contract renewall

Hi. My BT contract is soon up and on my webpage it states that I can renew at same price if I do it now. Does that mean if I renew now it won't cost more from March 31st?

Sadly it's a con to get you to commit to another two years

It will certainly increase on March 31st...read the extremely small print

Depends if as a renewing customer you are classed as new or not .

Yet again ill informed & wrong, any renewals or new orders from 1st March will have first increase on 31st March 2027

@Kodikid I have just yesterday received an invite from PN to ‘upgrade’ from my current 500mbps to 900mbps for a quid a month more, but with no price increase until March 27. So what @garybs29 stated, is correct.

As it is, I’ve decided to suck up the £3 a month increase to my current package at the end of this March and complete the second year of the current contract because the offers to new customers after contract end, are almost £10 a month less than I’ll be paying from the end of March. So, as is usual, sit out the two years, ditch and switch.

We’ve discussed this before, but new customers with a new ISP will almost always get a humdinger of a deal over existing customers chancing their arm with their current ISP. I’ve no appetite to sit and listen to some bored out of their mind call centre ‘expert’ attempting to flog me a product they probably know nothing about save for what’s written on a script sheet in front of them.

Yeah for me the £150 gift card and as you say the great savings wipe out any short term gains.

And even with your fancy third party router Kimbo there's little advantage in the real world going from 500mbps to 900mbps anyways

I did exactly this last March and avoided the end of March increase though you are locked in for another two years.
