40GB BE Value Package to be withdrawn

Yes - having the same issue I suppose only have done very brief searches.

Have you looked at Sky? I haven't looked in detail but can you genuinely get it for £10/month if not a subscriber.

This seems to suggest £15:

or is there some 'special' deal available?

Sorry - you're quite right. It's £15 if you don't take out Sky Talk.

The post office is about £13.50 extra if you're with them for the phone for the unlimited service.

I use them and so far they seem quite good - excellent customer service as well

Hmm...just never had a great experience with the post office in terms of our phone line, although it does suit our needs. Might give them a ring and see what they can offer.

I am with BE. I asked for my MAC code because of the price increase and was offered 6 months half price. I do have to have a new 12 month contract though. But given that the first year with cash back only cost me £50. The total amount over two years will work out at £7.36 apx a month.

Thanks that sounds worth a try, did you contact them by phone or email?

Also, when does your 6 months half price begin, now or 31 Mar? If the former I guess it would make sense to wait a while before contacting them.

Thanks

I contacted them by email. Basically said that whilst I really liked being with them I could not cope with such an increase and asked for my MAC code. They offered the half price and asked when I wanted it to start. I replied 31/3. I get the feeling that they are expecting people to leave so are offering this incentive to stay.

Hope this is of use.

How did you manage to get cash back?

QuidCo & TopCashback had a cashback deal a year or so ago.
