SKY+, Talk & Surf Questions
We're hoping to buy our first flat soon and have started thinking about services we require. Sky is not needed but would be nice to have so we're considering the £26 Sky+, Talk, Surf package. 1) Does this require seperate BT Line rental to be paid? Or is it included in the cost? 2) How good is the service? I've heard good…

Ao-hell
I know the answer - ditch them, but everyone else in the household likes it (I guess it's me that sorts out ALL the many problems!) Recently I used the CD that migrates to the new Carphone Warehouse network they are using and we won't stay migrated. Everytime I re-start the PC I have to use the CD again to migrate as it…

Upgrading with AOL
After months of my [strike]nagging[/strike] gentle persuasion, my husband finally rang AOL today as we have been paying £17.99 for years for broadband (as well as TalkTalk for phone) and I am desperate to save and get more of a package. He was primed as to what to say (they wouldn't talk to me as it is in his name).…

Move all eggs to Virgin basket or diversify to O2/BT/Sky?
Hi - am currently on the Virgin 20Mb cable BB service but have become very concerned over its cost (£37 - dropped to £29 by Retentions dept. Compared to O2's 16Mb (which is what I can get distance-wise) for £10 as an o2 customer, it should be a no-brainer to change. However, my trusty old Humax Freeview PVR coughed its…

Want to change from Talk Talk but which supplier to move to?

When trying to register for Tiscali's Option 2 package on the internet, a message was displayed to the effect that my local exchange had not been converted to allow Tiscali access, but that Tiscali would be continuing to "Roll Out Exchanges" during 2008. This meant that I could not have "Free Line Rental" yet. On checking…
