Vodafone offer via MSE is a con?
Tried on several occasions now over the last few days to sign up to a new Vodafone broadband contract as promoted by MSE, paying £23 per month, equivalent to £18.50 per month with £155 giftcard; despite being available in my area I get an error message every single time, requesting that I phone Vodafone - but then they…

This happened a week ago and Openreach say it will take up to another week or two to fix the issue.

Why does porting new VoIP landline numbers seem so difficult to service providers?
Ofcom brought out new regulations in 2024 on porting landline numbers but are the companies following them? I’ve decided to change my FTTP broadband and VoIP phone provider from EE after years of service with them to great deal from sky. My broadband switched phone works with sky number as normal but still no number change…

Virgin Media - Struggling To Cancel Without Penalty/Notice Period
I've come to the end of my 18 month deal with Virgin Media. I've been with them for 20 years plus and for the first time I'm unable to negotiate a deal. I want to leave as the price is raising from it's discounted cost of £78 to £239 per month. I received the e mail notifying me that my contact was coming to an end on…

Vodafone digital voice to Sky digital voice
I have FTTP Broadband with a digital voice line with Vodafone. If I change to Sky broadband with digital voice, on the signup page it asks if I have Broadband and Landline, or Broadband only. I want to keep my phone number, so do I need to pick Broadband and Landline or is that only for those switching from FTTC/ADSL? If…

Husband Died - EE want to increase contract length & monthly cost to transfer contract into my name
I would really appreciate some help - I am usually quite tech and money-saving savvy, but my husband's death 8 weeks ago has knocked me for six, and I am really struggling to know what to do for the best. My late husband took out a 2-Year contract with EE for full-fibre 500 broadband and a landline phone in March 2025. The…

Do I need a land line?
I’ve just had my Broadband renewal quote from EE. Again, it’s gone up quite a bit for the same service. With EE I have Broadband and a land line. The land line seems to add quite a bit to the cost of my Broadband and I’m not really sure I need it. I do have my GiffGaff mobile and never use any ‘minutes’. Would I be able to…

Why do different ISP's list different potential fibre capability?
I have been considering getting a social tariff broadband for a few years now, I hardly use the internet so I manage with mobile or visit a neighbour if I have something big to download. I saw the MSE Social Tariffs page and it seems that BT is the cheapest but I thought I would look into paying a bit more for a faster…

I want an anytime call package Is there no way to select this or add it on? The only add on options in the entire process…

EEWIFI / BTWIFI - Finally time to Dump BT after 40+ years as customer????
I have been telling my uncle and aunt to DUMP BT and get an MSE deal for ages but they have a unique household and are loathe to change suppliers despite obscene pricing. MSE deals for Fibre Broadband start at around £19 a month, well they are paying around £75 a month for Broadband and another £35 for Sports which only…

Contract was no price increase for 24 months - they reneged in less than a year
I have a phone call recording of when I signed up to Sky. I clearly said I didn't like the mid-contract price increases and the person on the phone offered 24 months no price increase and I accepted. Less than a year on and I get an e-mail saying they are increasing prices by £3 a month and gave me 30 days to call them to…

Have broadband prices taken a dip in recent times?
My BT broadband has gone up in price. It's now just over £40/month for broadband only. 300mb connection. Thankfully the contract ends in August because I'll be on my way at that price! Just now had a look to see what's out there on offer. MSE show Sky, YouFibre, Virgin, PlusNet all in & around the £20/month marker. Ok a…

Many other people still on PSTN/copper broadband?
I know it was just under one fifth of households towards the end of last year. We are still on our copper line and it's doing the job, on some retained deal from The Phone Co-op that hasn't motivated us to switch. I thought a line fault in February might have been our time, but to my surprise Openreach mended it after a…

Haggling with EE with multiple networks in the area
Has anyone had any luck when haggling with EE? Where I live, there are three fibre network providers: OpenReach, CityFibre, and County Broadband. After a lot of faff, Openreach finally managed to thread the fibre to my house. Now I'm more than happy with EE, but has anyone managed to haggle with EE when in the CityFibre…

Leaving Gigaclear
Has anyone tried to leave Gigaclear? I was on a promo contract and now the deal has finished the price has shot up. I've found a new much cheaper provider who said they'd handle all the switching process, yet now it seems they can't as Gigaclear won't let new providers deal with cancellation and switching. As I'm out of…
