How is the neighbours live TV ahead of ours?
Before you suggest ask them, we don't talk. Still, it shouldn't be too much to find out since i doubt we're the only set of neighbours in the land that experience this. I tried Google searching but i'm clearly using the wrong terminology as i'm getting results for the Australian soap!! Take tonight for example - we're…

Virgin vs Sky
I've recently had the expected letter from Virgin about the price increase. I've been on a deal for the past 18 or 24 months (can't remember) of £50.45 now going up to £70.45. I've rung to haggle but they're not playing this time! So, time to shop around. Sky seems to have some good deals. I've never been with Sky, what's…

Basic landline - cheapest route?
Just wondering what is the cheapest deal to keep an active landline for incoming calls only? Even if only to somehow redirect to a mobile number. It seems bonkers in this day and age to pay monthly rental for a landline.

Broadband, landline and where's my number gone?
Quick background - had standard broadband and landline for years generally bouncing back and fore between providers and keeping my same landline number along the way.

Virgin Media saving
I signed up for Ultimate Oomph at £89 a month which was about to increase to £147.50 a month. A phone call to the retentions team and I'm now on Ultimate Volt at £99 a month. That's billed as £25 a month to O2 and £74 to Virgin Media. Not that I'll use the landline or the SIM. So a net saving of £48.50 a month or £873 over…

iPhones - Locked to PayG network?
I have an unlocked iPhone that I intend to sell soon. However, I want to lend it to a friend for a few weeks for using it as a backup phone with their PayG SIM card. Does using an iPhone with a PayG SIM card lock the phone on that network?

Broadband and Mobile Companies annual increase
HI, Does anyone agree that as nearly all of the mobile/broadband providers now have the standard clause of CPI+3.9% typically, that a monopoly has been created? Given lockdown their profits must be at a reasonable level? Could MSE start a campaign against this?

Virgin Media, contract up, no copper-based fibre in area. How to negotiate?
Hello folks, I'm not very good at this sort of thing. I took Virgin Media when I moved into this property for ~£25 a month, broadband and landline only, no TV. The honeymoon period is over and the bill has been over £40 for a while now. Just got a letter saying it's going up by another 3 quid a month. If I had a decent…
