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…

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.

Do I really have to change to FTTP + Digital Voice next week?
My 24m BT broadband contract is about to expire. We have an alarm system that will not work with digital voice, so I'm keen to retain copper pair access for as long as possible. However, it appears the only BT options I now have are to go to 'Fibre 2' FTTP next week when the existing contract expires. I phoned BT to…

Sky Cancellation Period
Hi, I'm looking to push Sky to offer me a much better deal (heavily reduced costs, full fibre etc) by cancelling and hoping I get a retention offer before it expires. I'm aware there is a risk they won't offer what I need, but my neighbour did similar and got a much better deal (£30 less a month than they offered me on the…
