Fibre to property available - any reason not to?
Hi, community fibre is available in my area and the prices seem just as cheap as More traditional ( less fast) broadband options. Is there any reason not to take up Fibre to property? Thanks

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…

BeFibre FlexiMonth – 2 month installation delay – can I expect compensation?
Hi all, I began a FlexiMonth rolling monthly contract with no minimum term with BeFibre (150Mbps) in September. I chose BeFibre as they were the only provider offering no contract deals in my area. I am having some issues with the service. I will explain in more detail below; however, in short, BeFibre have so far failed…

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. After that, though, if I want to go back to a line installed by open reach companies only seem to want to offer me FTTP as this is now available in my area - which…

Fibre broadband and digital voice line.
Any recommendations for ISP's that supply both fibre broadband (FTTP) and a phone line (no inclusive calls needed, incoming only). Ideally a 12 month contract with no in contract price rises. Am currently with Zen on a monthly rolling FTTC + phone line as 12 month contract has expired. Have been informed that Full Fibre is…

Haggling for the Disabled
Hello, I am generally new to Moneysaving and am working my way around this site and this forum. I’d like to know how I can haggle successfully if I am deaf? Although I can speak and hear fine face-to-face, I am not so good at making/taking phone calls or video calls. I am due to reach the end of my contract with Sky by the…

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…

Moving house
Son moving into a house in a few weeks where there has been super fast broadband (looking at the sockets in the wall). He’s moving in on a Sunday. Is there any way of ensuring that the broadband is up and running on the day he moves in? House will be empty for a few weeks before he moves in. Will a router be posted or does…

Broadband with phone service
Looking at Sky/Now but I need a landline as I can't get a mobile signal at home. Is their phone service provided via a mobile like Whatsapp calls are or via a 'normal' phone, and would I have a 'landline' number that people could call me on? I'd also want PAYG landline but it looks like with Sky/Now (and Vodafone) just…

virgin broadband high price
I'm sure there is a thread somewhere. We have been customers too long, only as our email is @ntlworld.com. They inherited us. You can't transfer to another provider I believe? We have Volt M350 broadband simply because my son was working from home around covid, & needed a faster speed. Still working from home but now only…

We thought it would therefor be possible to have our own installed so instructed Fibrely as our new provider. Fibrely began by instructing Openreach to undertake installation,…

Starlink Internet
I've been looking at some rural broadband options for my property in Scotland and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on Starlink in the UK. Read up on some details about it on the Comparebroadbandpackages.co.uk website and seems pretty reasonably priced and has decent speeds. Mobile broadband is too slow in the area and…

Copper Switch-off: Can Onestream cut my internet off if I don't sign up to a new contract with them?
I have been with Onestream for about 4 years with no issue (and I know they don't have the best reputation). Over the last few weeks, they have harassed me on the phone (as in 3 or 4 calls one after the other if I don't answer, at several points throughout the day). On the two times I have answered, they have basically…

VOIP phones help please!
Apologies if this isn’t the right place to ask. BT switched landline over to VOIP a couple of years ago. The free phones they provided stopped working so I need to replace them, but I am so confused as to which phones I need to buy and which extra cables I may or may not need! I do have my old landline phones and I’ve read…

Is there any Broadband Standard WiFi router better than BT Smart Hub-2 ?
I was with BT Broadband for over four years, and the Smart Hub-2 WiFi performance was excellent in all rooms, as was the service (My 24 months contract nearing end in December). However, I have noticed many offers from companies like Vodafone and TalkTalk that provide better pricing . I’m wondering if there are any WiFi…
