Broadband and landline package for vulnerable elderly person with council emergency alarm
Have an elderly parent who lives on her own. She has an emergency pendant alarm supplied by her council and is in an area with very poor mobile signal - so cannot rely on mobiles if there is a power/internet outage.

Sky broadband, new customer
I need to renew my broadband as my contract ends soon. I just did a price comparison and sky is cheaper than renewing with my current provider. If I switch now will I get hit by a price rise in April as it will be a new contract starting in March? It would seem very unethical to do that?

Broadband for intermittent usage - 4G?
Wondering if this makes sense: ditch an existing expensive VDSL line, and replace it with a 4G modem/router on a 2GB cheap monthly data sim, then just buy a 30-day 'unlimited data' add-on when I'm actually on site? Inherited a house, but it needs a fair bit of work doing before we sell it on. I'll only be there for 3 weeks…

Why is BT punishing me for being a loyal customer
I've been a loyal BT Broadband and landline customer for over eight years, and my contract is now up for renewal. However, the deal I’m being offered is terrible, both on BT and the new EE packages. BT won’t offer me any discounts unless I either remove my landline or get a new landline number—neither of which is an option…

TalkTalk completely unfit to supply broadband in the United Kingdom. Why can’t Ofcom hold them to ac
TalkTalk have told me that they have ‘manpower issues’ at their complaints call centre and that is why they won’t put me through. They wasted a day of my week insisting I be at my flat for OpenReach engineers so they could change my landline from analogue to digital ( VoIP). I already had fibre optic cabling and TT…
