So I’m sick of my broadband contract with Plusnet ended up significantly more expensive than it was when I signed up with the in contract price rises. So in prep for my contract being up I’m researching broadband providers and wondered if there ones that offer no in contract prices rises like mobile contracts from MVNO’s do?
They would need to provide service via Open reach as that’s the only service available in my area
I don’t know about other providers, but Sky offer you an early exit from your contract if they increase their prices?
That’s a good shout, I’m with Sky for Sky stream. Might see if they can offer me a compelling bundle.
Although, I’m also thinking of dumping Sky stream at renewal and maybe just relying on a Google TV streamer instead.
I saw 1p mobile have a 1p Broadband product now too, looked at GiffGaff, but they aren’t available in my area yet.
I’ve recently switched to Sky broadband and I am waiting for installation.
They offered me a good deal because I’ve been with them a long time, and I have their TV package, so the price they gave me was less than what is advertised.
They use the openreach network too so in terms of speed/quality it shouldn’t be any different from what you have with Plusnet currently.
It’s a bit irritating as the service from Plusnet has been solid. Even when it was copper they were they were good. No down time or issues. Just sick of signing up to a contract and then ending up with significantly higher price because of the in-contract price rises. (I’m aware that it’s made clear at sign up, I’m just hoping that we end up with providers offering no in contract rises like with MVNO’s in the mobile space)
When I first moved here I was with Sky and they were solid too from what I remember. Does sky let you use your own router?
Check Sky VIP as the cheaper offers are there.
Good shout thanks Carlo
Plus topcashback and refer a friend 
Would refer a friend work if I’m existing customer?
My understanding is that it’s service based referral. TV, broadband, calls. Worth a shot 
Yes it does work, I’m not on the other platform so can’t send the scheme but if you find me on instagram 
I had already joined, got my friends refer link and we both still got £50 gift voucher and I got a second £30 gift voucher as I had two products. You use the account number for each.
Stop trying to steal my referral 
I don’t have broadband yet.
I have been using a 5G Router with Unlimited Data. Been fine so far
NR5103E from CEX plus a scancom Three data sim unlimited (500gb cap but I never breached mine) was a great job for me and my usage.
Moved to Sky as there’s two of us now, and have the Three sim in my phone alongside my Tesco sim.
I’ll have to wait a couple of months it seems. I have longer on my contract with PlusNet than I thought. August is the end of the contract. So if I left it would be about £300 quid leaving cost. I think Sky only offer £200 as payment towards your last bill.
Currently, Sky offering the 500 mbps I get with Plusnet at £34.99 for £27 quid a month. They have new subscriber offers at £44 quid a month that would be both the Sky Stream I have now and Broadband. I would try and get them to offer me that or close to that. Last time I got them to give me the Black Friday deal at renewal.
If I could get TV and BB for say £45 quid a month that would be a fair chunk lower than my current costs for both.
I managed to get the 900mbps for £30 per month, so there is potential to get that down further 
This is what I have currently, but I now finally have fibre in my area. I’ve just been waiting 2 months for them to get permission to dig and lay the cable. Seems like I’m finally getting there and will have it installed by the end of the month 
I cant wait to have proper internet again!
There’s a new subscriber offer for £50 quid a month for Sky Stream + Netflix standard and 900mbps BB. I do find Sky are generally a bit easier to negotiate with compared to some others. I remember when I was about to go out of contract with EE they basically said “We don’t care how long you’ve been with us. These are the offers take em or leave em.”
I was looking at EE (even tho I have an irrational dislike of them) and they want £75 a month for the same you’d get off Sky!
I’ve never paid full price for my Sky services, as you say, they’re great for negotiating and it’s largely why I’ve been with them for over 20 years.
I pay £4 a month for the premium Netflix package through them. I have the next 6 months of Sky movies for free, and various other discounts too. All they want in return is to lock you into a contract. I therefore set a reminder in my phone and the day before it expires, I call them up and ask what they can offer me if I commit to another one.
Rinse and repeat 
Looking to change my broadband. We are with BT and the renewal is quite expensive (£45) for their 900Mbps plan. Same plan for new customers is £35 so could probably get it down to that price.
Virgin is a no go for us, terrible experience with them.
Any recommendations for broadband deals? Vodafone Full Fibre 910 is £31pm + £130 voucher from Uswitch (+ £51 if going to Uswitch via TCB?)
We have Hyperoptic and you can negotiate with them each renewal. Pay £20/mth for 500MBs up and down.
