    Hi guys,

    I too was displeased to receive my latest bill from BT stating my monthly direct debit would increase from £24 to £39. I have line rental weekend/evening calls included and option 1 broadband. Call costs for the quarter was a few pence over £14.

    Did a quick search on here before calling them and found this thread; just called and got option 1 reduced to £5 per month from £15.50 on a 12 month contract.:T

    Thanks very much for your help; it is much appreciated!

    Kind regards,

    Tracey

    Another happy customer here: Paid line rental upfront and now paying a smaller monthly charge (£13, not the best quoted here) for an upgrade to Option 3 and Anytime calls.

    Since we have only just had our quarterly bill which will still be debited we should be in credit to BT for a few months. Now changed to monthly billing to avoid such large bills.

    I called them yesterday having been with them for over four years and got my option 1 reduced to £5.00 a month from £15.99.

    BT Option 1 is the same as Plusnet value. Has anyone tried Plusnets "beat any price" promise?
  • Thanks to the original poster of this, managed to get our costs down to £23 (Unlimited anytime calls and option 3 BB) a month including line rental and £30 install of a new line when we move!

    Thanks very much!

    was on option 3 at £24.99 per month, just signed up for same package (12 months) at £9.99 per month!!

    Anybody know if the reduced prices on this thread on option 3 costing around £9.99/mth are with the ADSL max (up to 8Mb) or ADSL2+ (up to 20Mb)?

    Depends if your exchange has been enabled for BT adsl2+

    check here

    If your exchange is enabled then the package will be adsl2+. If not then it will be adsl max.

    Syko, yes understand this. Was just wondering if the OPs were being offered the adsl2+ i.e speeds greater than 8Mb (and up to 20Mb) at these prices or the lower spec adslmax (up to 8Mb) given the low charges mentioned on this thread.

  • Woo Hoo, just got option 3 for £10 per month. Paid upfront years line rental £120 i.e. £10 per month equivalent.

    Had to mention that I was thinking of moving over to Orange (have a pay as you go mobile), and they were very keen to offer me the revised price.

    Gives me exactly what I want which is unlimited broadband with evening and weekend calls thrown in.

    So glad I've found this thread. Had BT Option 1 for £15.99, the contract has expired, and I received a number of calls from BT to extend the contract for £12.99 a month. Thanks to this thread, I just called them and renewed for £5.00 a month! :) Really happy, thanks to everyone here. Would have gone to Plusnet otherwise...

    You'll get the best speed available on your exchange. So, if it's ADSL2 enabled, you'll get ADSL2+ speeds.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
