Best broadband only deal
My granny is wanting to get a tablet (she can't use a computer, but can a tablet). She wants a 3G one and do PAYG. I'm trying to convince her that it would be cheaper to get broadband. She has her phone through Talktalk, so it's only broadband that she needs. Any advice or thoughts on what would be best to go for? She's…

Slow internet/old master socket
Hi, I'm going to help a neighbour with slow internet (1.5Mbps, neighbours get about7Mbps). However, checking the internal wiring showed up this old box (line jack?) as master socket. Their provider is Sky (with BT phone). If we talk nicely to Sky will they get BT to replace this for free?

Best for Phone and BB ?
I currently have a BT landline, and O2 just sold my Wifi to Sky. There is cable in the street, and I have Freeview. I don't want to pay extra for extra channels. Cost of both land line and Wifi is a bit over £35 a month. So what options would you persue?

Sky package reduction.
Hi one and all, I currently have a limited sky TV package, with sky unlimited broadband and line rental. The total is approximately £44. For the last 12 months, we have had the Internet package and line rental at half price, but that is now ending. On the basis that we watch little tv, I thought a cheaper way forward,…

BT Yahoo Homepage Changed
Everyone who used BT will have had their homepage changed to BT.com. I used to get financial information and relatively serious news on my homepage. I now get news on celebrities, Eastenders and the like. Anyone else noticed this? I have complained to BT and await their reply. Probably will be platitudes about their…

Do I *need* superfast broadband in London?
Hello! I'm moving into a new house in London and have never had to organise broadband/wifi before. I was wondering if I could ask some questions here as I know little about Technology and don't want to make the wrong decision since most contracts appear to 18 months. I've heard the speeds in London are fairly good. I was…

Being majorly !!!!!!ed around by PlusNet. What are our rights?
We signed up for PlusNet on 10th September, having taken over the tenancy on 1st July (we're students, hence the gap). They said it would take 10 days to be installed. Once we had paid our money, they said it would take a month to be installed, thus taking us up to 11th October. On the 11th October, we received an email…

BT - cut us off in error and taking weeks to reinstate broadband
Some weeks ago a sales person rang to offer us an alternative broadband provider to BT. My husband VERY carefully said that we might be interested in knowing the cost but were NOT making an order. The saleswoman kept referring to the 'order' and the 'switch over'. A week or so later a letter from BT arrived saying how…

50% Sky offer
I have tried to sign up to Sky using the 50% offer on the MSE main page and have been told that the unlimited broadband is not available at my address and they have offered an alternative "Broadband Connect" for £17 a month. What does this mean, does anyone know? Surely if broadband is available then isn't unlimited…

Sky tv
Just wanted a rant about how poor the service has been as a new customer to sky. Signed up when we moved, as Virgin could not supply our new house, and signed up to the Sports Pack after seeing that Broadband unlimited was free for 12 months with this pack. Paperwork arrived and showed Broadband Lite with a 2GB usage.…
