BT trying to bill us for their inadequacy - Help
Can anyone help. We had BT Broadband fitted on 20th May. I was complaining by 22nd May and have been ever since.

Bargains for broadband?
Good evening, I am due to move in to my house and I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any deals. We want to keep costs down as much as possible as we are first time buyers and obviously need to be extremely savvy for the first months as we are so used to the bank of mum and dad paying the bills every month.

With sky for bb - wish it was still o2
Does anyone else have the same problem as me. When I was forced to switch to SKY due to the takeover of o2, my BB download speeds increased by 50%, now 17-19Mbps.
