to there terms and conditions. Less than 24hours if signing I called to cancel, they said I cant as they dont offer a 14 day cool off period. I explained…

Hi, Are there any free snoring Apps which wake you when snoring. I do both snoring and Catathrenia (groaning) and so need to be woken up so i stop it. "Sleep as Android" seems free but it doesnt have an audio recorder which starts recording when you snore, so as to proove that you started snoring before it actually wakes…

can anyone advise on broadband with landline phone deals costs and speeds or should I wait till Feb next year for the best deals I am with talktalk and wish to have landline even although do not use it much

What's the link to cancel? I'd like to be sent the confirmation paper too to show them if they come to door. My TV can be seen from window outside slightly but not easily on a 1st floor flat if my blinds not pulled across. But lay out of flat is confusing for them to know it's my lounge. There's 5 flats in block. If tv is…

Spent 24 hours trying to research this and ended up more confused than when I started. I gather I need something app based so I know both that the call is coming via the company I pay for this service AND I know who the caller is. I want to be able to block callers. 60 minutes a month is not enough. Not expecting many long…

I received a text before from Virgin… "IMPORTANT: Please make sure your TV box stays connected to a wall socket with the switch turned on for the next 72 hours while we do a software update. This should fix some issues you may have been having with Sky Sports+.In the meantime, you can watch Sky Sports on the app or on…

I am seeking any possible help for the issues I'm facing with EE landline VoiceMail. I do not want it I have a perfectly good system which worked fine until recent meddling by EE. I have had so many conversations about it with them it's taken up days of my time to the point where I'm thinking of leaving them but will…

I'm looking to get a new Broadband and home phone contract. I've just come to the end of my BT contract which is Fibre 2 ( part fibre not FTTP). I've used several online comparison sites and it seems like the providers will only offer Full fibre deals because it is available here. Will they not accept a new customer on the…

I've just been to visit my former in-laws. They're in a dreadful state over an unpaid Sky bill but they transferred from Sky to Virgin over 12 months ago so didn't know they were running up a bill. Virgin said they would 'deal with everything', they had something from Sky to indicate they were aware of the transfer (some…

I don't know where to start looking or even if a mobile is the right way to go. It will have to be a mobile with a battery that will last a good few hours. They do not understand technology so I'm even wondering if a mobile will be too much for them, with app updates etc. I'm not sure if it will confuse them seeing…

I am a registered TV licence holder, am resident in the UK, have lived at the same address for decades, and haven't been out of the country for several years. I have an issue that I use a VPN (which surfaces in the UK), but BBC iPlayer blocks connection via a VPN. The BBC are therefore blocking my valid use of the paid-for…

Hello, I wanted to switch broadbands from o2 because I am paying for such low gb. Does anyone have recommendations that are cost effective, I was thinking smarty?

My elderly mum is in her 90s and has careline attached to her landline. She has a landline and old fashioned broadband provided by NowTV. They have gradually ramped up the price over the last 5 years and are currently charging her £42.50 a month for the privelege. My understanding is that there has been a national,…
