Virgin Media warning
I have just left Virgin after being a customer for several years and moved to Sky (thank god). I had an old Telewest email address which I had still planned using temporarily whilst switching to my new Sky one. Virgin in their lovely wisdom have failed to tell me that you lose that email address when they disconnect your…

Can we change from BT Business Broadband to Bt Home Broadband?
Hubby has an office upstairs so we've had Business broadband for about 8 years - his company is billed directly for this. We'd like the BT Vision TV facility that Home customers can have. Do you think I could ring BT, request this change and be successful?

BT I-Plate promises to speed up ADSL connections by up to 60%; will it work for you?
What's the deal? The 'I-Plate' made by BT sits inside your master phone socket, and speeds up your broadband by reducing interference to increase data flow. It can boost speeds by up to 60%, but for it to work, your house needs to have the right type of master socket (see pic below). How to get one cheaply:* Having…

Hi, I have a KC telephone line and am confused over whether I have to use KC for broadband or if I can go anywhere else to get it cheaper. The cheapest KC package is £8.49 for 3 months and £13 thereafter plus £30 set up fee. I feel they have a monopoly in Hull and surrounding areas.

Freedom2Surf Broadband - Existing customers get free regrade.
If, like me, you use F2S for your broadband, it is worth checking their current packages to see if the equivalent package you are currently using has been improved. I am on their "Lite" 8mb service with a 5GB cap. I just looked at their website and they have changed the package to a 10GB cap and reduced the price by £1…

Hi, About two months ago I contacted Virgin to cancel my contract as I was moving house. I got through and categorically confirmed I wanted to cancel the deal. However, as I was on a mobile, my battery ran out before I could speak to the 'disconnections dept'. The operator, though, confirmed she understood I was phoning to…

I don't have a great credit file and don't want to even chance it…
