Freeview issues
Hi all, I wonder if someone could offer me an answer on this before I commit to sourcing one. I moved into a flat and it has a twin cable serving a satellite dish so I bought a Freesat box, but although it finds 184 channels, no signal as there is a transponder problem. I then looked at the dish and it appears to be a Sky…

Sky Q
If you have an eighteen month contract with Sky and after 12months they hike up the price, can you cancel the contract. I ask as in their T&Cs they state that they can increase the fee by up to 10% while you are in contract and it seems you cannot cancel. Surely this is an Unfair Term and also contrary to current…

Broadband provider blackmail
A few times a year our WiFi grinds to a halt. We think it’s caused by the wet/windy weather getting into a comms box on a telegraph pole on our property. In the past a previous broadband provider sent an engineer out who said it was our fault because the lower branches of a tree on our property could have reached this…

We didn't pay for the old email accounts to be retained and used either, so no services were remaining. Using my old log-in details I found BT had continued to take the direct debit each month.…
