If you're thinking of getting BT broadband to watch BT Sport on your TV at no extra cost, you should do it today before prices rise this weekend.

Mobile phone users are to be protected from "shock bills" if their handsets are stolen, with a new cap on the maximum cost of calls they will be expected to pay for.

Most of Virgin Media's five million home phone, broadband and TV customers will be hit by average price hikes of 6.7% from February.

You'll soon be able to cancel mobile, landline, and broadband contracts without penalty if your provider hikes prices mid-contract and didn't forewarn you before getting the deal, after regulator Ofcom clarified its rules.

Just over four million Sky customers will pay 25% more for line rental from December compared to this time last year, as the provider is hiking costs. Some call costs are also due to rise too.

A new gadget has launched that gives instant access on your TV to the BBC iPlayer and Demand 5 catch-up services, as well as the live Sky News channel, for a one-off £10 - the cheapest way we've seen to do this.

If you want to watch football matches for free live on the internet, be warned there are big question marks about the legality of doing this after internet providers were told to block access to a site offering live Premier League games.

Some Sky TV customers could be hit with price hikes of up to £2.50 a month from 1 September, the telecoms provider has said.

Sky is hitting back against rival BT's move to offer free TV sport with its broadband by announcing it'll offer free broadband to Sky Sports customers.

Sky TV customers should brace themselves for price hikes, after its website announced prices "may rise by up to 10%" on 1 September.
