Why is nothing ever quite what it seems ?
Last year, my greater than 37Mb/s Fibre Broadband was costing me £35.00/month – that seemed like a good deal, until I checked the price comparison websites and found that ‘brand new customers’ could have the same package for £27.50/month. My contract term had expired so I renewed my contract at the new price of £27.50 (my service provider had, perhaps foolishly, made the promise of always allowing existing customers, under an 18 month contract, to sign up to the best deals on offer) so, feeling pretty smug I was devastated to spot another internet offer, one month later, of the same package for £25.00/month. Having signed up to that, today I found the same package for £22.50/month. They never tell you there is a better offer, it is always up to the customer to discover it.
If this is the way the price structure keeps going, by this time next year they will be paying me to have the fiber broadband connection.
Incidentally it is exactly the same story with my insurance premiums, phone contracts, etc.
Obviously I am getting old but wtf is going on with fair and honest trading and advertising these days ?
