Utility Warehouse take over my TalkTalk broadband contract and raise the price
I was on a TalkTalk Broadband 24-month fixed-price contract (well, the price goes up by £3 every April, but otherwise fixed.) TalkTalk recently transferred this to Utility Warehouse, who are charging me £5 more per month. Can they do this? I signed up for a certain price. I can see nothing in the TalkTalk smallprint about…

Upgrading from FTTP, few questions
Finally about to put the request in with my ISP to upgrade from FTTC to FTTP. From what i can gather it does work quite differently to ADSL/FTTC so just a couple of queries 1 - I understand with FTTP it either works or doesnt, and the speed coming into your house will be the full speed, that is the limited by whatever…

Virgin Media more than doubling charge, and no other providers available
My deal with Virgin Media broadband ends in 4 weeks, at which point they are planning to more than double my monthly charge (from £30 to £73).

I currently pay £38pm but it is due to explode to >£180pm for the package I have (virgin TV with all Sky Sports and BT Sports), netflix, disney plus. Clearly I don't want to pay the £180pm. When is the best time to…

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! Of course they did this after locking me in to a 24 month contract on the understanding of reasonable prices. I knew they were trying to sweeten me up when I…

Broadband Telephone
I have a BT Decor 2600 phone because it has an answering function and it has an outgoing calling control by needing a PIN to dial out. I now need additional phone and I like the look of BT Duet 210 from Argos or Currys but can anyone tell me if it has the out going call control like the 2600? Other BT phones these stores…

SIM only broadband?
Apologies to all of you techies, as I am not very knowledgeable in this area. The issue: I am moving into a home that has pathetic broadband connections (sub 37 Mbps) on copper (no current plans by fibre people to upgrade). plus they want to charge ridiculous prices - because they can. So…Why can't you get as good speeds…

One Touch Switch (POP Telecom)
Hi, Am I correct in thinking that under the one touch switch scheme I do not have to give the full 30 days leaving notice and I will not be charged any part of this fee for leaving before the 30 days is up? The CoT did come back and say £0 termination fees. My present ISP (pop telecom I know bad decision) is trying to…

Onestream increasing tech support charge
I’ve been with Onestream less than a month but would like to return to Plusnet as I can now get full fibre and the Plusnet package offers far more for less cost, and will probably be a better service. Onestream have sent notice that they’re increasing their tech support charge; is that grounds to avoid early termination…

Moving from BT to Zen Internet
Hey all, My BT contract ends soon. They've been fine, but expensive. Prices have gone up a lot and certain deals withdrawn, replaced by significantly more expensive ones offering "more"... but not really more in real terms. There have been other issues, but no need to get into that here. Anyway, I've been eyeing Zen…

Vodafone upgrade cancellation
I am with Vodafone and was sent an email to upgrade. I looked into it and it seemed like a great deal. I could upgrade my broadband from 150mb to 500mb for a monthly fee less than what I was already paying. Upon activating this deal I thought I would then check the information they'd sent me and realised that although the…
