Thread: Am I Getting A Decent Broadband/Phone Deal?

  1. #1

    Am I Getting A Decent Broadband/Phone Deal?

    I'm with Talk Talk and have been for yonks, I actually find them OK. But following my latest deal, it has now gone up to £42 pm. I get:

    Unlimited Fibre BB
    Free Anytime calls to all UK numbers (not 0845)
    Free anytime calls to UK mobiles

    Is this an OK deal, or should I be looking around?

    I am with talktalk , have been for a while now. Unlimited fibre @ 22.50 a month 38mbs , I Never take the unlimited calls with it, you can usually get that as an add on for 7.50 a month, so It sounds steep as fibre 63 mbs is being advertised at the moment for £26 a month.

    Can't beat BT unfortunately .
    I've got some super duper upgrade which has been costing me £62 a month for the last two months but I haven't got round to connecting it up yet.

    I was paying almost 90 month for my Bb, phone and telly. Called up to cancel and now it's 35. The person I spoke to even said you should treat it like car insurance and shop around every 12 months.

    So if you haven't renewed for a year or so, yes you are overpaying. And don't forget topcashback if you do switch- a typical bb, phone and TV renewal will pay about £150

    I was paying around £55 for broadband bt TV and free weekend calls. They dropped it to £37 when I said Was leaving. But then I contracted to talk talk for £30.They phoned me up and offered me the same package plus the newest box for £22. I said I had already contracted elsewhere and they said no problem we'll put you through to them right now to cancel, which I did! Happy days. It shows you only get the best deals if you cancel and then hang up and go elseware, They Will come back with a better deal.

    That's a great deal you got there for yourself! However, it just goes to show, they are still making a profit on giving you this package at 35GBP. It questions how much they originally overcharge customers in the first place.

    ****ed off BT as the TV was shite, and didn’t fancy 52 meg for 33 quid a month.

    Signal wasn’t the best either upstairs in a normal sized valleys terraced house.

    Waiting on a new supplier now for 63meg for £28 a month which is slightly cheaper and slightly faster

    Take any longer though and I’ll be messaging the fella on this thread I forgot all about 😂

    I cant say this strongly enough and some of you should take heed
    you gain nothing as a faithful customer,in fact you are more likely to pay more and get ripped off by the company....shop around play the companies off each other.
    I live in sweden have basic package broadband fiber 150 mbps no TV or mobile 15 quid

    All providers except Virgin use the Openreach network. BT is over priced as there are better options.

    BT, unlimited superfast fibre broadband (78mbps), free evening & weekend calls, BT Sport, BT entertainment plus, Youview box, mobile sim (unlimited calls & texts 4gb data) £44.
    You have to threaten to leave BT then they offer you good deals to keep you.

    I asked to leave and told them they were overpriced.

    Was no fight to keep me and I am yet to receive as much as an email bugging me to stay.

    Happy with that.

    Chuck me one as well please, forgot you were on this MB. If this other company takes any longer I’ll make a move, need it ASAP tbh, but prices speed etc in a PM would be great, thanks.

    I know what you mean. The person at Virgin who I spoke to said I must be delighted, but I said it was more a sense of frustration really that they had been charging me far more than they really needed to and I'd overpaid thousands over the years. Lesson learned - it gets renewed at the end of July every year now!

    Did you upgrade on the Fibre Peajay ? Are you getting a new router?

    That seems excellent. Have you tested the download speed and is it as it should be?
    I ask because I am supposed to have the same dl speed but rarely get above about 35

    Re: Am I Getting A Decent Broadband/Phone Deal?

    Yes I’ve got the fastest fibre as an upgrade, they have said my current router is fine, even though I queried it, I was pacified at that, although they did ask me to contact them if I don’t notice an improvement in my speed,
