Where to move BB to

Datman

Hi all,
my Currunt BB  Now TV is ciomng to an end  in sept  currently £25 a month for 10 upload 60 download  phoneline included  the new price they are wnting for the same is £28.50 
i dont need or want a Superfibre line put in ( i know this would be the best route  pricewise)
But is there any others offering  fibre to the cabinet  with a phone line for around the £25 mark, i know  that not all isps are advertising  non superfibre deals, my mum has just got a new contract with plusnet  thats  fibre to the cabinet and phoneline, looking at the comparison sites  cant see much avail there   
thanks

If you are an FTTP only/Priority area the only options available to you will be superfast fibre.

If you want to stay where you are on an FTTC connection you'll have to make contact with Now and see if you can get a retention deal.if there are no available options in your area.

Plusnet won't be offering a phone line or digital voice with their FTTP products either FYI.  The hand will be forced at some point on that as well.

Plusnet tried to push my mum onto a superfibre package which she didnt want as she wanted her phone line for medical reasons, she was then told no  you cant have that , so sher said she would leave, put through to retentions explaind she didnt want any increase in speed or superfibre and lo and behold was told she could keep the same package she was on including phone line and to make sure she got a good price and for the inconvienance of them first saying no, they will send her a £50 voucher, the thing that annoys me about now is they only offer 3 packages on their webpage all full fibre,  yet in the email they sent they say i can keep what im on  which is  FTTC   for an extra £3.50 a month, so thinking about it is there anyone on a FTTC bb with a speed of around 60 download?   i will tel now in the next week and see if they can give a deal but i doubt it as the email i  got said

Super Fibre

63 Mbps Average Speed, Unlimited Downloads, includes Line Rental

Pay as you use calls
£28.50 a month
New 12 months minimum term applies. Prices may change during this period.
This includes a discount of £13.00 a month. Your discount will expire 12 months from the date you redeem.

so i dont think they will reduce it anymore
another think thats confusing for me is 
they call this Superfibre yet its  FTTC
if i go to another isp and see thier packages and it says super fibre its FTTP, if no one can say they are on FTTC  here then i guess i will have to message isps and see if they do FTTC but just not advertising it as FTTP is faster

Your mums current phone service with Plusnet will have to change in the not too distant. When the legacy PSTN is switched off, Plusnet dont have an alternative voice product so she would have to migrate to a provider which does - EE for example. But that will be a digital voice service.

tell me about it lol , its a nightmare  explaining how her non smart tv and dvd recorder works, she hasnt a clue on mobile phones ect so that will be next thing when pstn is turned off
