What am I missing? Is the Topcashback below as they offer more for the 36Mb? I…

EE vs BT vs Plusnet
Hi Moving into a new build soon, and a bit confused about the differences between the three broadband providers mentioned. I will have FTTP. I’ve been told I’ll need to contact BT for broadband but when I search for deals most providers recognise my new address so I assume going with any of them is okay. But I’m struggling…

How Can I Extend Fibre ?
Hi everyone, We have full fibre to our property, it comes into the property to an office room & is great, & can also be accessed by the room above.

Pop Telecom new customer bribe
I opted to join Pop Telecom back in early September 2023, I seem to recall a deal whereby after x months there's a reward which reduced the overall monthly bill average. I'm not 100% certain and could be getting mixed up with some other deal I compared but i'm marginally more sure than not that there was some kind of…

Exit fees when someone taking over
We had to leave the broadband contract early and were charged fees, roughly equivalent to the charges for the remaining 3 months in the contract.

seen a deal via quidco which gives an equivalent price for ultrafast plus (500mb) at £24.78. Would I be able to access this even as an existing Sky TV customer?

Plusnet - what a rip off!
Plusnet - my contract expired on the 4th of December ('23) and I'd decided to switch providers. All fine, so far, I then received a final bill from Plusnet covering 4th of December to 3rd of January - why? I've no idea and to rub salt into the wound it's at the "I don't want to extend my contract rate"; i.e. double what I…

Anyone using Truespeed?
Their offers seem not too bad? But I've been called their sales line for 3 days and no one ever answers! If that's a reflection of their customer service, they're not worth thinking about!
