Best time of year for broadband
Hello I'm currently out of a broadband contract so I'm paying through the nose. I was about to take out a new one, but I'm wondering if there might be better deals nearer christmas. Does anyone know what time/s of the year the best broadband deals come out? I've tried searching the internet, but it just brings up…

Sky Q Negotiation Issues
As a supposed Sky Diamond VIP customer I feel totally let down by their customer service. Having verbally agreed a new contract rate for Sky Q it was installed 2 days ago. However, going into ‘View my future bills’ I noticed that the price being charged was not the price agreed (increase of £22 month). On calling Sky…
Changing landline supplier
Thought I'd warn people that I tried changing my landline from BT to Sky late last year and I ended up without a landline for nearly a month, with Sky blaming BT for the problem and vice-versa. In the end, I was so frustrated, I let BT keep the line.

Do I need a TV licence?
Just recently bought a copy of computeractive magazine, and they we're promoting the fact we can watch free TV without the need for a TV licence. Apparently if we have a computer monitor or basically anything than can view video other than a standard television we dont need a standard television licence. They went onto…

Sky TV without a dish
Hi, Sky were advertising over a year ago that they were planning on making it possible for customers to have Sky TV via their broadband, and there would be no need for a dish, but development for this seems to have gone quiet. Does anyone know is this still happening or has Sky abandoned this idea?
EE package switch to BT
Anybody had an dealings with EE about packages being taken over by BT and the effects. one of my friends has sent me the following : Having had no dealings with EE, I’m at a loss to make suggestions. ‘ OK I will try to explain this as simply as possible and without bad language, but no promises.When me Julie and I returned…
TV Licencing Bullies
I have no legal obligation to tell these bullies that I don't need a TV licence, do I? To do this, I have to provide my name. They have no legal right to this information do they? I don't get why they do this. Other companies don't threaten to sue you when you don't buy their service.
Cancelled Sky Q - Do they have to have the box back?
I have decided to cancel Sky Q and use Freesat instead as couldn't justify spending £76 a month for TV, but they have asked for the box back. Is this correct? I thought that when you take out Sky Q you pay a fee for the box at the start? They have sent me packaging to send it back, but just wondering if anyone ever does…
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…

Getting on to Telephone Preference Service
Is there a phone number I can phone to put an elderly relative on this. I suspect the 03 number is automated which may cause confusion. Any tips?
Mis-Sold Sky Protect - can I get a refund
I took out Sky TV with Sky Q boxes back in April 2018 and soon after was approached by Sky Protect giving me the hard sell on their policy which I took out in May 2018. As part of the original Protect policy I could add 2 additional pieces of equipment which were a TV and an iPad (which incidentally were already covered…
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…
