New FTTP Broadband Slower Than Expected
I've just had a new full fibre connection installed (FTTP) and the speed is nowhere near what was promised. I want to ask, does anyone know if it takes time for a new connection to settle out like the old ADSL/VDSL (FTTC) ?

Problem with post code - help
Hello I live in a 'new' postcode that was created in 2019. This was as a result of a house that stood there being split into 4 separate houses. The street number remains the same.

BT Overcharging? And Switching from FTTC to FTTP
TL;DR Why is she being charged £52.91 for internet currently and £59.17 next month when Full Fibre 100 for example is £34.99 (With phone) or £29.99 (without.)?

Sky Ultrafast Plus Broadband - thoughts?
I'm currently paying £40 a month for TalkTalk, around 41 Mbps (Yes I know... rip-off), and I can move to Sky at 500 Mbps for £32.18 month contract.

ISP started new contract without notice
I looked at my Plusnet Broadband account (as it had 5 days of 18 month contract left) and found they've already kicked off a new contract at £22 pm more! No notice, I thought they had to give you some. How do you cancel...ring? Or re-negotiate? Hate the faff of this. Any advice?

FTTC will I need a new master socket installed?
Have recently given Virgin media\NTL notice after 21yrs. Our only other option is FTTC but not sure if we have an acceptable master socket.
