A word of caution, I received a phone call last night from a number which was identical to UW 03337770777. As it was early evening, they told me it was the fraud team from UW and they thought there was a couple of suspicious transactions on my card, £583 Argos and £150 Asda vouchers. I confirmed this wasn't me and they said they would cancel my card and issue a new one ASAP. I thought to myself, this was amazing customer service. The guy then asked me to confirm my last 8 digits to confirm i had the card and my expiry date, which I gave him. He then asked for my CVC number, then alarm bells started ringing. I did not give him this and I said I would call him back to verify it was UW fraud team calling me and he hung up. I called UW this morning who confirmed it was a scam as they would not ask for these details. They have blocked my card and issued me a new one. Be very careful guys.

Energy bills to rise for millions as impact of Iran war hits.

Household energy prices will rise by 13% a year in July, as soaring wholesale costs caused by the US-Israel war with Iran hit bills for the first time.

Regulator Ofgem says the war means a household using a typical amount of gas and electricity will pay £221 more a year, with an annual bill of £1,862.

The cap affects millions of homes on variable tariffs in England, Scotland and Wales, and suppliers are warning it could go even higher in the colder winter months without an end to the conflict.

Energy costs have been sent rocketing by Iran blocking the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping route, through which a fifth of the world's oil and gas is carried, in response to the war.

The jump will equate to a rise of £18 a month for the average household using both electricity and gas, with households seeing an increase of 24% on their gas bills and 5% on their electricity bills.

The energy cap covers 33 million households in England, Wales and Scotland. Regulation and bills are different in Northern Ireland.

The cap fixes the maximum amount customers can be charged for each unit of gas and electricity via variable tariffs. About 40% of bill-payers have fixed tariffs and are unaffected because their price will not change until the end of their fixed term.

The cap has been illustrated by Ofgem, by calculating the annual bill for a "typical household" using 11,500 kWh of gas and 2,700 kWh of electricity a year with a single bill for gas and electricity, settled by direct debit.

Your router has a setting that stops your TV from buffering — it's probably off.

I have a fairly decent home internet connection. Not the fastest plan available, but more than enough for what I need, or at least that's what I thought. For a while, I kept running into the same annoying problem: my TV would start buffering right in the middle of something I was watching on Apple TV, even though nothing else seemed to be obviously hogging the connection. I'd check my phone, fine. My laptop, fine. But the TV? Spinning wheel of doom.

It took me longer than I'd like to admit before I figured out what was actually going on. The culprit wasn't my internet speed. It was a setting sitting right inside my router that I had never touched, and it turns out most people haven't either.

My router was treating every device like it deserved equal attention
Which sounds fair, until it really isn't

The setting in question is Quality of Service (QoS). Most modern routers have it, but it's almost always either turned off by default or left completely unconfigured. On the surface, the idea of equal treatment across your network sounds reasonable. Every device gets a fair slice of your bandwidth, right?

The problem is that not all internet traffic is created equal. When you're downloading a file in the background, a few seconds of delay doesn't matter. But when you're streaming a show on your TV, jumping on a video call, or playing a few rounds of Counter Strike 2 with friends, even a small bandwidth squeeze is immediately noticeable. Your router doesn't inherently know the difference; it just moves data. Without QoS, it happily hands bandwidth to whatever asks for it, regardless of how time-sensitive that traffic actually is.

So when my partner's laptop decided to pull a large update in the background while I was watching Shrinking on Apple TV, the TV got squeezed out. The router wasn't broken. It was just doing what it was told, which in this case was nothing particularly smart.

QoS changes that. It lets you tell your router what matters most, so streaming video, video calls, and gaming get priority over background tasks that can wait.

British Gas pays £20m over prepayment meter force-fitting scandal.

British Gas has agreed to pay £20m into a redress fund and compensate customers to settle an investigation by the energy regulator into the forced fitting of prepayment meters.

Ofgem found the company had "failed to meet the standards required" when installing the meters and had breached licence conditions specifically aimed at protecting customers in vulnerable situations.

Three years ago it emerged that debt agents working for British Gas had broken into the homes of vulnerable customers to fit prepayment meters.

British Gas has apologised, and the complete settlement package will cost the company up to £112m in payments, compensation and writing off customers' debt.

In 2023, the Times revealed how agents working for Arvato Financial Solutions, on behalf of British Gas, had forced their way into the home of a single father of three to install a prepayment meter.

After establishing the property was unoccupied, an undercover reporter observed the agents work with a locksmith to force their way in and install a meter.

The scandal was industry-wide: 40,000 customers had a prepayment meter installed without permission between 2022 and 2023.

Suppliers including EDF, E.On and Scottish Power have already agreed to pay compensation.

Ofgem investigated and subsequently banned the practice of fitting prepayment meters without customers' permission in high-risk households.
