Full Fibre Broadband, Standing Charges and Stolen Houses

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Full Fibre Broadband, Standing Charges and Stolen Houses

We find out why getting the fastest broadband can be an excruciatingly slow process.

We hear from those who've struggled to get full fibre broadband despite being told they can get it by BT.  Plus a big update on our investigation into  stolen houses.

Telecoms regulator, Ofcom says just over half of us can now enjoy full fibre broadband. But some BT customers who've been told they can get it have been left in tears without a basic phone service. We find out why and what you can do before you sign a contract.   

No matter how many things you switch off or how much you turn down the thermostat,  there's a part of your energy bill that never comes down  –  the standing charges.  Martin Lewis says they've ballooned by 60% since 2021. Now, Ofgem is starting a consultation on their future and whether they should be binned for good. We get up to speed with you everything you need to know.

Finally, our investigation in to stolen houses takes a very unexpected turn. It’s one of our stories that's gripped millions of readers online. Shari Vahl returns to the studio with an exclusive and jaw dropping update you won't want to miss.
