So my contract with BT is up for BT Broadband (superfast fibre unlimited) anytime calls and line rental!

Was paying £37 a month now its up to £47 a month. They tried to get me a bundle package including TV but not interested as the freeview channels I have is all I need.

Haven't renewed my BT contract and thinking of changing to another provider like Vodafone or Post Office!

Decisions, decisions, BT seems a rip off!! :mad:

    I am with BT and the prices are a joke.


    Had a good deal for the first 18 months but now its just too expensive.


    I've just switched to the 'Big Bundle' with Virgin for £29 per months and £25 set-up fee.


    Its less than the best BT price they offered and I get TV included.
    :jTo be Young AGAIN!!!!...what a wonderfull thought!!!!!:rolleyes:

    BT are awful, I do my best to try and stay away from them! Plusnet us the closest I'll get - we had to have a new line installed when we moved, I thought bt was my only option so signed up, but wasn't happy with the price or bring stuck with them for 18 months. Found out I could use Plusnet (bt owned but I've always found them considerably better although they wouldn't be my first choice) - got a really sarcastic, horrible guy on bt customer services when I called to cancel.

    Vodafone have always been good to me, or my sister had a really good deal and good service from nowtv.

    Use your BT online account to see all the options available to you.

    £47pm sounds like the normal cost for those out of contract. You need to agree a new contract to get a deal.

    Now BT giving me Superfast Fibre unlimited broadband (72-76 mb) for £29.95 a month including line rental. They say Talk Talk won't give me free anti-virus and won't have 24/7 tech help!

    I was paying BT £73 a month, then they wanted more, I had paid advance line rental, and that took the total monthly down to the £73 they were upping it about £3 a month and they never notified me of any increase. I jumped to Plusnet and I ditched the TV part when I switched, and the TV tax, a saving of £300 a year. I also paid advance line rental but they started to put their up, so I switched again after I had 11 months of my advance payment, I will be switching again in about 12 months as the minimum contract period will be up.
    Someone please tell me what money is
