5G instead of FTTC
We're with TalkTalk for our broadband (rock-solid 67Mbit, FTTC) but we don't use it for about half of the year because we're not home. In the other half we use it often though do no streaming at all and rarely big downloads, more browsing, email and web development. So I've ordered and received a Scancom Three SIM…

Switch to UW from BT - is UW Talktalk in disguise?
Help please. I'm out of contract on BT. I have been paying over the odds for benefits that they now admit I can't receive on the Halo package. I'm now looking at UW as if I bundle I will get a slightly better deal on my energy costs. However, is UW talktalk? When I go on the TalkTalk site, it says it cannot quote me for…

New Full Fibre wires are looking a complete mess, I'm thinking of going to a 5g sim router instead.
BT Openreach are making a complete mess of the houses where I live as the new 'Fibre to Premises is being 'looped' around the front of smart looking houses with the new wires not being able to turn 90 degrees around corners, bends, under soffits and through walls etc. It is all looking a complete mess. I am now seriously…

Any thoughts on Three 5G only (no landline) broadband?
Totally fed up with our local Vodafone BB over our contract time - advertised as 60mb but often down to 15 or 30 - had numerous engineer visits and temporary fixes but always dropping out, intermittent, super slow... However, we have really good 5G here and this morning I'm getting over 200mb - crazy fast. Thinking of…

Cashback when switching between NOW and Sky
I know that Sky is the parent company, but does anybody have any recent experience of transferring between NOW and Sky as far as cashback is concerned? I’m pretty sure I’ve done it in the past and it worked, but the recent price increase email for NOW came from Sky. And during the sign-up process, it says, ‘It looks like…

My broadband contract ends soon. How to renegotiate or switch and avoid the out-of-contract hike?
My broadband contract ends at some point in February. (I found the exact date another day but have lost it again, go figure). As far as I can find out, when it ends Vodafone will hike the price up by £3 (currently paying £25/mth for 45/16 speeds). But if I switch before the contract ends I will be stung with early…

BRSK vs VIRGIN ONT
I have decided to switch my ISP from Virgin to BRSK. I understand FTTP vs FTTC, however, will a BRSK ONT have to be installed next to the ‘yet to be defunct’ Virgin one, or would BRSK engineers likely take advantage of where Virgin have already accessed my property. My thought is that they will need to make their own…

Can anyone tell me how to find a past Plusnet deal for new customers?

sky wall to wall wifi guarantee
I live in a detached bungalow with internal concrete walls, I can only get wifi, currently with BT, using booster/extender discs in 2 of the bedrooms. I have just ordered a new sky package with guaranteed wifi in every room. I don't think sky's wifi 7 will extend to those bedrooms without extenders. Sky say I will have to…

Avoid Sky Broadband- failed installation, no accountability, system stacked against consumer
Hi all, I’m posting to share my experience with Sky Broadband and to ask if anyone else has faced similar issues, or has advice on escalation. I waited 7 days for an installation. Sky told me the engineer would call an hour before arrival — no call came. The engineer turned up unannounced, said they’d do some work outside,…
