BT Price Increase

It appears that BT are about to up the price of their broadband again. Price increase is due to arrive in January.

So as soon as I get the price increase letter I will be cancelling completely.  Now all I have to do is find a mobile phone sim only deal. Perhaps Virgin is the way to go.

Update Late November. It appears that BT don’t know the rules and have sent me a bill for cancelling all my services. Will be having an interesting conversation on the subject soon.

 

So update on the 26th of January, received a final notice for payment of my termination fees. So finally got around to calling their billing department and explaining. After 20 minutes on the phone they are sending me a cheque for £11.00.
