Saving money with insulation; Reconnecting broadband lines

The broadband customers still cut off after the storms, green energy savings are revised down, and is motor insurance more pricey for women? Consumer news with Winifred Robinson.

Official figures for how much you can save on energy bills by insulating your home have been revised down by the Energy Saving Trust. What does that mean for customers considering paying for new boilers, cavity wall insulation or double glazing?

Broadband customers tell You & Yours about their frustration trying to get reconnected after the winter storms.

Shop mannequins might soon look more life like - but will it make us buy more?

And we find out if the cost of motor insurance has changed since European law forced insurance companies to stop giving women cheaper prices.

Presented by Winifred Robinson
Produced by Natalie Donovan.
