NowTV SkySports Red Button?
Hi. Posting on behalf of a family member (which I said I would sort out). The TalkTalk contract is coming to an end this month - whereby the SkySports special deal will essentially more than triple in cost. Add to that they have just added extra charges - £4 for 'normal TV' (which I presume isn't any better than freeview?)…

Terminating Sky Fibre due to price increase
Last week I got the notification email that my Sky Fibre is increasing by £2. I was planning on switching anyway, when the contract ends on 20th March (in a couple of weeks).

Getting a better deal when BT is your ONLY provider
Hi! I’d really like some advice on how to get a better deal on our fibre broadband when BT is our only supplier. Our contract ends soon and they know that BT provides the fibre to the premises for our new build estate so they have us over a barrel!

How to time switching providers?
Broadband providers will give only a rough estimate of how long it takes. If you are on a contract with your current provider, then if you switch to early you may incur exit fees. Or you might already have a better deal than your new provider but which is due to expire, so you'd want to keep paying your current provider…

On moving to Fibre broadband after a cabinet update, we were guaranteed a MINIMUM speed of 42.9Mbps.

Will Plusnet be slower than Talk Talk?
I've been with Talk Talk forever, so a bit hesitant about switching but using the MSE broadband checker tool means it'll be cheaper with Plusnet.

Getting hold of EE was problematic as I'm deaf and the…

Per the phonecall, to take one payment only of £21.99. The letter is from "Guaranteed Telecom" but the…
