However, because I am planning to move house next year and I don't know whether I'll be able to take my broadband with me (I may end up in…

Getting away from Virgin landline+broadband+TV
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't see anything when I searched. After a few recent bad experiences with Virgin customer support, I'd like to get my mother (in her 80s) moved away.

Community Fibre - Installation Experience
Hey guys, We were all set to switch from Vodafone to Community Fibre, but the install has left me a bit uncertain. From what I can tell, being an overhead customer, I would need to have a cable run from the gutter, all the way down the house and then have a box on the outside, and the inside. It also seems the location of…

Cheapest VoIP options to keep landline number
It seems that most of the broadband companies are either ditching landline provision or hiding the details in their post-PSTN packages, most like "BT Voice" as it's called seem to charge over the odds. VoIP doesn't need to be tied to the broadband provider and existing numbers can be ported. However, it doesn't seem as…

To FTTP or not to FTTP
In my area Openreach has not upgraded the BT network to fibre so Open reached based broadband providers like BT, Plusnet, Sky do not provide fibre broadband. In the last two years fibre only networks have been visible in the area and companies like Community Fibre and G-Network have put their own fibre networks. They…

Want to take ISP to ofcom complain, will accept some compensation
Cancelled on a rolling contract because of steep increases on May 2024. Ended up on retentions and they gave me an offer I couldnt refuse. But they didn't explain the term. The monthly was super low, but it was for 24 months. I am privately renting so I cannot be on a 24 month contract. Had they explained the terms I would…

Which broadband provider is better?
Hey I'm looking at getting broadband as a new customer. I can't get virgin media as it unavailable in my area. My family have had problems with BT previously. But I don't know if Plusnet, brysk or any of those new providers are any good? We have previously been with Sky and I don't think I've had any problems with them.…

Broadband Speeds
I recently upgraded my existing Vodafone Broadband account to 910mbps from 300mbps. Since the upgrade, I am still only achieving the same speeds as before the upgrade (approx 230mbps). I spoke to Vodafone and they have said the speed of 910mbps is only achievable over an Ethernet connection (I don't use Ethernet…

Fibre cable detached from house
I have full fibre broadband, which went down for a short while today. It has now started working again on its own so I guess it was a remote issue, but while I was checking this, I noticed that the fibre cable that the engineer clipped to my house last year is hanging down in one place where the clip seems to be not fully…

Returning to BT line after virgin - without FTTP
I'm thinking of moving my broadband to Virgin, and cancelling my current Vodafone broadband. This would save me money over the 1 year contract with virgin.
