I don't think that…

Changing Broadband provider
We are about to move house, which sounds like a good time to consider changing broadband provider. We currently use Orange but find that our connection is unreliable, and also much slower than advertised (at peak times it seems as slow as dial-up though it is supposed to be 8MB!) Also we have been told that it will take a…

BT Broadband - TalkTalk still worse, but only just..
I love Bt Broadband's policy on rural broadband.

So AOL rung, "No problem, we'll sort it", and they will.. I know this…

Virgin Broadband Helpline tip
I have just had a bad experience with Virgin Media Broadband (surprise) but one good thing came out of it which might be of help to others. If you phone the help line (25p per min.) between 8pm and 8am, you will be connected to the off-shore call centre, which can be expensive in terms of time spent trying to understand…
