    It would have only been for 3-6 months deal, Then you would pay full price.

    As the man said 3 or 6 month cut price then full price is what you would have signed up for .

    ive been getting the 6.99 for over a yr now
  • I got a phone call from AOL - as a valued customer they would give me three months discounted broadband. How nice after 14 years loyalty. WRONG ....today I had confirmation of the order I placed ?? - which increased my bill by £4.99 ! I have 7 days cooling off period OR going live whichever is soonest. Guess what..several seconds after this notification arrived I got another telling me I had gone live !! Trading Standards here I come .........:mad:

    I was paying £6.99 for along time but it was debited from my credit card. They say this is now charged extra by £1.99 and the BB charge is now £7.31 (weird figure). I am about to change and now have my MAC code but have been dithering in fear of losing my AOL email address but have been assured that I can keep it as AOL do a free email a/c.
