More than three quarters of those who've tried to haggle with 10 big-name providers have managed to agree a better deal, with the AA and Sky the companies most open to negotiation, according to a poll of almost 4,000 MoneySavingExpert users.

Millions of Sky customers hit with inflation-busting line-rental price rises last month have been given a fresh opportunity to haggle a better deal after action by regulator Ofcom.

Around 4.4 million Virgin Media home phone, broadband and TV customers will be hit with inflation-busting price hikes of 5.4% on average from 1 February 2016, the provider has announced.

Millions of Sky home phone and broadband customers will be hit with inflation busting price hikes from 1 December, the provider has revealed.

Four million TalkTalk customers will be hit with inflation busting price hikes of up to 50% from 1 October, the provider has revealed today.

Sky is being investigated by the communications regulator following complaints that customers are unable to cancel at the end of their contract.

Mobile phone users may find it easier to change provider in future, as communications regulator Ofcom has today launched a consultation on how to improve switching.
