Three home broadband - start a new contract

I originally signed up for Three home broadband, 24 month contract starting at £24 a month. Very happy overall with the service dispite a few outages and get speeds of 200Mbps+ some days. Now I'm 2 and a half years in, out of contract, and paying £26-21p per month due to annual increases.
Three are offering new signers a deal of £20 a month, first 3 months free, and new modem. I thought I would be cheeky and ask for the same deal, seeing as I was out of contract. Tried on webchat and it was a disaster - don't try it. Then I went into the local 3 shop and asked for the deal. They gave it me straight away without any arguments. So the equivalent cost per month over 2 years at £17-50/month is £420. A saving of £191-54 over the 24 month contract.
