Some people have complained that the Sainsbury's Gift Cards from BT Retail are not much use to them, so the new wave of offers with a prepaid Visa card may answer some of the critics.

The BT Group is the latest broadband operator to publish its financials and alongside best ever Openreach fibre sign-ups the retail arm commanded 266,000 of these.

It is not just the bargain basement ADSL2+ services that get all the offers, PlusNet has just added £50 cashback to its fibre based broadband service and is availabile until 12th May. The provider has also soft launched its YouView TV service for existing fibre customers.

PlusNet for the duration of the Bank Holiday weekend is offering free unlimited ADSL2+ broadband and £75 cashback, meaning you only have to pay for the voice line rental in the 12 month contract.

EE has added an extra 15% of fixed line customers to its user base, which is very good considering for a few years they were shedding similar numbers each quarter.

TalkTalk has put up its prices but after the fallout in previous years when the voice line rental took the brunt of any price increases, this time around it appears to be the actual broadband charges that are increasing.

Sky has offered a free tablet before, but this is usually for those signing up to TV bundles, now new customers joining with just broadband and phone can get a £100 reward or a free tablet.

West Oxfordshire District Council has backed Cotswold Broadband to deliver 100% superfast coverage in the area, well ahead of the national 95% by 2017 target.

PlusNet may have dropped the cashback offer now on its ADSL2+ services, but it has started a new offer with its entry level fibre service now free for the first six months.

Sky has had a healthy quarter adding around 100,000 broadband customers.
