Plusnet Number Porting Woes
I signed up to switch to Plusnet’s broadband and phone service on 08 May 2022. There was never any info given about either keeping or losing my old phone number during the signup process. Later that evening, I received an email from Plusnet, informing me when my service would go active and what my telephone number would…
Can I mix Virgin for broadband, and Now for landline phone?
I have an inexpensive broadband and anytime calls landline with NowTV broadband, 6 months into a 1 year contract.

Could I run Virgin…
Watching NBA (and/or other American sports) in the UK?

Virgin Media New Contract Accepted without my say-so
Curious how a contract can be changed despite a month remaining on the existing one. Also its Status says Agreed where no such agreement was forthcoming. Very cheeky of them

We've been tied in to our Sky Contract which is up for renewal in October, we are wondering if there is a way we can cancel our contract beforehand. Im not good with legal talk, but we live in a small block of flats, all running off one dish which has a…

VoIP question
I’m sure this is a stupid question but we are changing to Sky Ultrafast broadband as it was cheaper than the broadband we have with them now. They previously gave us free any time calls on the landline but now want to charge £12 for this so we are ditching that as we have unlimited calls via mobile. I have read that the…

SKY VIRGIN AND BT
I am visiting my parents for 3 months, and just making sure their finances are in order. I was shocked that they are being ripped off by BT and Sky. They have 2 landlines, from back in the day when there was dial up, one isn't needed but the sky broadband is running off that. The second is the landline that they use to…
Cricket on TV
I used to love watching cricket on TV when it was regularly screened on BBC. I'd like to know if there's a very cheap package anywhere that would allow me to watch it again. I'm not interested in football, rugby and formula 1 etc. I'd just like to watch the odd game of cricket. My pension doesn't stretch to Sky and BT.
