You are 100% correct…..they will say "no way" you cant …wont get that deal or monthly cost …..wasting your time…then over the next days even weeks make much lower offers…if you hold out !
In other words its a protracted lie so you pay more straight off the bat which many do… it works obviously .
Its the business model they use …..
Messing people/customers around is how the whole thing works.
As they know people do not have time or just cant be bovvered wasting time during "every contract renewal "so they all do it to varying degrees…. not just broadband .
They will have percantage figures how this business model increases profits .
Its like we have gone back in time to market bartering ie getting ripped off in many instances….which is standard practise in third world countrys .

Your last paragraph is nonsense, you've always had to negotiate for a better deal at the end of minimum term for almost anything. If you don't want to pay it, go elsewhere. The 3rd world countries comment is actually offensive.

I have just had a call with Sky about a deal for my broadband for my new address, they offered nothing for 8 years loyalty, so I have just cancelled, lets see if they contact me in next few days lol

Skys business model on broadband contract costs is taken from a ping pong table !
