@Mckin123 It really isn't that difficult to get out of a Halo contract once you have come to the end of your present 2 year contract. You call BT and you TELL them to drop you off Halo if it isn't what you want. No ifs, not buts, you're the customer. Be assertive.
You've done your research and you've found broadband cheaper. BT I can probably bet, will not, cannot, match £23 a month for 500mb broadband. So it's up to you, pay double the price and stick with what you know, or make a break.
Often, once you initiate a switch, BT will undoubtedly start calling you with different offers, it just depends on whether you fancy being hounded with loads of phone calls that you are prepared to answer.
You say that swapping ISP every couple of years is a ridiculous way of seeking out cheaper deals? well it really isn't, it just depends on whether you are the sort of person who isn't prepared to put up with all the haggling. Personally, it doesn't bother me, it takes ten minutes if you're on FTTP to switch online and if you're not reliant on BT's email service and you don't need a landline, then it's a quick process that often bags a decent Rewards Card.
Be aware though, you can't swap to EE who are BT, as a new customer, you can't get any rewards incentives because they won't treat you as a new customer. You can however swap to Plusnet and you will be treated as a new customer and you'll remain part of the BT Group of companies. Obviously if you have BT mail, you will have to pay for it if you require Premium at £7.50 a month, or downgrade to Basic for free. Also, Plusnet don't do landlines any more.
At the end of the day, the ball is definitely in your court come renewal time. You can make it as easy or as difficult as you wish.
