I wouldn't personally want to have one bill for gas, electric, home phone and broadband.
Has Quentin come up with any evidence to show that the UW pre payment card has caused anybody, anybody at all, ever, a problem with non payment?The mind of the bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract.

Nope. There are some elements of the BT package which are not available via UW, therefore any comparison would not be on a like-for-like basis.
Of course, you already know this. You were waiting for a response that you could pick holes in, but you're not going to get one from me.
Well done for attempting to change the subject away from the previous figures which proved UW's value. Your posts are all a sham.
It is your fellow multi-named enthusiast that keeps wanting to change the subject from UW's very high gas and electricity prices to BT phone prices.
So just give me the basic prices of the UW telephone and mobile package. and leave out the features that BT have that are not available with UW
Obviously I contend that the BT package I have is far better than UW's package.
Equally obviously you are aware that the BT package is far better so are not prepared to make the comparison. Obviously I would 'pick holes' in any specious argument you make - but if you are straighforward there wouldn't be anything on which to pick you up.
A few posts ago you were stating that you would always get the better product(your silly analogy about wills if you remember); well even you could surely not deny that BT have the better product.
So you are a UW salesperson, always aggressively pushing UW products and attacking, in personal terms, Quentin and myself for stating verifyable true facts about UW.
You have refused to give any details about UW's telephone and internet services on the grounds that they will compare badly with BT?
A UW ID that won't discuss gas and electricity prices, won't discuss internet prices, won't discuss phone prices!
Yet you have the gall to call me a fraud and my posts a sham?
Perhaps other UW salesmen, or the multi-named poster, might not be so disingenuous and post details - or Quentin as he seems to know far more about UW prices than most on this forum.
P.S.
Did I read that the UW pay-as-you-go phone must be topped up with at least £10 monthly - genuine question by the way.

There a mistake on the website.
For example on the Mobile Phone page if you scroll down to Valuepay - The UK's cheapest Pay as you Go phone in the detail it says you can get "£200 to help you switch".....but you can't.:footie:Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

Just like to note that mistake has now been fixed.
Their proofreader hasn't removed the (misleading) claims that they supply "the cheapest standard gas and electricity", though has now added a "*" to the misleading claim.
The "*" refers you to their worthless "double the difference price promise".
To take advantage of this so called promise, you must transfer to them from a cheaper company in the first place as they only compare your UW cost against your previous supplier (so how does this mean they are the cheapest in the UK), AND take at least 4 services (as well as pay their monthly membership fee) etc etc.
Making the "cheapest" claim just cynical headline grabbing misleading advertising copy for their reps to hang their hats on!0 -
Fact.
UW have just about the most expensive gas and electricity in UK.
Fact
BT can provide a far better and cheaper telephone and internet package than UW. UW's headline figure is a nonsense because of all the added extras found in the 'small print'0 -

So, even when you try to actually give some facts, your facts are somewhat less than factual and full of opinion instead. Why don't you give up, as you are obviously clutching at straws now.
Or, better still, keep posting. Your nonsense makes the UW proposition look better every time I make one of your "myths" look silly.I am an Independent Financial AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as an Independent Financial Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Proven wrong on the previous page.Afraid not. I benefit from UW's telephoen and internet package, and it is significantly cheaper than the deal I had with my previous supplier, BT.

I'm actually thinking of swtiching to O2 for £25 for the year. Lose a few more features but the price is very good.:footie:Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)

I like my wireless broadband router, caller number display, anonymous call rejection, outbound call barring, Voicemail, call forwarding, 40GB internet allowance, Netprotect plus, bt openzone, free second landline number and phone, free evening and weekend calls....all for £23.30. What can UW do that for? I don't mind losing 1 or 2 features if neccessary.
Not forgetting, free technical support, digital Vault, 200 texts a month, Free wi fi at millions of hot spots all over UK.
When away from home, using a hot spot with an IPod Touch and Skype I can make phone calls all over the world for free or to a landline for 1.4p.
As suggested on another forum I rang a branch in BT and negotiated a big discount(again)0 -

Well then tell us how much you pay and for what facilities.
Or is a UW salesperson scared to put it in writing because they know BT has a better deal?
