Topic: Getting rid of Plusnet

[Clive]

My plusnet ISP has rocketed in price from £23 a month to £35 a month.  How I wish I hadn't been lured in by their offer.  I plan to cancel it before the renewal date and it wouldn't bother me too much if I didn't have internet or phone in that apartment.  Does anyone know if a phone is mandatory in this day and age and is there a cheap and basic ISP available?

[Simon]

I guess it depends on what services are already plumbed in to the flat.  If there's always a BT phone line, maybe BT's basic package might suffice?

[Clive]

I've just thrown up thanks to you mentioning that filthy word'   

[Simon]

But PlusNet have been part of BT for years!

I'd suggest ringing PlusNet and threaten to leave, then see what kind of deal they offer you. 

[Clive]

We plan to sell the flat anyway Simon because of the double council tax on two properties that comes in next year. 

[Simon]

Oh, really?  Not being one of the privileged with two properties, I wouldn't have known about that. 

[Clive]

I couldn't afford to do it in Brighton!   

[Clive]

I'd forgotten that poor people exist.   

[Simon]

Yeah, there's quite a few of us peasants who have to make do with only one property. 

[Clive]

I really had no idea.
