BT broadband / EE when is a new customer not a new customer
Just thought I'd share my ignorance and stupidity. I have been paying for a BT broadband and TV service but have been out of contract for at least a year. Rang BT 28th Nov and (I should know better) agreed a new "discounted" contract deal cheaper than my out of contract monthly cost. To be honest I was saving money so…

Brsk - coming soon; a few queries
Had a couple of (cold) callers from brisk this morning, will be starting work in the area soon, keen to get mobile number or email address so they could keep us advised but I suspect more from a sales perspective. Hadn't had any advance notice of their imminent arrival so been looking at their website. Apparently they'll…

Sky Broadband Signup with Voucher - is it possible?
Tried last week to sign up for Sky broadband via the link in the comparison. It kept erroring at the screen when trying to schedule an engineer - by clicking back and going forward several times, I finally managed to get it to load - and then it gave the same error once I had put my bank / card details in (the exact point…

speed suitable for me
Hi, I'll soon switch from Talk Talk broadband-line. I'm not sure which provider would be suitable for me. I'm the only person using internet at home, not doing too much with my PC, laptop and phone. I don't want Sky. I've seen that: Vodafone offers Fibre broadband 45Mb-71Mb speed for a real value of £17.84. And also: Fibre…

Broadband/phone
Hello. Could anyone advise? My very elderly parents who live far from me need to change from their TalkTalk deal where they have broadband, some kind of strange TV setup and a telephone.

BT Social Tariff - Have I been duped?
When my BT contract was up for renewal, I asked about the social tariff as I had seen it promoted by Martin. I am a long-time BT customer and have Fibre 2 with the discs as I have an old house with poor WIFI coverage. I am on UC as I am a single parent and student with 3 dependants (separated 3 years). Anyway, the advisor…

Talk Talk Broadband - should I?
To cut a long story short, i'm FTTC with BT charging me a fortune and unwilling to reduce it. Plusnet and EE will not supply as my address is not in their postcode checkers. Talk Talk looks to be offering me BB part fibre access for £28.00 which I'm open to. Searching Talk Talk on this forum brings up a few complaints but…

Issues when switching Landline/Broadband/TV
My father is 92 and I discovered a few months ago that he was being ripped off by Sky and BT, paying well over £170 per month for his landline/Sky and broadband services. He had been with Sky for 11 years straight and BT for longer. My biggest regret is not talking to BT and Sky on his behalf to negotiate lower charges at…

Which broadband?
I currently use BT for my broadband, but the other day I decided to look at their deals and see if they had a different package I could choose.
