Are upload speeds guaranteed? And 'superfast' infrastructure question.
I've been with Now Broadband on their Brilliant Broadband package for a few years. They've generally been good and my package seems like decent value because it includes line rental (I wanted to keep a landline phone).

Ancient BT master socket
I've recently purchased a property built in the 1960s, and am in the process of getting it renovated. My electrician (previously worked as a telecoms engineer) has pointed out that my master socket and the wires inside are really old - it still says 'Post Office' on it (and so predates 1981) and the wires inside are really…

BB and LL out of contact help
So I’m with xln at £40 per month for business bb and land line. Today I noticed it shot up to £100! I assume it’s out of contract and they have just put me on some stupid monthly stitch up bill. I haven’t had any notification of this change via email or letter so I’m quite annoyed. I only noticed as the £100 has just come…
