I have not had broadband for several years, instead relying on mobile data and odd hotspots. I noticed that BT Social Tariff has come down a bit to £16 a month according to this MSE link (plus router) and I am considering it https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/compare-broadband-deals/broadband-social-tariffs/ Speed check…

Virgin Media pricing models
Why is trying to find out how much your broadband provider will be charging you after the promotional discounts and contract ends so hard? Is there any way to get at the real costs of say the M125 broadband costs once you're out of contract?

Full Fibre installation - will they pull through fibre internally?
Following a renewal with BT, I have to have Full Fibre installed, they say. I've watched the various videos, and my house layout isn't one where fitting the ONT terminal the other side of a front wall position will be easy/practical. BT's blurb says you will get a new socket near your old one, but that could be anywhere…

Sim card router to replace landline internet and phone
Currently I have a landline connection for both phone and broadband, even though the phone is routed over the internet. I would like to replace this with a sim card router since I don't use a great deal of data and can get a 120GB sim for £10 per month instead of the £40+ I'm currently paying. I have 5 or 6 phone…

Just received an email from my broadband provider TalkTalk today 21st July that as from 30th June I've been 'selected' to be transferred to Utility Warehouse where I will 'benefit' from extended services to customers across the UK.

Could I get a refund for EE overcharging me
Hi all I have been with EE broadband for 10 years, and currently being charged £56 a month for 40mb broadband. I was on EE TV, the original one, which was deactivated a few years ago. I think they just knocked a few quid off at the time. Somehow, I've been on the same plan "EE
TV, Fibre & Weekend landline" for all this…

BT Reward Card Fail via MSE
Hi, I've been unsuccessful in claiming, as a new customer, the BT reward card. I signed up to the deal via MSE.

I have left it a few weeks after the broadband package has been live so that…

Has anyone taken up Sky's 'Full Fibre at no extra cost' broadband offer, and if so, how'd it go?
Sky is offering me an appointment for an engineer to come over and upgrade me to Full Fibre 75 at no extra cost or changes to my existing contract, apparently. It does sound quite enticing tbh, as I'm currently locked into a 24 m contract running until the 18th of November 2026, for Superfast 80 broadband (67mps but…

Anybody using or used 'Community Fibre' broadband? Too good to be true?
I got a leaflet through the door advertising their services and now they're on the comparison websites. They are in my area. Their offers e.g. 920Mb download AND upload speeds for £22.09 per month are absolutely astounding so can't help thinking there must be a catch. They literally blow the competition out of the water.…

Is it now possible to retain a BT internet email address and switch to another broadband provider?
My elderly Dad really should move away from BT as his broadband/landline provider as their costs are way higher than competitors. Two years ago, they 'seduced' him into getting a three hub system (he lives in a two bedroom apartment in a retirement complex) which was really not necessary. However, he absolutely can't face…
