    You'd need that promise in writing...or do they mean that they will honour the prices for one week, after which they go up to the correct level?
  • Looks like a good offer but as Teddysmum told some writing assurance is needed ..

    Whatever the deal ISPs can always increase it mid term and give you the option to cancel free.

    IMO this is wrong and they should be forced to stick to the agreed price for the duration of the contract. Should they drop their prices mid term there is not a cat in hell's chance that they will reduce the prices for in contract customers and should you ask to cancel there will be penalty charges.

    I recall there were going to be some changes along those lines for mobile phone contracts.

    All businesses increase their prices, but in this case, they are not forced upon you, as you are free to leave without penalty,if an increase is announced.You have lost nothing and can go to any other provider you choose.
