Should I switch to TalkTalk from Plusnet?
Hi, My Plusnet contract is up in a couple of weeks. Just been looking at options, Plusnet are offering me the same fibre at £27.50 to stay with them. Other options include TalkTalk at £23.50 a month but get a £75 voucher so works out at £19.33 a month for the same speed. Should I switch?

Vodaphone price increases - can I leave?
Just been informed of a 9.3% price increase on my braodband. I am 8 months into a 24 month contract. Delving into the terms and conditions it appears this increase is written in for each April. CPI increase + 3.9%. I don't remember that being a headline aspect of the deal when I bought it. It didn't say "£22 per month with…

Grandparents ripped off by Virgin broadband
Hi all, My wife's grandparents have been seriously taken advantage of by Virgin. They've been with them for years for their Internet. Their bills had been going up but they're a bit naive and assumed they were paying the going rate. They're paying £75 per month for 350mb broadband! This is a couple who are nearly both 80,…

Virgin
Following advice on the forum, I rang Virgin cancellation department. I got 25 minutes of ear-splitting dissuasive music and then the call was terminated without warning. Very disappointing service from Virgin.

What Plusnet can do and can't do
Hi there, Plusnet have said that they can't supply us with fibre, although we have the fibre cable right outside our house. Something to do with the green cabinet and the wiring (didn't get the exact details)... They told us only BT can do it, and BT are only offering 1000 Meg, which is a costly one. We don't want to leave…

Virgin problems
Due to Virgin now charging
£70 for broadband and landline I eventually managed to cancel with them but had
to give 30 days notice. Two days later
the landline died and they sent an engineer. He said the problem could not be dealt with without us cancelling the
notice, so we did and the only workround was for him to plug in…

FTTP Options & Advice please
After 2 years of broken promises, Openreach has finally installed the fibres for FTTP. I live in a rural area with a very limited mobile phone service and <2Mbps download speed so it's really exciting!

Broadband upload speeds
We have been streaming onto Facebook live since lockdown, around once a month. This Sunday the stream was very poor - Audio OK but Video frame rate was excessively low. Tests show that the upload rate on our broadband has dropped to around 1-2 Mb/s, and it needs to be around 10. My package quotes average 8-10Mb/s, which we…

Hey all, I've recently received an email from talktalk as my current 18 month contract is coming to an end. See below: How common of a practice is this? I think it's absolutely ridiculous.
