Unlimited mobile data sim advice
I unexpectedly moved to a new house on Tuesday and urgently need a mobile data SIM to be able to work from home. Today, I tried a Smarty Mobile PAYG data sim (unlimited plan), but the 4G speeds at my new house were terrible (wasn't able to work at all), despite the online coverage checker indicating that 4G speeds would be…

Vodaphone VOIP telephone numbers
I've signed up with Vodaphone for a fibre broadband connection that come with a VOIP phone facility. Before I agreed to signing up I asked the agent would the phone number allocated relate to the location I lived at and he confirmed that it would. Imagine my frustration when I receive a notification advising me that…

ISP says I'm under a contract
My ISP has just sent an email saying they will increase the price by 7.7% in April and that I am under contract, but as far as I'm aware the fixed contract ran out in October 2022 if not earlier. They did offer me another fixed contract last April but I never responded and have being paying £31.49 per month, instead of…

Does VM request hub return if leaving?
This is a daft question I know. But there is a reason 😂. I'm looking to leave Virgin Media and if I do do they request the hub/modem back? I'm assuming they will. It's just that the hub is in our spare room which nobody can access because of the crap that's just been dumped in there.

Disconnection fees if moving from NowTV Fibre to Virgin and later back again (out of contract)
Years ago, I remember there were large fees if you stopped ADSL completely, even outside of contract. This was to cover the cost of someone going to the street cabinet and disconnecting the line. Then there was a reconnection fee if you came back, though BT Broadband waived that. Do these fees still exist/apply for fibre?…

XLN For Small Biz
Hi, does anyone use the above ISP, XLN? I want to connect a a WiFi Extender via WPS to the XLN Router but every attempt the XLN Router simply locks-ups.

Gigaclear, charging existing customers more that twice the cost for new members
It may just be my dealing with gigaclear. I live in rural Gloucestershire and had to use satellite broadband as even the BT copper wire was 0.25 Megabit - so next to useless. We moved to Gigaclear when it was being installed in our village and it has been good. My surprise however came when my fixed contract period came to…

If you want to you can upgrade to 900 mb and get a £50 prepay card to spend, so it will pay for you phone while you think of the bandwith you need and…

Anyone else had this problem? It doesn't give you the option not to click on it, and it's £5.95 per month!

Communicating with City Fibre is a nightmare
I had an exchange of emails about my installation with City Fibre, they simply sent me links to their FAQ pages. My questions were not addressed so I emailed again and again and again, they are quite literally ignoring me. I even tried a message on X which they ignored. At the same time their marketing machine keeps…

Virgin Fibre April increase
When I renewed my contract last year I asked about the April increase for this year and the adviser said even though I will not be able to leave my contract due to the price increase I should call them anyway and they might be able to do something I called a few days to ask if the April increase could be waived due to my…

TalkTalk Eero 6 or Deco M4
I've just renewed my TalkTalk Fibre 150 contract and they've sent me an additional Eero 6. I've previously avoided using the supplied Eero because I believe they are locked to the TalkTalk Service, and didn't want to buy additional Eero nodes for a system that I'd likely need to return when leaving the service. Instead…

Piggybacker switching to a different mobile operator
Hello everyone! I currently use a Vodafone 4G SIM for my home broadband. Where I live only 4G from Vodafone and O2 works. I can get a better deal from Tesco Mobile (on the O2 network) but my question is this - if half way through my contract Tesco split with O2 and switched to another mobile operator who doesn't cover my…

Direct Save
I am currently with a company called Direct Save who I think are based in Watford. I have tried on numerous occasions to move my broadband and phone to another provider. However, each time they have blocked it as apparently they have a "Monopoly" on the estate where I live. I thought it was illegal to have a "Monopoly" and…

Hi, I have signed up for Onestream 80 broadband (supplying my own TP-LINK Archer VR2800 router), going live in 10ish days. Since then, I've discovered they are using Vodafone's network.
