    Yes odd that. I think someones confused. Perhaps they just meant the mobile calls are 1500 minutes rather than unlimited??

    My bill was due to rise from £32 to £35 pm (fibre plus anytime UK calls), so called to cancel as was interested in Vodafone £21 fibre deal ( no calls but £90 cashback via Quidco)
    New bill now £24 with calls, so quite happy. No cashback but don't have to go around changing router details in all devices for a while.

    You can just change the router details to match the old one!

    Providing the old password meets new password rules (e.g capital letter and number included)

    I called EE as I was due to rise from £26 to £28. The best they could do was £25 so I said I would cancel.

    I've gone with Vodafone from MSE at £21 with a £75 M&S voucher. Quidco looked better initially at £21 with £90 cashback, but that only applies to existing Vodafone customers. Non- Vodafone customers are £23.

    Thank you, that is a heartening result. May I ask was that with just anytime landline calls or did it include mobile calls as well?

    That was the landline anytime calls which they discounted from £5 to £3, and price matched the Vodafone fibre of £21pm to give total of £24 on a new 18 month contract.
    Actually quite crazy on their part as I would have ben stuck paying £32 per month for the next 11 months, if they hadn't decided to increase their price for in contract customers.

    Those doing deals, will it rise significantly after 12 months?


    I recall trying to do a deal with EE before, and after 12months it would be even higher.
  • I only upgraded to Fibre in December during their £25 a month offer with 20GB mobile data boost.
    Six months in and they want to put it up to £28. I would have left but because I rely on the data boost I can't really. I thought I was being savvy by taking a really low data SIM only contract with them and having the data boost with the BB but now it just means I have less freedom to switch providers!

    I got them to keep my bill at £25, but of course that meant starting my 18 month contract all over again. :(

    Fibre plus 20GB+ mobile data for £25 looks like a really good deal to me. Guess there's no pleasing some people ;)

    I guess if you do a deal you also get an RPI clause added into the contract.
