Fast broadband options (London) other than Virgin - twist or stick?
We have Virgin M350 Fibre broadband and are now out of contract, so looking at other options to save money and possibly improve the service. £36/month currently. It's fast, some of the time, but not that reliable, and especially annoying on Sunday nights (though maybe any broadband would be). Two adults, some home working,…

Anyone know what's going on with WeFibre (Telcom spinoff)?
I was wondering whether anyone on here has had FTTP supplied by WeFibre or any of the other Telcom spin-offs (BeFibre, etc). They've offered to supply Fibre to Property under the Gigabit voucher scheme and we signed up a couple of years ago. Now they finally seem to be running cabling in our West Yorkshire village and "1…

Trying to get fibre
So two years ago we asked for bt broadband. Openreach disconnected us but there was no room in the cabinet so they left us without anything. This went on for a few weeks for us to insist they put us back onto copper. They then did the same a few weeks later. In May they offered us fibre again, I said I’d think about it…

Switching from BT to Virgin Media
Hi, looking for some advice. About to switch from BT to Virgin but wondering what that means if in 18 months I decide to switch back, is there a reconnection fee associated with this? I’m currently on BT Fibre 1 (FTTP) with the digital phone line. I know I’ll lose my landline but I never use it so not really an issue.…

Switching from Hyperoptic - phone line
I'm looking to switch from Hyperoptic to a BT based provider for broadband as I can get a better deal. I don't particularly care for a phone line, but know some providers need one for a broadband connection. I've had Hyperoptic for over a year, not paying a line rental, so I guess any phone line I may have had in the past…
