Just a rant and a warning....
Last month I decided to change my broadband package from the Value service at £12.99 with 50% discount to the Unlimited Download Package. The indication on the change product web page was that there would be a £4 difference in the price £12.99 to £16.99. What it didn't say is that you would lose your 50% discount because your are changing the contract. I'm now faced with a larger increase in my bill.
Customer service were less than helpful and showed a complete lack of understanding that the information posted was mis-leading. I asked to be returned to my original package and was told I couldn't.
BTW: it took 25minutes to get through to someone.
I've now made a formal complaint and will see what happens.
Beware

Hi Newalpost,
I'm just about to update the ticket you've raised.
I hope this helps resolve the problem for you and I'm sorry for you feel that you've been mislead.

Chris,
given the number of times this has come up, or related question posted beforehand, wouldn't it be worthwhile adding the http://community.plus.net/unlimited-faq/ link on the product change page, along the lines of the Fibre FAQ?

While the information is in the FAQ, the existence of the FAQ is not obvious, unless you go hunting...
Given the importance of #11, referencing the FAQ directly from the product change page seems a wise idea!

Oh I see what you mean, sorry.
Leave it with me, and I'll have a word. Thanks for flagging that up.

I'd go further and say that when you go to Product Change it should pop up a warning if you currently receive a discount which continues beyond the end of the current month. That should warn that you will lose the discount and suggest that they ring COT to discuss the options available.
