Understand @David23 BT are showing black Friday deals for me at ÂŁ35 for 150 FTTP – I’m only paying what was originally ÂŁ29.99 a month but its gone up and I also pay line rental up front but now I don’t need the line rental as I’ve moved to VOIP phone with a independent provider.
PlusNet BF deals are on also offering 26.99 a month for 145 FTTP – which is cheapest I have seen and I’m factoring in a couple of quid for increase next year so would make it ÂŁ29.xx per month so no more than the non-BF deals. They are also giving a ÂŁ50 reward card so that basically works out to ÂŁ2 a month over the 24 months contract so effectively paying for the initial monthly increase is how I’m looking at it. Plus by exiting now, I’ll get back around ÂŁ100 according to there calculations on chat – the ÂŁ48.50 exit fee so effectively call it ÂŁ50 back in my pocket :) Plus I don’t have to deal with BT sending me new routers cos they ant to enable digital voice which I don’t want and I don’t use there router so I think they keep thinking there is a problem and sending me new routers lol I’ve had 2 so far lol each time they want the other one sent back – they not got the message yet as new one goes back totally unopened :)
Tempted to tell PlusNet not to send a router as I wont use it but it may help in the unlikely event my one breaks/has a issue etc so might get it as it is effectively free when I sign up.
I get the feeling BT have realised people dropping the line rental so now they hiking Broadband prices to make up for line rental loses as people now don’t want to pay for the line effectively.
I would of gone with a more local ISP as much cheaper but not a viable one in my area ATM so hopefully in couple of years more options will be available.
Vodafone is available in my area but I’ve seen lots of reports or outages and connection issues etc so I’m staying clear of them, they only been in my area for about maybe a year tops so looks like some teething issues to iron out.
