Moved from Sky to Virgin (TV)? Do you miss anything?
After 15 years with Sky for TV, I think this might be the renewal where I actually move over to Virgin. Economies of scale with O2 SIMs and BB etc, but Sky have got to the point where haggling is just exhausting and unproductive.

Sky TV
Two questions: 1. Im out of a minimum term contract and have been for months. If I threaten to cancel will they terminate my TV connection straight away or will it be 30 days? 2. Under the new rules, which Sky dont abide by, do they still email customers to say how much your increase is? Many thanks for any help or advice…

Cancelled TV License

I have always paid for a 12 month period but due to cost of living I started to pay monthly from 31/12/24. My payment of £17+ was already deducted for this month so I cancelled the DD. When I spoke with TVL she said that she…

TalkTalk Broadband renewal due? ALWAYS CHAT TO THEM FIRST!
My TT contract (Fibre 65+mobile) is due to expire soon and I got several emails asking me to renew. If I had simply accepted the new price (£33/mnth) then I would also have had to renew my mobile contract (which was previously free as it was included in previous package) which would have cost me approx £5/mnth. So I used…
