If it was a problem inside your house it would be your responsibility anyway - anything after the test socket. I think all ISP's charge if the fault turns out to be with the customers property.0 -

You think £114 is high for a call out fee, fair enough.
Please could you tell us your isp, and how much they would charge to repair a problem inside your house, i.e after the master socket.Move along, nothing to see.0 -
No one has to allow access to Indirect Access Numbers like 1899/ 18185/ 18866 anymore not even BT .
See: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4778004
Even if they do allow them they could be blocked at anytime.
The alternative is to use a freephone access number eg:http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php
not as cheap as direct access to 01/02/03 numbers but a lot cheaper then the SSE Tariff.
I see they also have a £2 a month evening call bundle and a £5 a month 24/7 call bundle which might be better for some users depending on useage ,if they will add them to this deal.
Looks like they increase your monthly line rental from £12 to £15 if you add call bundles . https://www.sse.co.uk/PhoneAndBroadband/ProductsTalk/0 -
Hi ,I am new to this, please can someone assist me in trying to claim via top cash back,to save £55, every time I try via tcb web site and get to the point of entering my landline no ,it sends a message to call SSE,as you know ,you can only get cash back on line.this has also been the same problem on SSE direct web site.I am ex BT and currently on tesco.
I have also called SSE last week as a general enquiry and was told they entered my land line no and it was OK to set up.
This seems a very good deal for a basic low user. of calls and just want to use the internet for e mails and browsing etc..thanks ph.0 -

That's a standard BT OR call out charge (usually £130), nothing specific to SSE at all.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
just spoke to SSE about the deal....I could be without service for 7-10 days!! this is the deal breaker for me I'm afraid. pity, since good deal.0

I think you are referring to the Topcashback site wanting your bank details to pay you your cashback !??0
