    I guess they don't man the website 24/7 as the old prices were up this morning. As already said, the new prices are now up.

    I noticed yesterday on a few websites that carry Setanta ads that all of them had dropped the price with new adverts making no mention of the price at all.

    In that case I am wrong and sit corrected. Commercial suicide though imho

    Agreed. Whoever thought a Man U pre-season tour and a couple of England friendlies would sell subs over the summer is obviously out of their depth.

    Well I have not had notification of any increase and if they take the DD incorrectly, that will be end of contract
    so if they dont inform us and take extra via dd,we can end it,as they have broken the agreement?

    The new prices from today are for new customers, which means in June they'll follow their notification procedure for price increases for existing customers by e-mail and letter to take place from July 1st.

    Christine in customer services told me they were told by management to deny the price increase until it was officially notified to existing customers, but was happy to give out the information anyway.

    I just wonder? And if it is wrong, well!
