TalkTalk

BT threw down the gauntlet to the armchair sports market this month by slashing the cost of Sky Sports to just £6.99 in some cases.

Sky will no longer allow landline customers to override its system and use prefix numbers to cut call costs from 1 July.

Sky and Talk Talk will join BT next month in cutting the amount of time you have to make inclusive evening calls on a landline.

Advertised broadband speeds are often misleading, according to a report by the communications watchdog Ofcom out this morning.

Tiscali customers can probably breathe a sigh of relief after the troubled telephone, broadband and TV provider’s UK operations were bought by TalkTalk today.

You can beat this month’s BT and TalkTalk price rises by following some clever techniques.
