Upgrading to FTTP
We
are switching from BT broadband FTTC to Sky FTTP. Our
current set up is that a traditional copper wire enters the house
near the front door. (CE in floor plan) When we bought the 17 year
old house 12 years ago we arranged for the master socket to be moved
from near the front door to the rear of the house (MS in floor…

Combined deals no longer compared
I have not seen any combined telephone and broadband deals compared recently. This is the deal I have been on for many years, and I do not understand why MSE seems to have dropped this comparison. Am I alone in still wanting this type of deal?

Reasonable price?
Sky intend to put my unlimited broadband (copper wire) up to £26.01 per month from April. I was migrated to Sky when they took over BE and still use the Thompson BeBox ("g" wi-fi) BE gave me, so that cost Sky nothing. I'm out of contract. £7.50 of the charge is for NOT having telephone services and TV from them - I get my…

New broadband choices
Been with BT for years and thinking of an change now I am out of contract. Not overly impressed with the service and speed, oh and price! Out of contract so now £48/month inc BT sport for Fibre 2. Very expensive. Considering virgin media’s M100 at £24/month which is up to 108mbs so a lot more than BT. Admittedly it doesn’t…

BT 'holding us hostage '
Our 24m broadband and tv contract with bt ended recently. Naturally, price went up and it is currently £34 for Fiber 1 only (as I cancelled tv for which apparently I need to pay for another month because they need 30 days notice even out of contract!). We were offered a new 24m contract for the same speed 49-50mb for…

Virgin Media have me trapped, what is best to do?
I'm paying £40.25 for super fast broadband and a SIM I didn't want, don't need and have never used. There are 2 of us in the house and a handful of devices, we don't need super fast connectivity. My contract ends in April 23 and to downgrade to 100mbs (which would cost £33 a month) I have to pay a disconnection fee of…
