Barefaced Lies from TalkTalk sales?
I've just spoken to someone at the TalkTalk 'sales' team. I was enquiring about the disruption that might be caused by having fibre optic broadband installed. The man I spoke to told me "it comes through the air so there's no disruption. We don't have to put any cables in because it comes through the air. If you go to…

Madasafish - Plusnet

Newcall / Primus question
G'day all, So, we're with Primus Homesaver / Newcall Telecom for landline and broadband. Made the mistake of moving house, silly us, and transferring the account has proven too much for the poor things to accomplish.

Three MiFi
Sorry but I can't post a link as a newbie. Someone explained mifi to me and it's saved us a fortune. For years we have used dongles as we have no landline. Vodafone have increased their prices on dongles recently and it's now £20 every 30 days for 3gb. I have always wanted a tablet but never thought I could have one…

Beware - 10GB Orange EE Data Plan
I bought a 3G iPad and used a mix of wifi and 3G on a 5GB (£15/month) plan. I moved where I worked and lost access to wifi so my 3G usage went up through the 5GB limit. Each month Orange would charge me per MB for the extra - fair enough. After 3 months I decided that I ought to upgrade to the 10GB plan (£25/month) so that…

BT infinity question
Strange question on BT forum - even more confusing answer Do I need a BT phone landline to get BT Infinity?
