Virgin Media contract ends in June. Sign up to Sky now or later?
I'm looking to leave Virgin Media as my introduction offer is ending soon so my price is jumping up a lot. I'm currently being offered Sky Stream + Sky Sports + 500Gb broadband for £64/month. My Virgin Media contract ends on 6th June so I'm wondering whether I should sign up to a Sky deal now or wait a bit?

Can I still cancel my Virgin services
I noticed this month that my direct debit was around 15 pounds more than usual, and when I called VM they said that from April there's been a price increase. I tried to give my 30 days notice to quit my contract but was told that I couldn't as I had missed the deadline and that I still have 10 months remaining on my…

Hi I am having an issue with my Sky+ box no longer recording BBC1 ( can't live pause or rewind either).

Sky TV
I’m a Sky VIP Diamond customer and been with them for 18 years. Today I tried to haggle with them and ended up getting Sky Cinema and Netflix removed which resulted in a £5 per month saving! Not such a good deal I think. Would it be worth contacting them in a few days to renegotiate?

Data sim recommendations
I've a friend using a 4g router, who doesn't want / need a broadband connection as future accommodation plans are uncertain. They are using more data than I expected however. Any recommendations for a data sim? I'd prefer open-ended usage rather than a 30 day limit. Argos do an EE one with 120Gb valid for 12 months for…

Are there any contracts that don’t charge £££ for sending pics?
Im detoxing from social media (and feeling better for it for now) but miss being able to send a few pics. They are very very slow trying to email them from my phone (even as one at a time) and texting on O2 is pretty expensive. I know it’s seen as an out of date way to do things but is there a contract that includes being…

Sky Talk Call Shambles
Following notification that my mother's call package (Sky Talk Evenings & Weekends) was going up by nearly 40% she decided to upgrade her call package to Sky Talk Anytime Extra which made more sense financially as it was going up by less than her current package and represented better value. Mum upgraded on 21/3/24 and…

O2 charging for mobile I was told was included in my Virgin Media package
VM phoned me on 24.2.24 to renew my contract, offering a discounted package of £59/month that included O2 mobile. I didn't and don't want O2 mobile but was told I couldn't get the discounted VM package without it and repeatedly assured the £10/month O2 charge was included in the package so I may as well have it and didn't…
