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. I'm out of contract on the 15th, but seemingly they've got better prices, but for new customers. BT have got a £175 reward card, but because i'm…

Switch to Community Fibre and use Premitel for voip?
Hi, I want to maintain a landline just for incoming calls from elderlies (no outgoing.)

Thank you.

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!

MSE and Virgin Media
I just signed up to Virgin Media using an offer from MSE - this gave me a great rate and I'm really pleased.
