Broadband charges are dictated by the type of exchange you are connected to. Previously those connected to "Market 2" exchanges were…

Plusnet wanting to leave-slow speeds
Been with Plusnet for 18 month's but the last month the speed is not poor it's almost non existent. Only 240kbs, have rung and spoke to technical help, tried different microfilters, then I thought it could be the computer, so tried the newer laptop, just the same!

BT Broadband advice for non-billing
Hi, Two years ago I ordered BT Broadband - they were the only one available at that location and I was loath to take it because I *detest* BT. However, I took out a 12 month contract. It's now two years later and I'm looking at other broadband providers and I quite like the look of Plusnet. Here are the (rough) numbers per…

Both frustration and praise for Virgin
I'm on the M broadband (10meg) but for several months I've often been getting very low speeds, 1.5 to 2.5 meg. I phoned up in July to be told that it was simply a busy area, and I'd have to live with it. I complained about this, but they said they couldn't do anything. I phoned again on Friday, and the lady (in the Indian…

BT Excess Charges Scam!
Hi all, I've just received a rather excessive bill from BT for £117 which includes £80 worth of excess internet usage charges.
