It is annoying when it is not just the home phone and broadband that is not constant, its other bills like mobile, gas and electric, rent etc including food... its annoying...

I read the email again today and looked at the price hikes which prompted me to come back to the site and see what the general opinion was and it seems as though many people are having the same thoughts as me. I am also tied into LRS for a good few months and also took out a new contract for broadband just a few months ago so it looks as though I am unable to move to another provider anytime soon.
Although BT prices are similar to plusnet I will get a reduced price broadband contract if I do move plus a "free" HH5 and BT sport included. My LRS contract will not be renewed when it comes up for it and I will really have to look at the cost of getting out of my broadband contract.
Another thing that showed me how out of touch I am is the price we pay for landline calls. 10p a minute! I have always used the landline rather than my mobile and advised my wife to do the same as thought it was much cheaper than mobiles. Given that we always have time left over on the mobiles that will be changing once I cancel the monthly contract for anytime calls.

On one side they are removing features that made plusnet unique and gave it its reputation. Kelly, Dave and co will likely be upset but their hands are tied.
On the other side the price changes they not that cheap for the price sensitive customers, unless of course you a new customer.

When I checked the BT pages for options the other day BT Sport is now only “free” if you access via a BT TV box. BT Sport via the Sky platform or web is now £5pm (plus £5pm for HD).

I must admit I last looked around 12 months ago when I was considering leaving plusnet because of the problems I was having getting a fault fixed. I'm not going to be able to move for another 12 months or so because of the contract I took out and LRS payment made earlier this year. No doubt things will have changed by then especially as BT are going to have to do something to recover the obscene amounts of money they are paying for football

We never use the landline for calls except when it's free (or by mistake), haven't done for years. It's madness if you have a contract mobile phone.

Apart from that my landline is purely to carry my broadband so my broadband is currently £22.72 per month after my referral discount.

Quote from: Mayfly I know you have 30 days from their email to tell them you are leaving and you need to given them 14 notice so does that mean if you want to leave the maximum you can stay is 6 weeks after the email or can you delay the departure until the price rise?
As long as you call within the 30 days of the email, the conditions have been met and you're free to leave. So this should be fine.

Sadly some companies it seems still breach the new 084x guidelines.
