Bt broadband contract retention tips

Unfortunately BT don't do too much in the way of amazing deals for retentions. You can call them up, tell them you found X deal elsewhere and are considering taking it but if you are offered anything it will just be the one price, nothing too impressive, take it or leave it.

The good thing for you though is that BT use Openreach. So you can switch to other providers on the Openreach network with only about 20 minutes of downtime and keep using the same wires that are already going into your house.

Onestream use the Openreach infrastructure too, and are part of Vodafone business. They can do you 50Mbps speeds for £19.50 a month or up to 80Mb for £20.50 a month.

Vodafone themselves will do the same 80Mb package for £23 a month with a £50 voucher included. But you can get £3 a month discount if you have a mobile or SIM only contract from Vodafone.

Otherwise, your other options would be looking at other BT Group companies if BT Themselves don't offer you a deal you are happy with. Plusnet and EE are owned by BT, have the same router and the same customer service etc. They might have better deals. EE Especially if you have a mobile or SIM contract with them for example.

And finally, just on the small chance that you have someone eligible in your household, if you or someone you live with receives government benefits like Universal Credit then you can get 40Mb broadband for £12-15 per month, or 80Mb for £20 per month thanks to their social tariffs. Both BT and Vodafone offer good examples of this.

Just ring up tell them your looking for a better deal on your current package as you've found the virgin one and are thinking about leaving, see what they offer you and decide form there
