Plusnet woes
Hello I took out phone and broadband with Plusnet. An engineer was meant to come out today, so I have taken the day off work. They sent a text at 9:30 saying the phone line was connected. After about an hour of messing about, I have been informed that the engineer now won't need to call. I have still lost a day's takings,…

Virgin advanced line rental
I recently phoned VM asking them to reduce the price of my package (its crept up from about £40 to £53 over the last 2 years) and they obliged by reducing my broadband speed (will I notice? no). This seemed to knock £5 off the bill, which was fine. After I finished on the phone, I read about line rental saver (I knew BT…

Sky - Is this hidden continuity?
The info page for Sky Go's Monthly Ticket has the headline: "Watch Sky online without a subscription" help.sky.com/tv/sky-tv-on-other-devices/watch-sky-online-without-a-subscription What it doesn't mention at any point is that, if you sign up, they can bill you repeatedly.
