Now Tv ...sky sports.
My sky sports has just gone up again to £59.50 p.m with £32 of that paying for a compulsory channel i never watch. I do record programmes on the sky recorder but i think i could live without it.

BT tried to move me over to Digital Voice in March. I explained that my mother has a pacemaker and has been told that the Digital Voice adapter could interfere with this.

Been paying for 4G broadband twice due to EE's error...
I've just noticed that EE have made a mistake and are charging me for two 4G broadband services, perhaps going back several years. We happily had a 4G broadband router for a while (we're not covered by 5G and we're far from a green cabinet), but a few years ago it seemed to be dropping off constantly and so EE sent us a…
