Take the offer now or wait till November for better offers?

Hi,

There is Vodafone's Full Fibre 500 offer at an equivalent monthly cost of £25.
Do you think there will be better offers yet in November (the Black Friday month) or should one take the current offer?

    What is this Black Friday of which you speak?
    but the answer is Yes/No/Maybe. 
    More important is “what are you paying now?” Because you need to take that into account. No point waiting a month to save a pound/month if you’re paying £20 over the odds now.

    I’ve been offered 500mb for £1 more than I currently pay for 150mb although that’s all I need. 

    I upgraded last November during BF week to wipe out the previous annual rise and am going to see if there’s similar available this year.

    It's a good deal but there are better, Sky offer 900mb for the same price £25 with £100 voucher. And Vodafone offer 900mb for £24 with a £140 voucher for new customer. Jump ship!

    It’s Vodafone I’m with but under contract so can’t leave. 

    I was always one for switching BB but have been happy with offers from Vodafone and service is faultless. When I originally joined I did get a £130 gift card and £56 TopCashback. 

    I’m on 150mb and don’t need higher as tempted as I’ve been with 500/910mb deals. 

    I also benefit from the Vodafone SIMO that was a massive saving after being with Orange/EE for 26 years. That also creates a £3 together discount.

    If you accept the upgrade, that will tie you into a new 24(?) month contract with the usual 2 price increases in that period.
