BT loyalty is a one way thing

  • OP, if you'd really rather stay with BT, then why not simply move to Plusnet? You'll get BT service (hah!), the same BT nerwork, but at PN new customer rates.
    Just what I was thinking of doing !!
    It's bizarre that you seem to think that negotiating a price with a provider is some sort of modern foreign phenomenon...

    maybe I am just getting old - but I certainly remember a time when haggling over the price set by service providers was not done.

    Do people haggle over the price of the services of water or power ? (I do not mean change providers at the end of a contract for a better deal, but to haggle over discount for there existing one)

    I only ask the above question to find out if it is true - if it is, I will try it

    Yes back in the days of no choice .

    You wont be haggling over a discount for an existing contract . You will be haggling over the price of a NEW contract or you will stick with your existing contracts price rises .Or you will be terminating this existing contract .

    Yes, the top 2 or 3 will be of interest to you (possibly others too):
