How do I stop VM charging me £63...? (SOLVED)
Hi, I got an email from Virgin Media saying my £39 broadband was going up to £63 after Nov 3rd, after the 18 month "discount" ends. So I thought No problem.

Vodafone or Now?
Looking at moving away from BT as my contract is up in a few days and I'm paying way over the odds and they don't seem to want to come down much.

TalkTalk price increase
I recently got an email from TalkTalk stating that my broadband and tv package would be going up again.

Shell broadband charging £35 for supposedly not returning router

Nowtv contract ending
I am about to finish a 12 month contract for broadband at £17 per month. I got an email saying that I can keep the same package at £17 on a rolling monthly contract, or I can get exactly the same package for £35 as a 12 month fix. How does that make sense? If I stick with the rolling contract are they going to suddenly…
