    Luckily I'm still on my 2 year reduced rate fixed term but it sounds like another good reason to 'leave' when it ends.

    And go where? I can't really see anyone wanting to go from Fibre to adsl, and of course, as soon as one provider puts their price up they all go up so in a few weeks/months you would be paying more to who ever you have changed to for a slower service to save a few quid.

    Every thing goes up in price, get a grip and calm down people.

    And go where?

    Nowhere.

    I'm sure the mere threat of leaving will get me a new reduced offer :D

    Well I'll certainly be trying that tack. I'm in a FTTC area and the price increase will mean it's nip and tuck as to which works out cheaper and cashback will make the first year definitely cheaper if I move.
  • Within the last month we had a bit of a go with them. Tried to get price down by phone, offered nothing.

    Went to Facebook, a bit of toing and froing, managed to get Medium TV and phone, and the broadband we are currently on (20meg, don't need more) for £25 a month. Took a bit of doing, but it worked :)

    Just in time too, not had any email about the broadband going up :)
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Not heard anything yet personally but while it's only £2.50, my package is slightly more expensive already then what I could get elsewhere, albeit the broadband is better.

    I'll wait and see what happens and if I do get lettered or whether it's customers on specific bundles/packages :(
