change my contract of Broadband

hwaish — Sun, 02 Jun 2024 11:53:45 GMT

Dear Friend

I am long standing customer for the BT which until 31/3/2024 was paying £53 / month for both landline and broad band. However, on the above date I have spoken to your representative about stopping the land line as I don’t using it on regular basis which he explained to me the status of my bill for Broadband as following (that I was paying £28.96 / month for Broadband and if I stop the land line then increase of my monthly Broadband by £4 to become £32.62 / month and because the starting date after 1/4/2024 then the bill will increase by 3.9% to become £35/month and ask me if I am happy with these changes and I accept the offer). I have received email of the summer of the contract which clearly confirmed my monthly charge will £35/ month in two confirming places of this email. However, my first bill after this contact was £53.99. Therefore, I have tried to contact you few times and each time open case you close it without even inform the results until I recall you to find out. In each of my calls your representative does understand my concern of the changing the price by you but after long discussions on both calls the put case on review and to go back to you they said there was no clear outcome. As a customer right I am looking for both sides you and me to respect the contract for 24 month as clearly explained by you contract summery. I had accepted these contract conditions and you are obliged to provide me the promised contract we both agreed with (please listen to the conversation between your in charge representative where I changed my previous contract to the new one based on his explanation and the email I received on 30/3/2024) as it was no sense for me to accept the price of broadband for the same price previously on for both broadband and landline at the same time. I would like to investigate and listen to the mentioned conversation as by the customer right to get all information and contract clear and very clear to reach the correct agreement

please find my contract summery

Your broadband contract is for 24 months.

After this, you'll move to a 30-day rolling contract until you give us notice to leave or sign up to a new contract.

The minimum term begins when your service starts as set out in our terms and conditions.

You can end the service as set out in our terms and conditions. Unless stated otherwise, you'll normally need to give us 30 days' notice.

If you stop your services within your minimum term, you might have to pay early termination charges. However, if you cancel because we've made changes to your services, these charges may not apply.

If you have more than one product with us, the contracts may be linked. In some situations, if you can cancel one without early termination charges, you may be able to cancel other linked contracts as well.

If you end a service, you must return any loaned equipment within 60 days. If you don't, you'll be charged.

How we calculate the early termination fee
The fee is calculated as the total remaining monthly charges until the end of your minimum period, minus the costs we save for you leaving early and a 1% discount.

For example, if you have four months left and you pay £35 a month, the cancellation fee would be £67.32.

Please visit our Leaving BT page for a further explanation on how we calculate the cancellation fee.

Service characteristics

Broadband speeds

We predict you'll get the following speeds:

Your estimated download speed: 49-55 Mbps

Your estimated upload speed: 16-18 Mbps

Your Stay Fast download speed: 45 Mbps

Stay Fast Guarantee
All broadband packages come with a Stay Fast download speed guarantee that's personalised to your home. We promise you'll get the speed all day every day, or we give you a £20 BT Rewards card. With up to four claims a year.

Your speed may be lower than your estimate. It can be affected by using a wireless connection, and the number of devices connected to it, especially at peak times. You can check your speed using the My BT app, online or by calling us on 0330 1234 150. If after 30 days we can't get you back to the speed we promised, you can leave your contract without penalty.

The Stay Fast Guarantee is only applicable for your fixed line broadband and doesn't cover your 4G or Hybrid Connection. It also excludes outages, connection faults and home wiring outside of BT's control.

Find out more about your Stay Fast Guarantee and how to check your speeds.

Our broadband packages don't have any speed restrictions. Learn more about our approach to traffic management.

It's important to know that the speed ranges we show are estimates. Your actual speed depends on your location, line, home wiring, Wi-Fi connection and time of day.

Possible impacts to your broadband speeds
Delays or interruptions in the transmission of data or packet loss, may result in your broadband running slowly or web pages not loading.

If there's packet loss or a delay in broadband data transfer, then you may find certain applications have a brief interruption of video and audio. This can also affect the time it takes to complete a task, like downloading a track.
