Featuring the villagers who cannot get a decent broadband connection.

Gloria Hunniford, Angela Rippon and Julia Somerville help some residents fighting an annual charge. Plus, the villagers who cannot get a decent broadband connection.

Consumer champions Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford, and Julia Somerville battle on behalf of viewers who feel they've been ripped off or had a raw deal - and try to get their problems resolved. Among today's stories, the residents fighting an annual charge for something they say they've never had, a woman using her own experience to stop others being caught out by rogue traders, and the locals who can't get a decent broadband connection in their villages - but still pay the same money as if they did. Plus more problems solved at the Rip Off Britain pop-up shop - and a way to cut the cost of car insurance is put to the test.
