Minor Increase
I was dreading the conversation I needed to have with Virgin Media regarding my contract about to end. They had advised cost of Broadband and TV package would double! Ten minutes on a web chat and they offered same package for +£2. No haggling, just a really useful rep who helped. Fair play to VM, they were very reasonable.

New/existing customers
I thought that offering new customers cheaper deals than existing customers was outlawed? I've just texted PAC to 65075 and almost immediately got a call from EE loyalty dept.

Switch to Community Fibre and use Premitel for voip?
Hi, I want to maintain a landline just for incoming calls from elderlies (no outgoing.) This being so it's not worth paying for the Community Fibre calls-included voip package, and I wonder if it's possible to use an independent voip provider with Community Fibre, either by using the CF router, or another router? Thank you.

Situation: For various reasons, I wish to move from Onestream to another supplier. My 2 year contract ends on 27th March 2026. What is the best approach? a) Do a switch now (03/03/26) with an activation after 27/03/26? Onestream say I will incur the fee as I'm still under contract. b) Let the contract expire. On 28/03/26…

EE price increase (Again)
EE have just announced (after only recently putting my BB up £2 a month) that they are increasing my BB by £4 a month at the end of March which will make it over £32!
