Suspicious BT emails
Formally with BT and now with EE, I’ve been having emails supposedly from BT asking me to review my email settings in readiness for some sort of upgrade in January I think it was. Also asking me to click on a link if I needed to know anything. Obviously not going to, just asking if anyone else had these?

Is my vodafone router working properly? fttp 500mbps
I am 1 week into a 24 mth Vodafone 500 contract. I can still cancel. Speed to the property as measured on the ookla speedtest and using an ethernet cable varies between 90 and 453, usually between 250 and 350. So into the house is OK. Best speed to laptop and phone is on 2.4g band and is between 50 and 60. Is that to be…

Any of you one time BT customers been EE customers & can comment on any differences?
Specifically full fibre. I was with BT. Very happy with the (300mb) service, not happy at all with the price (£42 shifting to £45 out of contract) and so I jumped ship and went with Sky on their 900mb deal. Within 24-48hrs I was looking to move away from Sky. Whether it's their Sky Max Hub hardware being the issue or…

Sneaky Bill Changes Onestream Final Bill
Everything was fine until I tried to switch to another provider. Broadband has been good, with minimal disruption but price had increased by nearly 30% in 18 months.

When can an "EX BT" customer become a "NEW" EE customer.
My BT internet 500 contract at £49 a month finishes on 16th September. It included landline and extender disks, both of which I no longer require as I have moved 100% mobile for phone and installed a Mesh system. I have a preference for staying in the BT/EE/Plusnet environment but in the interests of saving money I want to…

Pushy Sky phonecall, full fibre upgrade
I have just received a phone call from Sky, where I was being pushed to switch to full fibre from my existing Superfast 35 deal. Is this legit? He sent some information via my email, and then wanted me to access it and read it whilst on the call. As it would take me a while to start my PC and log in to my email, I…
