Telephone/broadband costs

We are with virgin. TV with extra BT sport channel. Line rental which we never use except to phone them. Unlimited broadband £42 per month.
I almost feel sorry for the person my OH is 'negotiating' with when they put the bill up.
One thing to do is not to have a rolling contract. When your contract ends tell them you want to cancel that one and start again as a new customer. Tell them what you want, don't ask them what they have on offer.

I am with BT and my monthly bill is averaging £70 . I rang them this week to query this and got the reply that this is an average cost. I only changed to get BT sport for £7:50 instead of a much higher charge. I am tied in until September. I told them I will be leaving then. They offered me £1:50 reduction for caller number. Big deal.

I am with Plusnet also and I have a bargain with them. I pay on average £15 a month, this month it is £20 because of the mobile numbers I have been ringing. I have "free" landlines 24/7 for an hour each call. Unlimited broadband also.

Have a look at what Plusnet has to offer and you may see that you could get a deal as good as mine especially if you say that you are thinking of changing. I have been with Plusnet I think for over 5 years now.

I'm with Virgin Media and have good broadband speed, plus free phone calls to any land line numbers from 7 o'clock Friday night to 7 o'clock Monday morning. This suits me fine because I'm out at work during the week and so use my mobile then anyway. I pay £27.50 a month, set price for 2 years. Don't bother with t.v. at all so never signed up for that.

Here you are!

Aargh! Just checked our BT bill. Line rental and Fibre optic broadband is £54 a month. However with add ons such as evening calls and Friends and families overseas, plus some calls made in the daytime, I paid £69 this month. That is ridiculous! Makes your Plusnet look a real bargain Watermeadow. ?
I suggest you do what I am about to do and try Money Saving Expert who do a cheap broadband section.

water ours is linked in with our television package (Sky) so sorry I can't help. All I know is that we seem to pay a small fortune because we have to have Sky Sports.

I also think that no matter what "great deal" is offered when you first sign up, in no time at all the monthly charge goes up anyway.
