I have AOL broadband/phone package, currently £19 per month but came with a laptop, contract now due for renewal. Got a call from them offering to discount it to 14.95. No, thanks, I say..... So they offered it for £6.95 per month instead!!!!! Seems reasonable to me.;)

Broadband, what made you choose your current provider?
Hi, Happy Boxing Day :j, I was wondering what made MSE Members choose their current broadband supplier. I am with Virgin Media, it's because I wanted Pay-TV but didn't want to pay Sky's excessive monthly fee, plus I didn't want a Dish on the front of my house. What I get for £5 per week from Virgin Media... * TV M + * Line…

Virgin Nightmare!
I've been without my Virgin internet connection for a few days now. First they told me it was clearly my wireless router at fault. So I replaced it. That didn't help. Then they told me it was clearly that my PC isn't working properly and I'd better get myself to PC World. Instead I phoned the £1 a minute helpline who are…

Is BT Broadband always this bad? (and I've only got as far as trying to order!)
I decided to move my broadband access from Pipex to BT (no LLU here, so my options were limited.) I ordered via Quidco to save £50. Everything seemed to be OK, activation was set for Dec 22 and my router arrived on time. I called 0800 800 150 to see what I had to do next. ‘You probably won’t have to do anything. It should…

Sky Broadband "Fair Usage Policy"

I've recently received an email from sky informing me that I have exceeded the download limit for my package and that should I do it again in the next 5 months, they will automatically upgrade my braodband to the next package up which has an unlimited…

What are Sky like for Broadband?
I've done a search but can't find much info here so thought I'd start a thread asking for opinions/experiences on Sky's offerings. I already have Sky+ (just upgrading to HD+) - so I wondered what the rest of the package was like ... i.e. Sky Broadband with or without SkyTalk. I have a BT line and use an unlimited/anytime…

Virgin Intermittent
Anyone having problems with an intermittent connection with Virgin? Ive never had this problem but the last week or so Ive noticed the signal to disappear for up to 30 seconds at times.

Losing connection with Sky Broadband Max
I've had Sky Broadband for over 18 months now and it has generally been ok. It was slow at one point but a quick e mail to Sky sorted that out. A few months ago, the router packed up with a variety of lights showing when it was switched on and no internet connection. I went out and bought a new Belkin router not realising…

The true cost of broadband
I think I'm getting a good deal with my broadband and bemused by the cost some of my colleagues pay for their broadband at home. I'm currently with Tiscali, paying £5 per month for 8mb speeds though it's more like 5 or 6mb. Obviously I have to pay line rental each month, which is £11 to BT, but I want to know what other…

Internet problems
I've had terrible internet problems over the last few days. Thinking it may be weather related but that wouldn't answer the xbox problem. 3G on the phone seems to be completely off so no internet or web mail through that. Also can't connect to certain games on the xbox. Very bizzare. Rang the game manufacter (Activision)…
