in our front room, and we intend to take the PC upstairs. Having done a bit of
research, it would appear that a wired ethernet connection is the
fastest and most reliable method. However, this would appear to
involve drilling and other…

I have recently had a doorstep visit from Connect Fibre regarding their deals yet find no information about them on the site, yet they look to have a lot of good reviews on trustpilot.

CityFibre install: Can fibre be routed via existing Openreach duct to avoid surface cabling?
I’m looking to sanity-check what’s realistically possible with a CityFibre install I have happening in a couple of weeks, as keeping things tidy internally is very important to me.

Tried to sign up for Vodafone broadband - a bad experience!
I was hoping to sign up to a Vodafone broadband deal that seemed pretty competitive. However the sign-up process was awful. I think the problem was that I once had a MyVodafone account linked to a mobile number I no longer have. I ended up going round in circles and, despite several attempts at getting things sorted using…

This is making the area look a mess, an means there are two messy fixings to each houses' facia, brickwork or…
