Can I make BT to take longer to start my broadband contract

Mishomeister

As some of you may be aware BT offer £125 prepaid Mastercard to it's new broadband customers. If applied via TopCashback there is a further £120 cashback payable.
All this together would mean around £13 pm cost to me for 52mb broadband.

I am however tied with TalkTalk for another 2 months and do not want to pay them circa £50 for early cancelation.

I was wondering is there any way to make a BT really long to do their switch so it would only happen aoound the time my TalkTalk deal is due?

For example to they offer the dates for the engineer to come for installation and I could potentially chose a date far away?
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Nope .
One engineer may not need to call .
Two current offer can be changed at any time and you will not be in contract until you actually switch .

Are you sure? This would make them to lose customers.

At the moment BT appear to be the 'DFS' of the telecom world ....'hurry sale ends soon' , to be immediately replaced by another 'sale'...it's a safe enough bet that in two months time there will be a similar offer to take advantage of, but it you really must take advantage of this current offer, given its a migration that's required, no engineer visit needed, so no choice of picking a well into the future appointment date, you are looking at about 14 days to switch, so you would probably be unable to avoid about 6 weeks ETC...

Plusnet are the same. They go from ads proclaiming that their full price is the best ever,to ads with reduced prices and vouchers.


However, you can't use a cashback site and receive their voucher.
