Q1. My customers can only get ADSL. What do I offer them with the switch off fast approaching? Judith, Newcastle

Q4. Some industry experts are predicting several products have now peaked. Is it all just churn? Scott, Leeds

Q5. My company resells Broadband and we raise invoices via an accounts package. Is there a more efficient way to bill? Gareth, Liverpool
A5. Well Gaz, a more efficient way would be to utilise billing software to allow you to import raw data, reconcile your supplier invoices and raise consistently great bills.
