Cable.co.uk’s consumer telecoms expert Dan Howdle thinks so… Tue, 22 Aug 2017 10:47:46 GMT https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/14/do-broadband-deals-include-line-rental/ https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/14/do-broadband-deals-include-line-rental/ It wasn’t all that long ago that broadband and line rental were separated out from one another making it very hard to determine how much you’d ultimately be paying. And though separate line rental is a thing of the past there still remains a shadow of uncertainty over whether the price you see will be the price you pay. Allow me to illuminate… Mon, 14 Aug 2017 10:37:45 GMT https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/09/cable-co-uk-worldwide-broadband-speed-league/ https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/09/cable-co-uk-worldwide-broadband-speed-league/ Yesterday, we released our worldwide broadband speed league table. Consisting of the average broadband speeds measured across 189 countries it was the culmination of months of work on the part of myself and Mark Ashton (our head of development), and our project partners, M-Lab – an amalgam of New America's Open Technology Institute, Google Open Source Research, Princeton University's PlanetLab, and other supporting partners.

Here is the transcript from that interview… Mon, 07 Aug 2017 11:43:13 GMT https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/03/what-to-do-about-the-virgin-media-4-7-price-hike/ https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/03/what-to-do-about-the-virgin-media-4-7-price-hike/ Just about every provider out there raises their prices at least once a year. Despite three price rises last year, Virgin Media has not yet hiked its prices in 2017. But all that’s about to change. Come November, customers will bear an average 4.7% increase on the price of their services. So what can you do about it? Thu, 03 Aug 2017 12:07:26 GMT https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/02/fastest-broadband-you-can-get/ https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/08/02/fastest-broadband-you-can-get/ This isn't one of those blogs – you know the sort where you say 'I want a squillion, gajillion megabits' and we prove mathematically that you don't need that much. No, this blog focuses on one thing only: You want the fastest, so here's how to get it… no questions asked.

Cable.co.uk’s resident consumer telecoms expert Dan Howdle delves into the detail and asks: Is Virgin Media pulling a fast one on home movers? Wed, 26 Jul 2017 10:57:13 GMT https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/07/25/when-should-i-consider-switching-my-broadband-provider/ https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/07/25/when-should-i-consider-switching-my-broadband-provider/ You’ll hear this everywhere: Switching broadband provider when your contract’s up will save you money. But while that’s true in most cases, there may also be reasons switching might not be the best option for you, depending on who you are with, the services you have, how much you enjoy those services and whether the same money could be saved simply by haggling. Tue, 25 Jul 2017 11:29:31 GMT https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/07/24/do-i-need-a-landline-to-get-a-broadband-deal/ https://www.cable.co.uk/blogs/2017/07/24/do-i-need-a-landline-to-get-a-broadband-deal/ Whenever someone asks what I do and I explain that I work in consumer broadband, TV and mobile, this is the most common question that follows. As time marches on, fewer and fewer households find the need for a home phone, while of course, everyone needs broadband.

It plans to raise the cash by issuing high-yield corporate bonds with a redemption date set for 2022. So what does that mean exactly?

The conclusions weren’t entirely unlike those Ofcom has come out with today in its Landline Prices Review.
