Out of Contract

[Chromedome73]

Hi,

I'm out of contract & on Fibre 2 @ £45 per month getting about 70-75 Mbps

I'm looking to save a bit of money & Virgin offer 108Mbps (this is both with w/end calls)

Would I be able to get my BT close to the Virgin price?

I know no ISP is perfect & Virgin seem to have their fair share of bad reviews,and tbh never really had an issue with BT

So what to do? and how to go about it?

Cheers

Call 150 & select the option for leaving BT & see what they offer. It will be a complete lottery as to who answers the phone & what they offer. Current Fibre 1 price for a new customer is £33 pm. If you are offered a deal, make sure that the impending price rise is included.

Sometimes the only way to get a deal is to place an order with another provider & then wait for a call that may or may not come.

So by the sounds of that its going to be a No, if its dearer for a lower package.

I will ring just to make sure though

Also factor in possible cashback for moving supplier. Looks like there's £100+ available for that Virgin package.

Bizarrely BT will often say they can't price match, happily see you walk away & then pay you cashback to return next time. It's an an odd business model but then much of BT is equally bizarre.

If you don't know about cashback, drop me a PM.

Last year I managed to get fibre 2 for the price of fibre 1 as it was priced then. Only after I told them I had been looking elsewhere for my fibre and was going to switch and was put though to another person who was a sort of supervisor and got fibre 2 for the price of fibre 1.

Member if you get a good BT deal the now your price per month will still go up come 31st March. So I would as what the deal price would be after the price rise. If they offer you the deal.

I know a few people that have Virgin and love the service but say the Virgin customer service is a hit or a miss depending who you get on the phone.
