A tricky conflict over eligibility for gigabit broadband vouchers and state aid subsidised contracts via the UK Government’s £5bn Project Gigabit scheme, which is overseen by the Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) agency, appears to be disrupting the roll-out of full fibre (FTTP) networks in some rural parts of the country.

In an expected development, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority has today launched a formal Phase 1 investigation into the proposed mega-merger (here) between mobile operators Three UK and Vodafone, which will slash the number of mobile operators in the market from four to three and may impact upon competition, consumer prices, jobs and security.

Customers of internet provider TalkTalk, specifically those that take their Pay TV service, may like to know that – for a limited time – they can add the premium NOW TV Entertainment plan for half price (£4.99 per month) and this will also come with the paid NOW TV Boost upgrade (full HD streaming etc.) for free (saving £6 per month).

Over 3,000 of Fibrus’ full fibre broadband ISP customers, mostly across rural parts of Northern Ireland, have been left disconnected from the internet after two named storms – Isha and Jocelyn – hit across the UK in quick succession.

Mobile operator O2 (Virgin Media) has today highlighted the deployment of a new mobile mast to boost 4G (mobile broadband) coverage on the remote rural Shetland island, which sits far away off the north coast of Scotland.

Broadband ISP Virgin Media (VMO2) recently started to roll-out their first new device firmware update(s) of 2024 for both their Virgin TV 360 (v5.06) and STREAM (v5.07) platforms, which make a variety of smaller changes to the User Interface (UI). But none of the changes are particularly big this time around.

In an unsurprising development, the Scottish Government recently issued a new contract notice to help it commission an evaluation study of their £600m Reaching 100% (R100) “superfast broadband” (30Mbps+) rollout programme with Openreach (BT), which will aim to assess the project’s Value for Money.

Mobile operator O2 (Virgin Media) last week became the first operator to launch a 48-month contract option for customers who take one of the latest Samsung Galaxy S24 smartphones alongside a mobile plan, which on the surface might appear to break Ofcom’s contract limit of 24-months. But as you’d expect, it’s not that simple.
