Switching from Talktalk to EE

HughPughBarneyMcgrew

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

My situation is: I currently have my line rental and broadband with talktalk, but want to switch to EE because it's cheap, cheap, cheap! My talktalk contract ends on 3rd June. What is the best way to go about the switch?
I don't want to pay any cancellation charges with talktalk, but I don't want my BT line switched off (causing a £60 reconnection charge with EE) if there are a few days between talktalk ending on EE starting?

This must be a common issue with switching broadband providers at the end of a year's contract :undecided

I was in the process of doing exactly the same - see this thread that I posted last week.

The long and short of it is that TT have almost matched EE from a cost perspective, but also given me free evening calls too which EE didn't in their £2 per month offer.

Call up their retentions team, and tell them you are leaving them to join EE on the £2 per month tariff (if that's what you wanted to do) and taking the £130 Quidco cashback. Then ask then to match it and you'll stay; even quote the £2.25 per month offer plus £130 rebate to your account.

One thing to note; I called up for my Dad at the weekend and got him exactly the same deal.

As for your concerns over cancellation charges etc, you have the legal right to end your contract with TT early without charges as they've increase your monthly cost during your contract period.

So you have the power to decide...

I have just checked Quidco and I cannot see the £130 cashback, am I missing something?
