A question about : Hassled by bb provider i am leaving!

Hi.
Wondering if anyone else has had problems moving from Talktalk to another provider? Recently my stepmother applied to move from TT to Plusnet. It was all arranged and then several days before the change over was due, TT cut off her service. This meant a delay in getting moved over to Plus net, days without a phone line and she lost her old number and was subject to reconnection charge (plusnet kindly paid this).

A question about : SKY

I am with SKY and download speead is around 14 to 17 Mbps which should be OK. This is fine in the mornings and web pages come up quickly, but in the evenings, I experience real problems.
Yesterday evening trying to log on to various websites, it was hopeless. 1. Opening sites, slow, kept getting the whirling circle.

A question about : Fibre-optic broadband, phone and tv provider dilemma: BT vs EE

Hi all,

I'm in a bit of a pickle. We recently decided to go with the MSE BT offer of unlimited fibre optic broadband, phone (with the 12 month line rental upfront) and BT TV. With all the installation fees, and us taking out the evening and weekend calls, this came to approx. Ј24.50 a month (factoring in the Sainsburys voucher and cashback).

A question about : Do who ARE the best for broadband?

AKA how long is a piece of string?

We currently have the most basic broadband deal from Timico cos my husbands work pays for it.

It's not good. I have frustrated children as it doesn't keep up with their games. So we are changing.

I am thinking PlusNet.

We have fibre something or other.

I am not very technical.

So basically, is there such thing as the best broadband around or is it hit & miss.

A question about : Virgin Media Retention thread

New thread started as a follow on from the very successful thread started by swebb some 3 years ago where users have renegotiated a good deal with Virgin by phoning retentions.

I've moved a few relevant posts from the old thread to start it off.
