Does the 'data' 'slow down' or anything once you have got above a certain usage?
(I'm actually not planning on ripping the !!!! out of it with downloading and streaming etc but worried about my data getting used up for doing important things)
I agree - after having a bad experience recently with my provider where they won't deliver a good service but are insisting I am tied into a contract ,and,recently,reading through other stories about other providers,I am very disillusioned and thinking I don't trust any of them.
There should be some regulation of the industry surely?
Reading the stories about people who have agreed to a contract and then the provider puts prices up.Surely that can't be right??The price should stay the same for the contract ,it shouldn't only work one way round and then not the other.
Hello, I do find the speed is great getting around 70mb off-peak and peak time around 40mb.( depending on your area location)(FUP on Smarty and three UK is 1000gb a month)
You best bet is to try Smarty unlimited £25 payandgo runs on the three UK network. if your happy with the speed and coverage head over to three sign up to the £20 a month with quidco cashback.
Yes I hate these companies using RPI and price increase each year they re taking us for a ride.0 -
Thank you so much for your advice Pluto8888 (love the name btw)
I've just now signed up for the Smarty SIM card just now.
As you suggested,I can try out using the same network as Three use and see how it.goes with no strings attached,possibly moving over to a more permanent cheaper contract with Three for data if it works ok for me.
Unfortunately I will need to pay Plusnet over £100 to leave their contract now.I'm planning not to ever sign up with any of them ever again!0 -
Love it when they raise the price mid contract..more ££'s for me. Another set of cash from top cashback or/AND company and/or a fantastic offer from a rival.
They give me a great chance to break contract penalty free!I have done it once within 3 months of joing BT and it COST them money, idiots!I have numerous qualifications in Business and Finance, Accountancy, Health and Safety and am now studying Law.
Don't rely on anything I write as it may be wrong!!!0 -

Mine is going up from £26 to £28 but they will negotiate on that.
I'm not seeing any exciting offers to replace it. Like-for-like speedwise on BT is £35.99 and £29.99 setup with cashback from quidco or £29.99 and £9.99 on an affiliate offer. Both offers are providing some free tech equipment, but I'm not excited by any of it either.
There are a few 'rivals' I wouldn't touch.0 -

Well on the moneysavingexpert broadband page they mention Vodafone will do basic fibre for £21 a month with a £100 amazon voucher, or around £16 equivalent which is pretty good.
Plus.net have a deal around £24 a month with a £50 cashback cheque or possibly £70 topcashback.
Do post if anyone gets a good fibre offer from EE. It would be helpful to know how low they will go.0 -
Just got my letter. Been with them 3 years no problems but changing price mid term is a bit off. Good time to look else where and get a cashback deal. Currently pay£32 but they want a extra £2.
Nowbroadband do the same package at £30 with a few extras but £90 cashback on a 12 month contract. Looking at other alternatives now.
Once armed I will phone them and see if they can match the new offers I get. They increase the price I get a better deal. nice one EE.0 -
They tried to upsell me to fibre, then said the best they could do was to continue my £22.50 ADSL, despite them offering £20 ADSL to new customers on their website.
So I've moved to Plusnet, £2.50 a month cheaper, £75 cashback cheque.

'millsview' if you want to put me down as a referrer during the signup process :-)A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
I was leaving EE and going to the post office, EE rang me today and offered me a deal for £19 a month with anytime calls and 1,500 minutes to any mobile no, plus the £17 credit i was charged ,in my eyes wrongly for calls from my landline to my mobile when i was trying to locate, had been charged for 20 minutes of time,when i would only ring and ring off it wouldnt even ring for 20 minutes to get to the answer phone,so must have been wrong somewhere it, so i am happy for now
Almost forgot to say i was offered fibre for £24 a month0 -
EE told me they don't do anytime calls when I phoned to cancel following their price increase email yesterday. Currently paying EE £29 for FTC broadband and evening and weekend calls, when I phoned to cancel they told me they could remove the increase and reduce my current charge to £27 per month. Just put through a switch to Now tv for FTC plus anytime calls for £25 per month. My average monthly bill is app £40 per month due to having to occasionally use the landline during the day so savings all round.0

EE do a £4 and £8 / month call package last time I looked0
