TalkTalk continues its path of recovery from the dark days of the hack a couple of years ago and is leading the industry in fixed price plans.

The annual sale frenzy known as Black Friday is upon us with Vodafone launching an aggressive offer on its VDSL2/FTTC services.

BT Consumer has a weekly cycle of varying price offers that juggle monthly cost, reward and setup fees but a recent change has been from a 12 to 18 month contract.

Announcements of bigger plans for full fibre are always good news, the questions about where and when will be what many will want to know and that means waiting a bit longer.

The existing Openreach network is set to be overrun by a new full fibre roll-out from WightFibre who have secured £35m of investment.

Another broadband provider is aiming to use fixed wireless to go where they believe BT fears to tread in Wales with packages starting £19.99 for 10 Mbps service rising to £49.99 for the full 50 Mbps.

The latest results from the BT Group are stating that Openreach has passed some 770,000 premises with either its FTTP or G.fast services reflecting the start of a drive for Openreach to transition from a superfast broadband supplier to an ultrafast one.

Virgin Media has its last quarters results out, and the increasing footprint from the Lightning Project rather than technical innovation is the key takeaway for the UK from the combined UK and Ireland results.

After a previous attempt to bring ultrafast broadband to a chunk of West Oxfordshire failed a deal is back on the table that should see around 4,600 premises benefit by the end 2019.

Plusnet is to switch existing customers from the 40/2 wholesale VDSL2 service to the 40/10 product starting in November giving almost all of them a significant improvement in upload speeds.
