Sky Fibre renewal - slightly complicated due to moving
My contract for Sky Broadband Ultrafast Plus (500Mbps) is ending in a few weeks, I am currently paying £36 and the renewal email is 'offering' £43/month for 24 months.

Google Chrome Browser doesn't have 'Sceenshot'.

New home, old fashioned broadband...

Thinking of taking your offer to switch to Vodafone for my broadband but there are a couple of issues. 1.
