Many other people still on PSTN/copper broadband?
I know it was just under one fifth of households towards the end of last year. We are still on our copper line and it's doing the job, on some retained deal from The Phone Co-op that hasn't motivated us to switch. I thought a line fault in February might have been our time, but to my surprise Openreach mended it after a…

Globlinker 2GB/month data "for life"
Anyone else come across the Globlinker 2GB/month free data portable mobile hotspot device? Looks like for £125ish upfront you get a mobile hotspot that includes 2GB data every month for free for life. Is this a scam? Is this based on the presumption 2GB/data will be close to useless in a few years and they are relying on…

Have broadband prices taken a dip in recent times?
My BT broadband has gone up in price. It's now just over £40/month for broadband only. 300mb connection. Thankfully the contract ends in August because I'll be on my way at that price! Just now had a look to see what's out there on offer. MSE show Sky, YouFibre, Virgin, PlusNet all in & around the £20/month marker. Ok a…

BT/EE
I'm a little confused. I was switched to EE from BT last time my contract was up. But I continually see people on here talking about renewing their bb with BT. So what is the score, is BT for business or not. Or are all these people businesses? on here

BT Broadband Warning: Incompetent and Contemptuous
A warning for anyone considering BT Broadband: We have had a contract with BT Business for many years for our home telephone and broadband. In September 2025 I applied to switch to “full fibre” broadband, which I was told was available for my property. 6 months later and after about 4 visits from different engineers, and 2…

Haggling with EE with multiple networks in the area
Has anyone had any luck when haggling with EE? Where I live, there are three fibre network providers: OpenReach, CityFibre, and County Broadband. After a lot of faff, Openreach finally managed to thread the fibre to my house. Now I'm more than happy with EE, but has anyone managed to haggle with EE when in the CityFibre…

Broadband changing provider
Morning all. I hope you're doing well. This is probably going to be a dim question, but I'm a bit confused. I've been with TalkTalk for ages for my Broadband and landline. I'm not particularly unhappy with them although when something goes wrong its really really difficult to get hold of anyone to help me. I'm paying…

Flaw in system or is my company dodgy?
Is there a flaw in the system to leave after a Broadband contact finishes, or is my Broadband company dodgy? I tried to do everything correct to leave a Onestream Broadband contract at the end of it in March, without any added fees, even though they made it difficult, as said I couldn't contact them before 30 days to…

Any luck getting Openreach copper line removed?
Most/all of the houses in this area have now had fiber installed. The service provided via overhead lines from telephone poles, which means every fibre line is duplicated by a much thicker, obsolete copper line. This is making the area look a mess, an means there are two messy fixings to each houses' facia, brickwork or…

My bt bb and digital voice expires on the 7th May
I want to switch either with sky or Vodafone. When do I initiate the switch? Is it too early now ? It will be full fibre does that mean there will be some digging and new socket installed inside the house. Currently got the old open reach socket. Thanks

Avoid Onestream Broadband!!
Just a warning folks, do not sign up with Onestream for your Broadband. I foolishly did. Firstly there's a hidden software licence charge that they will take from you without properly informing you about it, very sneaky. You don't even know it but you've bought anti virus software off them. Until you see your bank…

OFNL for new estates why so expensive
OK so is this another monopoly scam for the big developers? I’m on a relatively new build housing development and I HAVE TO use One Fibre Network ONFL for broadband and Sky TV. Normal offers from all of the big name providers that are much cheaper are not available to me and the so called better deals through ONFL are…

Seamless switch?
My first time switching full fibre broadband today between Sky and Vodafone, both OR. I was under the impression that the switch would be seamless and pretty much instantaneous, is it his not the case? I woke up to my Sky internet disconnected, as expected, so connected up my Vodafone router and it's not connecting to the…

Why does porting new VoIP landline numbers seem so difficult to service providers?
Ofcom brought out new regulations in 2024 on porting landline numbers but are the companies following them? I’ve decided to change my FTTP broadband and VoIP phone provider from EE after years of service with them to great deal from sky. My broadband switched phone works with sky number as normal but still no number change…

broadband cables across front garden- hyperoptic
I recently came out of contract with Sky for broadband and decided to switch to Hyperoptic who were offering a 40% cheaper than the cheapest renewal price i could get from Sky, and they seem to have reasonable reviews. I was told somebody would come to do a 'survey' which was basically just a look at the property from the…
