sorted byI started at 30 for 100mb, now I am paying 45 for the same speed
2 year contracts are definitely pure evil, though. I foolishly signed up for the fibre 900 package the minute it became available last July at £55, so had a nasty increase this year and one to look forward to for a few months next year.
Also called them 4 weeks ago as I didnt want to pay the annual price rise of approx 15% on top of my £29.99 package which had 14 months left to run. I recontracted for another 18 momnths and the deal was for no increase until April 2024. Nice one.
One of thier retentions team rung me a few days before I was leaving and asked why?
I said you always give incentives
to new subscribers and nothing for existing customers only price increases!
I said it's a bit late in the day, you should be ringing round and giving discounts 2 months before thier contract expires.
She was fairly honest and said that's what most people have been saying.
Come on BT wake up and smell the coffee!
I will be jumping ship come time unless they reduce my bill too at least £35 per month.
There is an offer online all the time to upgrade to 900 for an extra £5 per month and as each year
end approaches i always get an offer to renew at the same price £39.99...
As long as you take up that offer in early march you avoid the cpi + hikes every year. (edited)
It is good however if you have a lot devices that often fight each other for bandwidth. More Mbps means you’re devices should have less reason to fight.
You can however expect 500+ wirelessly on a range of devices, so if you’re not going to invest in network hardware or not going to have your devices hardwired it may make more sense to opt for the slower and cheaper package.
In what time period did that increase happen though?
In your contract you can't have had any more than 2 price increases totalling about 20%.
Once out of your contract then you can just go looking for a new deal.
I had a £30 contract for fibre 100 and that was actually £38 with an £8 discount so that when the contract expired it reverted to the original £38 plus the price increases which would have taken it close to £45.
I note that the new BT 500mbps contract is actually listed as £35.99 with a £5 discount making it £30.99.
Also worth noting that all prices increases are on the base price and not the discounted one.
The fact that they like other providers don't mention this is a scam which offcom need to sort out. For example if a company charges you £15 for the service but say they are giving you a 5 discount and then apply increase to the £20 rate they are effectively getting more than their CPI + rate which is unjustified. Also I think if CPI is at a certain rate, say plus 10%, then no further increase should be allowed. Obviously would need to be done on a sliding scale so the most you would pay if CPI is below 10% is 10%. They should not allow more than one rise per contract term
As we were out of contract I called them and asked for and got this 500mbps deal.
I was on 30 mbps for long time
Now on 5G around 100-200 mbps
Now way i will back to BT to 30 mbps and 5 mbps upload
Where now i can upload 100mbps So nearly 20 x Times faster
if you do not have cloud storage it is not really important upload but if you do then upload 10 Gb file can take days on BT where now it is hour time
do not know what BT thinking but with these speeds they will lose client really fast where 5G pushing forward very fast and BT can be let behind
I know BT own EE so they have little protection but when I checked 5G EE prices OMG what they thinking and they have CAP for 1 TB data it is joke
Thinking of getting shot of sky TV, variety, movies, sport etc and going with the equivalent packages but with BT, I already have BT broadband but it's out of contract.
Any ideas how long this sale is active for? Hope I don't miss it 😬
Never going back to BT.
