I chose the Sky deal for £20.95 a month in 24 month contract, but when taken to the sky website it wouldn't complete just said "there is an error".

Onestream Refusing Contract End Date
Hey all. I signed up to Onestream 2 years ago and stupidly forgot to give them bang on 30 days notice. I decided to switch to Sky who notified them and were willing to pay up to £200 in fees. With 2 weeks left of my contract Onestream emailed me shortly after saying they would charge me over £240 in fees. Madness. They…

Haggling Works
Just got my Virgin M125 BB down to £19 ppm, by rejecting the various, more expensive, renewal offers they threw at me, telling them I wanted to initiate the 30 days notice cancellation process, then sitting back and waiting for their next move. Got a call from their retentions department today (I only cancelled yesterday),…

Routers, Zen & Landline handsets
I've just switched to Zen & one of the things then engineers didn't check was the landline. So far we can get incoming calls, but trying to make outgoing the phone reads 'line in use' So can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced VOIP phone other than Zens own recommend. Also, routers, it seems co's are tying in…

Out of the blue i received an email from my broadband provider, TalkTalk, telling me I had requested a cancellation of my contract. This came as news to me because I didn't.

Does BT assume you'll stay loyal regardless?

Lost phone number FTTP
So I transferred from Vodafone FTTP to Sky (using the offer on here on ~20Aug) During the sign up process I selected I wanted to keep my existing phone number and the process confirmed I could.

data only sim or not for mifi
While we sort out broadband, we are going to use a mifi connection for a month or so. We have looked at Three, and there seems to be quite a difference in payg data only sims, and sims that include calls/texts. The latter is less expensive. I have done a bit of research and can't find a definitive answer - do I have to use…

When & how did you get your sky broadband gift voucher?
I've been activated for just over a week. Contacted sky who say it's not their business, it's giftcloud. I search giftcloud & their contact looked to me like it was for businesses to contact them, not Joe Bloggs. Just wondering how long you had to wait? Whether you had to do something to trigger it (beyond signing up…

Suspicious BT emails
Formally with BT and now with EE, I’ve been having emails supposedly from BT asking me to review my email settings in readiness for some sort of upgrade in January I think it was. Also asking me to click on a link if I needed to know anything. Obviously not going to, just asking if anyone else had these?
