Could I get a refund for EE overcharging me

Hi all

I have been with EE broadband for 10 years, and currently being charged £56 a month for 40mb broadband. 

I was on EE TV, the original one, which was deactivated a few years ago. I think they just knocked a few quid off at the time. Somehow, I've been on the same plan "EE TV, Fibre & Weekend landline" for all this time.

So obviously, they have been ripping me off for many years. I'm looking to move to a fast fibre connection for way less, but before I do, is there any chance I could get any sort of refund for this blatant overcharging?

Thanks all

    When you say "blatant overcharging", do you mean you have been paying for services that you haven't been receiving, or that its more expensive than you would like?

    You can always ask, but look at it from their point of view.   They provided a service that you agreed to pay a certain amount for and you paid it for 10 years without complaining - I don't see any incentive for them to give you anything back.

    Think of it as a positive - you've found out now, you could have paid it another 10 years without realising.
