12 Month Contract Full Fibre
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help. My son has moved to a new flat. Their tenancy is for 12 months. They are having a lot of problems organising broadband. The area they are in has full fibre so any company they have contacted can only provide that (as opposed to copper wire broadband). Has anyone found full fibre…

Moving from Virgin back to Copper provider
Hi, we are reaching the end of our contract with Virgin and it may be cheaper to move back to an Openreach provider. When we left Vodafone broadband/home phone several years ago we had to pay £60. My understanding is that there is no longer a charge going either way, but is that the case? The Openreach socket should be…

Should i opt to accept ‘Digital voice’ option?
I’m probably going to be switching to BT and they offer the option of having ‘digital voice’ instead of a traditional landline, i know it’s essentially a landline over broadband connection but my confusion is when it comes to switching to another provider, will that cause me problems as it did when switching from Virgin to…

Stop Sell - Plusnet/John Lewis Broadband
I live in a property served by the Gedling exchange. Currently I have Now Broadband's 68Mbps-ish product which is a FTTC based service. Plusnet are telling me they can't take a switch from me because my exchange is subject to a 'stop sell' and they don't offer a full-fibre product. Is that accurate? Seems mad that I can't…

We still don't have any Broadband where I live in our rural area on the Shropshire / Cheshire border
It is frustrating, there are so many cheap deals for broadband yet there are still homes like ourselves in rural areas without any broadband connectivity at all, not even dial-up and as for fibre......not a chance. BT Openreach bypassed our area for better, richer pickings. Openreach have no plans for any network upgrades…

TalkTalk FTTP Router Configuration
Our TalkTalk FTTP (Openreach) is due for installation soon. TalkTalk provide an Amazon eero 6 router, which is all great, but having existing TP-Link Deco Mesh system, we'd loath to buy additional extenders for the eero to achieve full home coverage.

TalkTalk and Compensation
Hello, In December we completed a Home Move with TalkTalk and were sent the confirmation email that it was all live and running.

Virgin media recent new BB & Tel. Customers
Is your landline phone connected to the back of your router? If you have old phones, do they ring correctly? I think if you are vunrable you can have a phone line that works during a power cut. How does that work? Batteries or do they use the old 2 wire connection to your house?

Lead time for upgrade to fibre
Has anyone upgraded to fibre with BT recently? How long was the wait after placing the order? I know this may be a stupid question as we'll probably see the date when the order is placed. However, I'm going to visit my friend on March 17, and will set up the new router then: so she doesn't want it too many days before…
