    If they don't raise by the full 0.25% this time I'll be looking to transfer.

    ditto - Kent reliance and NS&I have already upped leaving YBS trailing significantly now.
    2 + 2 = 4
    except for the general public when it can mean whatever they want it to.

    Another vote for "ditto" here too. KRBS seem very much on the ball with rises but on the differential prior to to-days increase I don't think it was worth losing interest to transfer but if YBS take the p1ss again it certainly will be.

    BTW KRBS website is still showing 5.96% effective from 1.6.07 - have they inreased it the full 0.25 to 6.21%?

    Any news from YBS yet, wasn't the base rate increased on 5th July, nearly a month ago now.

    I think I'll be telling YBS to get stuffer very shortly!

    I think they're delaying until after the 2/8/07 BofE meeting so that, if there's another 0.25% increase, they can raise their rate by that and conveniently forget last month's increase.

    I have the below page bookmarked now - I may be needing it shortly!

    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    'Speculator' in the link thread below says he rang YBS and they said that there are no increases to either their regular saver (7%) or their e-isa (5.8%)

    I think they'll be a good few thousand down in the course of the next month or so then.

    Definitely.......I'm off. I expect a 0.50 increase in the rate after 2 rate rises, not a paltry 0.15.
