Hi

I tried to switch to EE with the MSE deal which seemed great, but when I went through the checkout it wanted to add £60 installation fee for a new line. If I didn't already have a phone line, this would be fine, but I don't see why a new one needs installing when I already have a BT line through my existing Sky Talk/Broadband. Spoke to EE and they said there is no way around this, I have to pay the fee.

Hmmph!

I too have Sky Talk/Broadband and they never tried to charge me for a new line. For my full sign-up experience have a look at this, post #13:

They may be cheap but Talk Talk are the pits i was stuck with them for a year I constantly had problem connecting & often lost the connection when I did get on & the speed was a Joke Im currently with B T sure they are expensive but what a difference even on the 1st day it was an improvement after a few days the difference was unbelievable sure I like to save money but there are times its just not worth it. I would never go back to Talk Talk & im not alone several friends have had or are having the same problems:mad:

I tried to get the EE deal for land line and broadband tonight (22/04/14) and was told the deal ended on 16th April. A few minutes later they sent me an email confirming the deal was still on. Am now confused, anyone out there any ideas please?

I was a customer transferred over from O2 and was paying line rental of £15.40.i called yesterday and asked for my mac ode as advised by fellow forum users. I told the advisor EE are cheaper and that some people are being offered phone and broadband for £7.50 with yourselves. The advisor spoke to his manager to see what could be done and came back with an offer for free line rental meaning I am now paying £7.50 for both phone and broadband with free evenings and weekend calls on a 12month contract.happy days :-)

My elderly mum is on virgin and has been told she will have to change her no if she moves to another provider, is this true?

I've moved from BT to Virgin to TalkTalk and have kept the same number.

It's probably scare tactics to try and keep her with them.

If she has a cable line she may have to. Probably best to ask the company she plans to move to, rather than ask Virgin!

I guess you're talking about Sky here? Do you also have TV with them? I rang over the weekend and only got offered around £18 for BB and Telephone!

Hi,
Back in January, when the EE broadband offer of £100 Amazon voucher came out on MSE, I took the offer thinking that since it was through MSE, I will not end up being a loser. Unfortunately, even after 4 months of taking the offer, I have not received the amazon vouchers. Please somebody help. Has anybody received the £100 voucher from the Jan offer. If yes, which company sends the voucher?
