02 Broadband - Retentions

macman

The Premium package is the same as standard but with the 8Mbps cap removed. Unless your line will support more than 8Mbps, then there's no point.
They were previously offering a reduction to £5 for a further 12m contract-I'd personally push for that.

Read my posts above!!! Does nobody ever read even the latest posts in these threads?

50 quid cashback is worth more than the 2.50 /month reduction that they are offering.

That depends if you already have an 02 mobile discount. If you are on the non-discounted rate of £12.50, then £2.50 a month off is the better deal.

How can 12 x £2.50 discount ever be better than £50 discount?

macman

It is if you don't have an 02 mobile to get the discount on...
Though of course you should.

Ah - I see it's £50 mobile credit not £50 credited to the BB account. At least that's what one person said but the other just said it was cashback.

macman

Yes, £50 credit either on contract or PAYG mobiles.

I'm on the standard package and have an O2 mobile so have been paying £7.50/month. Just spoke to retentions and was offered the £50 bill credit deal if I sign up for another 12 months.

I'm on the standard £7.50 a month (i'm an O2 customer)....I notice on their website they offer £50 phone credit if you sign up to their £7.50 broadband, obviously I'm not a new customer but is it worth me pushing for this?

That's what I mean. Does nobody read anybody else's posts?

OTOH, if you get your tariff down to £5 a month for the next year, they would find it harder to push it back up to £7.50 after that-it might give you some leverage.

Was also offered the £2.50/month discount but I asked if this was ongoing or just for the next 12 months and was told the discount just lasts a year. Therefore, an easy decision.

OK, I admit there may be a psychological point also.
