Which broadband provider to chose?
Hi everyone, I've been using mobile data with a 4G Antenna for half a year but it seems I'm now available to receive fibre (only FTTC). The mobile data and Antenna has been a pretty good temporary solution (me and the mrs both WFH and watch Netflix). We usually get speeds of around 20mbps, sometimes it even hits 50mbps,…

Three's 5G Home BB?
Has MSE stopped recommending Three's 5G Home BB? It doesn't show on the MSE's BB Deals checker. I am about 500Mts from a 5G mast, and Three's BB did show up on a search until just recently. Does anyone know something?

VM charging me when on Free Tarrif (SOLVED)
Hi, I am on a very low income and I was able to get a phone and broadband package from Virgin Media that I could afford on the condition that all the calls were free from my landline. They agreed and they sent me a contract saying I get "Anytime Chatter" which they assured me means Free Calls any time. They already…

Virgin Media Price Increase
As if by magic, the day after Martin Lewis' show mentioned it, I received the email notifying Virgin Media's price increase. The cynic in me wonders if they rushed out the email in response to the show, in the hope that consumers that watch the show on catch up or hear the tip later will miss the email, since consumers…

Vodafone - £75 Gift Card Offer seemingly a lie?
Hello, We signed up to Vodafone in May last year after reading MSE on the understanding there would be a £75 gift card coming our way. Almost a year later, nothing has been received, and the gift card status just shows this: Has anyone had any success getting this? Cheers,Pete

Where is my contract on the BT website
I've tried to find my contract on the My BT section of the BT website. Found some old posts saying where to look but it appears BT have changed the pages, and it's no longer there (the pages don't even exist anymore). I am wondering if BT have buried it so deep to stop people reviewing their contracts in anticipation of…

Thinking of changing to Plusnet but...
Currently paying an eye-watering amount to BT for broadband (about 28-30 Mbps download speed) and unlimited phone so I was thinking of changing to Plusnet. However, when I go to the Plusnet website and check what's available I get shown two "Unlimited Fibre" packages for 2 different contract lengths *if* I don't tell them…

Sky Broadband and Phone - look out for the call charges
I recently switched from BT broadband and phone to Sky - and saved a tidy sum per month. I kept the landline capability as my wifes family always uses this to get in touch. This month, I got a nasty surprise - outgoing calls are charged at 69p per minute for local calls. In only 8 calls we built up charges of 30.00. Thank…

Unable to get sky deal which ends Feb 1st
Just wondered if anyone else has had trouble getting the fast broadband deal with money back, which brings deal down to £18? When I click on the link it says I'm eligible, but the sky site says I can only have their slower £30 a month connection.... I currently have a Vodafone broadband with 70mbps connection speed, so…

Haggle with Virgin Media during price hikes
Just wanted to mention I got an email from Virgin Media today to say they're raising prices. My broadband was due to go up £7 a month. I would have switched if necessary but would rather not (VM are the only fibre provider in my area and line rental around here is very slow). So I just popped onto the live chat and am now…

Looking to switch. Now or best to wait after April?
Title. Currently paying £40 for 100Mbps with Cuckoo. Looking to upgrade to 500Mbps. Vodafone seems the cheapest for £30/m, although it's 24m contract. However if I switch now I probably will get hit by the price hike in April. Right after they will probably adjust tariffs to still do rounded numbers. Is it worth waiting?…

5G broadband router suggestions
Hi All, With the cost of living crisis and mid contract price increases on the horizon I thought I would ask for some advice regarding a regular router that has a SIM card slot where I could use an unlimited data SIM card on 5G as my area via Vodafone has 5G enabled. I use Vodafone as my own mobile provider and the 5G…

Mid contract price increases
Having just got the Virgin Media price increase email, I'm looking at alternatives. I'm confused about the method of applying the increase. Virgin are applying the increase to the headline package price, so while I may only be paying £10 a month (£50 package, less £40 discount), they are adding a £7 a month increase! They…

Sky Social Tariff "no longer available"......???
Can anyone advise? I have been with Sky since 2016 and am a VIP member but currently not in contract paying £45. Mostly because I haven't had the sense or energy to switch. Every time I try, they try to lock me in to a further contract and I just lose the will to live with all the negotiations as invariably it ends up…
