Moving to EE while in contract

[#1]

I’m currently in contract for another 13 months with PN. I pay £39.99 for the 900mb service. I can get the same package with EE for £25.99 per month and a £150 gift card.
If I transfer to EE will I still be charged the early termination fee? I heard somewhere that as it’s within the ‘BT group’ you don’t get charged. Is this right?
My fee would be £479 or thereabouts.

Many thanks
Paul

Can you really? Their web site suggests that this is the monthly cost of their 74Mbps service.

The bottom line is that your options are to ask Plusnet  to  transfer your current contract, at the same price for the rest of your contract to EE, or you pay the early termination charges and start a new contract with EE.

The price is on MoneySupermarket. Why would I ask EE to take over my connection at the same cost I pay to PN? It’s still more expensive than EE.

You entered into a fixed term contract, at a known price, with enjoined increases and exit terms.  Why do you think you should be released without penalty to get service from elsewhere before the contract has concluded?

EE was offering to pay ETCs up £300 recently.  Such might be the most you can reasonably expect.

EE won't cover ETCs from BT group transfers.
