TBH , its not really equitable to compare a ‘standard’ broadband connection from another provider , which is probably what your ‘counterparts’ have , with what you have with Halo 3+ , if you had taken the equivalent ‘standard’ BT broadband the price would be much closer to what they pay .
It could also be the case that you don’t need the bells and whistles that come with the Halo package, and that’s why you feel you are overpaying , perhaps because you haven’t had to use them you don’t see these as benefits worth paying for , especially as some are only accessible if you also have a BT Mobile mobile phone .
If you had doubts about the Halo package you signed up to , then during the 14 day cooling off period would have be the obvious time to reconsider and change it to something more appropriate , presumably you signed up to this some considerable time ago , and are way past the point of cancellation without penalty, if the early termination charges are what you state you may well still have possibly a year left on a two year minimum deal.
It really is a case if ‘Caveat Emptor’ , the list of benefits on Halo are quite extensive, but many are based on maintaining connectivity should the ‘landline’ broadband service fall over, if it hasn’t fallen over , then it may seem like an unnecessary expense, but most ‘insurance’ is never claimed against , some of the other benefits , like the home visit to optimise your setup and whole home WiFi are also subjective, some may consider it worthwhile, others may not, if you were never bothered ( and certainly didn’t want to pay extra to mitigate ) about the prospect of potentially being off line a short while during a landline fault , didn’t need a BT tech to visit your home , and the standard wifi coverage would have been adequate, then Halo was probably never the appropriate choice
