EE only have a ‘network’ in regard to ‘mobile’ communications, so I don’t understand your statement,
Open Reach Engineer was unable to satisfactorily access the EE network to deal with my old wall master socket as it was not compatible….also what’s this got to do with BT Consumer ?
Unless you are joining VM or an Alternative Network, not much would change using a different ISP on Openreach network, obviously items within the ‘gift’ of the ISP will vary ( customer service, pricing , etc ) .
As already stated, especially with email, at least your current provider maintains a rudimentary email service for ‘ex’ customers, many ( the majority ) simply delete your email account once you leave ,
TBH , most mainstream ISP’s build in an automatic inflation based increase , I’m somewhat perplexed by those that laud ISP with ‘no increases inside your minimum term’ as somehow being ‘fair’ to the consumer, they overlook the undeniable fact that ( especially in periods of ‘high’ inflation ) that they must be overcharging at the start of the term , so that by the end of the term they are still profitable, if these were companies that have only a tiny margin at the start of the minimum, guarantee no price increases , but have their own costs increase , they won’t stay in business very long , or are loading the front end of the contract….ISP are not ‘non profit’ or charitable organisations,
….they may of course be backed by hedge funds , or equally unsatisfactory foreign investors that will loose money on each new customer to gain market share , funny , the regulator doesn’t allow predatory pricing by BT , you may argue from a consumer point of view ‘so what, I’m saving money ‘ but shouldn’t all companies in the same industry have to follow the same rules ?
Anyway , don’t let the door hit you on the way out , hopefully whatever company you do select , doesn’t let you down .
