Contract renewal confusion

[xmarksthespot]

I got an email that says my broadband is due for renewal in December.

Called BT - agent said that Fibre 1 would be 31.99/month less £8 discount. Then 19.99 for line rental saver would be taken off this (I renew line rental annually in January).

I then go on my bt and it says Fibre 1 £8. But I'm confused by the additional prices cut and paste from the online info:

Fibre 1Find out more

Broadband with Line Rental Saver

You already have Line Rental Saver so no additional line rental charge will apply.

Can anyone actually tell me what I'm getting for the £8 - and what is the £27.99 / month referred to? I am left with no idea as to how much it costs.

The 27.99 includes line rental & when the 19.99 is taken off it is £8 so it's just the same package, nothing different

Sorry, I'm still confused when you say "same package, nothing different".

As far as I can see there is the same Fibre 1 package but being offered at two different prices?

So, on the phone I'm offered £4 net? (i.e. 31.99 gross minus £8 discount minus £19.99 line rental).

On MYBT I'm offered £8 net? (i.e. 35.99 minus £8 discount minus £19.99 rental).

Have I understood correctly?

You're right, the 27.99 (8) is the usual new customer deal so the other 23.99 (4) one must be a deal on the phone. They're both exacrly the same package
