Plusnet Broadband Price Increase

I had an email to say that as my 18 month contract with them was expiring next month, they would be increasing my fibre broadband charge from £31.99 to £39.99.
I phoned them and mentioned their new customer offers, and after 45 minutes negotiation, they reduced the price to £24.99, plus a £75 pre-paid MasterCard which we can put towards face nappies to go and spend it!

If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

    That's not a "price increase", that's just the normal end of contract thing.

    Just don't be too surprised if the card never appears
    A search on here will reveal they seem to vaporise
