Monthly internet + line rental
Need to get a proper broadband connection for a short-term property. Monthly is preferable but could go up to a 3 month contract. Maybe 6 month too. I really don't want to have to fork out over £30/month as it would be just for me. Priorities: 1. Truly unlimited. 2. Cheap. 3. Fast. Is this possible at all? Or do I need to…

Advice as to how I get myself out of this!: Talktalk
I'm with Talktalk. I've been with them for over 5 years now and what started off as a decent service is now so unreliable it's beyond a joke.

Am I right in thinking.......
Openreach are installing fibre in my area in the new year. Am I right in thinking they will be replacing the copper wires with fibre up to the street cabinets ? If so,does that mean if I remain on a non fibre contract (currently upto 8Mb ) I will get the benefit of a more stable and slightly faster connection ?

I rang to ask if I cancelled BB and kept the TV…
