    Why do you need to ask whether or not you should do the right thing?


    Tell them about how well you've done saving you all that much money, share it out and strongly hint that maybe they could treat you to your favourite takeaway :)



    Be nice!

    When do you get the cash back? If at the end of a fixed period, then no keep quuet. Until you realise a gain and it becomes payable there is no benefit.

    It depends on the terms and conditions if the contract you read snd understood when you took out the broadband right?

  • I have done exactly this.

    I rented a room in a shared house, and I didn't know much about the other people in the house other than that they worked at the same massive company who was my client, and where the landlady had worked before she moved to their German Factory.

    Over a year the people in the house changed frequently, and each month and at each change of person, I did a meter check and gave them all an itemised bill. In the time I was there I changed supplier twice and got 6 bottles of wine and cash back, plus I paid via a cash back credit card.
    I didn't consider it a moral issue. I was taking the risk, of having to chase them for their share, and spending time dealing with it, so saw it as payment for the risk and stress.
