The competition for our broadband subscriptions and the shelf under the TV is continuing, as Sky is now offering people who signup to a Sports or Movies bundle the option of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 for £49.

Just a day after Sky announced cheaper deals, BT has responded by increasing the value of its Sainsbury gift cards from £40 to £50 and £60 to £100.

The battle for your broadband and TV service business is heating up, unlike the British summer as Sky have launched a new wave of deals that include 12 months of free broadband if you sign up to a Sky Sports package and even six months free fibre broadband.

A refresh of the EE broadband packages is a mixture of give and take, but the most exciting aspect is a £15 per month unlimited fibre product, that is cheaper than the standard price of BT, TalkTalk or Sky fibre products.

The competition for your broadband and telephone custom continues to heat up with Direct Save Telecom now launching a deal where the broadband is just £1.95 per month for the term of the 24 month contract.

The competition for retail market share is having an effect in that more of the large broadband providers are now advertising totally unlimited packages for consumers.

It appears that a few weeks after the change actually happened customers of LittleBigOne are finding that their contracts have been transferred to a new operator - Chess Telecom.

The last week has seen users of our forums complaining about Plusnet hiding their broadband only packages making it harder to recommend services to friends, but it appears the visibility issue has been down to testing of different versions of the website.

The latest set of figures from the BT Group have now been published, and show that their FTTC/FTTP product range is running at around 10% takeup at the wholesale level.

Zen Internet has highlighted that a side effect of its increased number of Ethernet nodes on the BT exchange network means they will soon be offering new fibre based products to those wanting something better than the average service.
