I was due to have Virgin broadband & TV installed today, changing from Sky as their service is limited to 67Mbs The guy was extremely helpful but unable to connect the cable as it would be within 900mm of an electrical cable going to a neighbours house, apparently a new rule due to a recent serious incident, and the cable…

Hi, my Sky contract is due to run out in February and my bill will rise from £103 a month to £141 a month. I currently have broadband, Sky Signature, Sky Sports HD and Sky HD. I only have Sky due to Sky Sports and the ability to record and watch stuff back. I would like to stay with Sky but as the price of everything is…

An aged relative of mine has a landline with TalkTalk. This line was taken on by TalkTalk sometime ago when TalkTalk took over another provider. It is purely calls and there has been no problems for many years. Now TalkTalk keep sending routers as the line is now digital. But the relative doesn't want or need broadband. TT…

A 'Telecoms Consumer Charter' that aims to better protect consumers from misleading price rises has been revealed. It comes after Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, prompted the Government to investigate the sector's problems by writing to the Chancellor over O2's recent price hike on a price hike. Read the…

How much extra should I expect Virgin media to charge me if I asked for a digital landline to be added to my existing broadband? Thanks

Received this message today… "Your TV box is being retired. We're upgrading customers from older TV equipment to Virgin TV 360. This means your current box will be retired or have its software upgraded as part of a planned programme taking place over the coming months. Don't wait for your viewing to be disrupted in the…

Be aware, long read. If you are coming to the end of your contract with POP Telecom and looking to cancel or move services elsewhere you need to be aware of a practise they seem to have brought in from around August 2025 which is still occuring. For backstory I cancelled my renewal with them giving 30 days notice as…

Hoping for some advice about how to sort out Digital Voice for my elderly mother. She's with Utility Warehouse for broadband and landline. They haven't been in touch with her about Digital Voice and she's now worried about what happens in January. I dont think she was even aware it was happening until one of her friends…

Luckily I checked my bank first and saw that the payment had in fact gone.But my spam folder didn't pick this up. ⚠ Notice: If this email landed in your Spam or Junk folder, please mark it as "Not Spam" and add us to your contacts to ensure…

Honestly, I've run out of bad words to call Sky. But for all I want to complain about the impossibility of simply talking to them.... I want to take a specific complaint as high as I can. My TV and Full Fibre 150 has been £65.49, with many reductions ending in November. So, on 6th October, I spoke to someone over the phone…

Hi, Are there any free snoring Apps which wake you when snoring. I do both snoring and Catathrenia (groaning) and so need to be woken up so i stop it. "Sleep as Android" seems free but it doesnt have an audio recorder which starts recording when you snore, so as to proove that you started snoring before it actually wakes…

Signed up for Sky Fibre 150 back in August (19th) via MSE. Just got first bill and call charges are way higher than I expected. Just checked the current MSE deals for the same, and call charges are shown as much lower than I've been charged. Unfortunately I don't have a screen grab of the offer from August - but I'm…

January 2027 - analogue phone lines are being disconnected So - if you have not gone digital yet (full fibre) - it's almost too late https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/phone-internet-downloads-or-tv/check-your-personal-alarm-will-work-after-the-landline-switch-off/

I am out of my 24 month contract and now my bill has increased by £10 for, not being in contract?! Anyway, the total is now £74.99 which is including sport which I intend to cancel. The broadband is full fibre 150, for £44.99, which I think is really extortionate. EE's website is appalling, I haven't been able to access my…

Thought this might be worth alerting forum users but we've had people at the door today claiming to be from BT/EE with branded jackets showing EE logos along with Money Expert branding too. Previously had a run in with Money Expert trying to get elderly parents to switch gas and electricity so was rather wary from the…

My husband and I stopped watching TV a long time ago as we found it very biased and there was nothing either of us wanted to watch. We decided to cancel our TV license after we realised it was about 6 months since we put the TV on. We both have laptops and neither of us watch any live TV. I watch series and films sometimes…

Can anyone help, Feel like ramming my head against a brick wall trying to contact Sky regarding contract for TV. Have attempted 3 calls . Twice the line has gone dead and once the agent insisted an option given to my in writting was not available. Trying to explain I had the letter from Sky in front of me with the number I…
