Help needed - BT Infinity or Sky?
Hi all, My exchange has obviously been upgraded recently as I can now get FTTC from BT. I've looked into this and could get fairly good speeds of up to 35MB/s which sounds great. However, I've heard plenty of horror stories about BT broadband & speeds being throttled etc so I'm undecided :( The other option I'm considering…

How long does it take to get a phone line? BT taking the mickey...
I recently moved into a new flat. The previous residents asked BT to close their account but not disconnect the line completely, so that I could open my own account as soon as I moved in. On moving in I found that there was no working line in the property. I signed up with PlusNet internet on 3rd October and they organised…

Poor Broadband Speed, Stuck in Contrct
I am with BT for my 'Broadband'.... I was told I could receive 'up to 1MB'. This was the best I could get due to where I live...BUT.... Months into the contract, I find that my usual speed is a mere 500k/s... Ok, so technically it is 'Up to 1MB'.... But to me this is not enough and nowhere near the 'estimated' speed that I…

Name change with Virgin...?
My flatmate in whose name is the broadband is going to move in a month or so. We've contacted Virgin and they say that to change it into my name it will cost £20 and tie us to a new 12 month contract. I cant say that I'm particularly impressed by the service (although the speed is good!) and at the moment it is very…

Home Telecom
Hello! I need to get my internet + a phone line sorted. My landlord recommended hometelecom.co.uk (no doubt they get a slice of what I pay). I don't care so much about the contract length (most seem to be 12 month, home telecome offer from 6 months...), which seems to be HT's main selling point. They're also quite cheap…

Orange Broadband - Netgear router NOT UP TO THE JOB! replacement?
Hi folks looking for a bit of advice - our new Orange router is just not pumping out enough signal to get round our largish house. The old BT Home Hub was significantly better (in the same location).
