Plusnet haggling

Hi

I'm with Plusnet and I'm now out of contract. I've had no problems with them so would like to stay with them...however that would all depend on if I can save money!


I currently pay £40 for unlimited broadband/line rental/unlimited home phone calls


Before I go haggling for a reduction or more drastic measures,asking for my mac code, can anyone who is on the same package please let me know what they are paying and with which company, just so I can go armed with some comparison. Thanks.


cheers

    Renewed my phone/BB deals with Plusnet in June; paid for 12 months advance line rental and got a 24 month deal on unlimited b/band -as I'm on a legacy product I get free E/W calls included. I'm paying the equivalent of ~ £18 per month in total on a Market 1 exchange.
    Others have reported getting even lower total costs inc. almost free b/band!
    Ring Customer Retentions on 03301239197 -sure you can get at least £15 off your current spend even allowing for Anytime call package!
  • Thanks brewerdave

    I get on to that this weekend...cheers

    My contract is ending next month. I am on a standard BB paying £8pm - I was looking for fibre - they offered me £10pm for 40mb 24 months contract. My rental saver is due to be renewed in May. So if I change providers I will loose out on LRS.

    Heard bad stuff about TalkTalk when it initially came out. How is it now??

    Thanks
