8 Meg Broadband for £11.80 per month

During August last year i was considering changing my internet package and managed to get the deal down to £15.49 per month and that was including the £10.50 line rental from BT. I was recently thinking again, this being 7 months from last talking to Orange about my internet package, how long i had left on my current contract as there seemed to be some decent deals floating around. I rang and ploitely asked if they could tell me how long was left and was promptly asked " whatever for ? are you thinking of leaving us ? " i told the assistant that although i have never had any reason to leave as i had always had a fantastic service, i was now considering doing so but before i went any further i wanted to know what lengths Orange would go to in order to keep a " loyal " customer of near 4 years.
Also included in my current package is the full, although sometimes i don't feel like i am receiving it, 8 meg downoad speed, along with free calls through the modem. Whats more the first 6 months were FREE.
I must admit i was gobsmacked when she said if i were to be regraded that day she could offer me a fresh 12 month contract on the same package, but this time she would again offer me the first 6 months FREE as well as reducing the monthly rate to £5.00 there after.
So my total internet costs for the year would be 12 months x £9.95 payable to the http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/jump1?catId=68600711&mediaId=19300217 ( changed from BT )= £119.40 + £5.00 X 6 months Orange = £149.40 If you do change over to the Post Office remember to do it through the Quidco cashback site and you will earn £9.25 for switching to their Homephone service, quick note as well, if you do sign up through Quidco then please clear your cookies so the tracking system at http://www.quidco.com/post-office/ can verify the visit to your account.
Divide this cost by 12 months again and you have £12.45 this isn't £11.80 i hear you say !!!! and you're right, the £11.80 comes from the following,
A. 6 months x £10.50 = £63.00 ( this is the last 6 months line rental under BT from last years contract and 6 months of those were FREE broadband )
B. £149.40 from the mew contract figures above.

A. + B. Divide by 18 months ( next 12 plus last 6 ) = £11.80 per month or 39 pence per day over 18 months.

So it really is Good to Talk.
