Oh, & with having applied for the E-On Winter Warmer fuel saving discount' I've managed to save £500 in a week!!:j:j:j:j:j:j
Is that what they told you?
If you have accepted a new 12 months contract, then simply reinstating the deals after 6/10 months will not be easy as you have no bargaining power. You won't be able to threaten to cancel without paying early termination fees.
Do let us know in 6/10 months how you get on with that.

At the moment it seems that if you come away from the negotiating table with an offer of anything less than 50% off your existing TV package for 12 months you must be doing something wrong.
You called about tv, but he cancelled your broadband ?
I would complain about that, as if leaving with your phone and broadband you need to be able to let another provider take over and so keep your number.
There could also be cancellation and setup fees incurred, if another provider doesn't do the process for you.
................but I would be tied in for an extra 10 months !!
It annoys me though that my friend and neighbour has just joined Sky and is getting the top TV package, multiroom, Fibre unlimited and the phone line for 50% less than I'm paying.
What would be the chances of me just going into live chat, nicely telling them the above (I've been a customer for 8 years) and getting anything worthwhile off them?
EDIT - I'll answer my own question as I just tried it. £20 off my overall bill per month is what was offered. From £87 to £67. No movement other than that.
You'll get something but not as much as 50% off.
Why not cancel the TV part only? If it's switched off it's simple to turn back on with no problems. Then when you get an offer you can negotiate the BB and phone part too.
