hey are any of you guys on bt atm i pay £12 line rental and then £24 Broadband every month but then every 3rd month i get rental charges of £63 plus my fone bill if i have one do any of you guys no what the rental charges are for? have just updated to day to a new 18 month contract which meens i get the first 6 months of payments for the broadband taken care of so only got to pay £12 for 6 months but i still do no understand were there charge comes from

just been loking at sky bt and thinking this mite be a cheaper option all toghter have any of you guys gone from bt to sky for broandband and fone etc i currently have sky+hd so should not be hard to change

so the biggy do i stay with bt or go over to sky for everythink

 

The rental charges are for the upkeep of your line/exchange (bloody rip off IMO) How much do u use your home phone? The rental (non paper bill) should be £10.50 a month.

As BT will take a considerable amount more by default to cover their arse... If your account is in credit after 4 months you can ask then to either 1. rebate your money or 2. take a payment break.

 

o right it is a fucking rip off lol ill tell you that much and not that much at all to fone a few jobs or g/f uses it at nite to ring her mum etc but its free at nite lol

 

go to sky, faster install, connection, better service and cheaper.
cancel that bt now

if they start kicking up a stink let me know and i'll send you the cheif exec's email and phone number, gets stuff done within mins!

 

If you go with Sky you still have to pay for the BT line rental. Virgin is where it's at, and where I'll be going soon.

 

I pay £24 for Virgin, thats for my land line, tv and broadband. ANd i have a 'special' box which means i get every single channel possible.

sky rental £10 per month

 

Good luck trying to tell BT that you want to leave. In my experience they're a bunch of retards who ironically have the worst internal communication of any company ever. I will never, ever use their services again.

 

In-fucking-deed!

My contract with BT ends on July 28th, I'll be moving my broadband over to sky

This lovely lady at BT (maybe the only one in my painful experience with them) was very helpful to me. got my £600 back within 20 mins and did what she said she would

 

i had to pay bt an cancellation fee when i moved to sky but if u ring bt, before u change over to sky sayin ur leavin the country or along those lines they dont charge u i payed 14.95 then plus the phone bill to bt now i pay 10.00 plus phone bill to sky for more like free weekends an nights

 

virgin is sadly out i am 9 doors out of there range rang sky up yester day and spoke to them but i have got to find out my bt number for the broadband as i have two number and only know the one not that i even use house fone any way bt have offerd me 6 months free on my broadband so only got pay line rental for 6 months and then will go back to normal which aint to bad as i am out of work and its the g/f who is paying eveythink but sadly that leave her with hardly anythink god i need a new job lol

 

Same here i have used BT twice now and will never ever use them again. The 1st time i used them they somehow set up 2 accounts for me, one got paid and obviously one didn't so every 5 weeks i got cut off. After 8 months of phone calls they discovered the problem

I started with them a 3rd time as i needed an active bt line to move to another provider so i'm with tiscali now but i may move to sky when my contract ends. At the time sky didn't have equipment in the nearest exchange so i would still have to pay bt line rental.

Bt customer service was only ever surpassed by NTL years ago!

 

thats naughty!
