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…

BEWARE Virgin Broadband reward con
I signed up for Virgin Broadband through the MSE website as it gave a £75 reward. I now have my contract and it is not mentioned. Checked with Virgin who say I can't have the £75 as it's not in the contract! MSE now state on their website that Virgin are offering a £125 reward. Please be warned that Virgin are not…

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. I'm paying them £56 a month, so when I saw this deal it looked much better. I selected the package but when I went to the checkout to complete the purchase the details had suddenly…

BT - Out of Contract?
So why are BT sending me emails titled: 'Stompa, did you know you’re out of contract?', and saying Hello Stompa, It looks like you're out of contract. But don't worry, renewing is super easy. Plus, do it now and enjoy the exciting renewal deal that we've saved for you. If I log in to my account it says: 'Your contract ends…

Openreach Engineer broke my TV
I'm not sure if this is the right place but aim struggling to find any information regarding my rights on this matter.

Plusnet Renewal Due - Query re Options
Currently with Plusnet for part-fibre with phone line, renewal a few weeks away. Slightly thrown today by finding out that FTTP isn't available after being told that it was for months.

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.

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.
