Is it just me or is the Cheap Broadband page still offering yesterday's deals?

I can see 8 that expire between 11th to the 13th of this month, nothing earlier. If you still see them, clear your browser history.

The TalkTalk deal, currently #1 on the page, is NOT fibre but standard broadband. I've emailed them to let them know.

You're shown both ADSL and fibre options when you first search, you have to click on the "Standard" button to remove them. The comparison site is correct.

I'm not talking about searching. I'm talking about the "How to get cheap broadband" page (the subject of this thread).

Anyone tempted by the Sky deal should be aware that the Broadband Unbundled information is still wrong regarding the definition of "New customers". The Broadband Genie T&Cs state:


New Sky Broadband customers only, i.e. You must not have ever registered an account with Sky or Sky Broadband in order to qualify for this Gift Card.

Looking to move from BT Fibre to Plusnet Broadband, but am being told I'm unable to keep the same phone number?

Is this the case, has anyone experienced this.
Thanks

There's an illogicality to that, given the common ownership, and it wasn't the case when I did the same switch a few years back.

There may be some technical reason, but I can't think what it might be. Have you asked them to explain?

Who is telling you this?
BT or Plusnet?
Also just to dot the i's, you are changing supplier in the same property (i.e. not moving house)?

Did the number originate with BT or elsewhere?

Plusnet are saying this when trying to sign up to broadband.

We are not moving house just changing supplier.

They have today said if I signed up for fibre on plusnet, I will be able to keep the number.
