Broadband deals
In April, the price I have been getting for my broadband will go up as the discounts I have been given come to their end date. I am with virgin media and have got good deals with them in the past due to bargaining or leaving the company and then being called back with a better deal. I wanted to know, if this time I am…

Changing broadband provider
My broadband provider is plusnet, fibre to the cabinet then copper to my house. I rang BT to enquire about switching my service to them and was told that as my area was ready for fibre to the premises that would be the only service I would get. But I neither need or want fibre to my house, I just wantt to keep my existing…

Landline barring
I've been assessing my options but am finding it difficult to get a single piece of information I need. My requirement is simply to be able to bar all international outgoing calls. I've stayed with BT for many years because they offer this facility, but whenever I ask another provider I either get ignored or a negative…

Plusnet annual line rental cancelled
We are in an 18 month contract with Plusnet for phone and fibre broadband which finishes in Feb 2023. Apparently we will no longer be able to pay annually for our line rental upfront and this is one of the reasons or incentives why we stayed with Plusnet. It is more the convenience of keeping down costs over the year and…

NowTv phone & broadband renewal
For the 3rd year running Nowtv have kept the cost of my phone, which includes anytime calls & broadband at the same rate. With other companies I've used over the years, there's always been an often hefty price increase when the contract is up for renewal. I haven't got fibre, but I'm quite happy with what I have for the…

Sold on faster broadband but not provided the equipment for the speed
Hi, Plusnet sold me on Unlimited Fibre Extra when my previous contract with them was nearly up in 2018. It has come to my attention that they should have upgraded the modem and router - without the upgrade I can't get the service I have been paying for. I phoned Plusnet today and they agreed to send the newer/correct…

This is in accord with clause K of…

Vodafone Superfast100 Broadband / City Fibre - experiences ?
Hi,The MSE link to the Vodafone Superfast100 broadband winter sale offer ( ending on the 27th Jan) seems very good, but was always a bit wary of Vodafone from their past reports of poor service across the board. Looking on Vodafones own forum there seems lots of complaints about failed installation dates compounded by the…

Virgin Media can’t unbundle for job expenses
Hi I have a Mix Tv bundle with VM that includes anytime landline calls, line rental and 100 fibre broadband. Happy that my employer will reimburse broadband and phone line rental but needs to see the VM bill itemised. Vm say this isn’t possible. I’d like to stay with VM as it’s minimal hassle but I may be forced to move…

TalkTalk retention deal..
Currently with TalkTalk. Current deal ending early next month. Started the switch to Now broadband as they have a 12 month deal of full speed FTTC (Up to 70 meg), line rental and any time calls for £21 / month so just over half the price of TT. Got a call from the TT retentions team today. They offered me the same deal as…

Left Virgin Media finally!
After more than 3 years with Virgin Media I am happy that I managed to leave them next month! Although their fibre speed is great, but being with with them is not a peace to mind at all. Every year around January they increase their prices, and every time I have to call them and stay on hold to ask for an offer to cancel…
