Had them come to my house too, in an area where OpenReach mac speed is 72Mbps. They completely had no idea. I tried wasting their time and eventually told them that their stuff with slow speeds are more expensive than my Virgin at 500mbps.

If your going to call to houses at least know your product and what your selling to potential customers.

Noticed my £25 300 meg with Sky is going up by £3 in April 
can check via the my Sky app > predicted future bills and it’ll show you there.
Why is broadband so expensive?
I don’t live in a city fibre area so really lose out on the cheap deals 
When it comes up to renewal, ask to be put through to ‘retentions’. I went from ‘£35 is the best I can do’ to £23 for 250mb (twice the speed I was getting for £35).
I’m on 900mbps for £29 with Sky. That’s crazy. And I’m rural, nowhere near a city.
As with all things Sky, it’s just how you negotiate that matters. Never just threaten to cancel.

That used to be me when I had to rely on 4G. I was £38 for ~50mbps.
Finally got there with fibre though

That is how Virgin has me. They are the only ones doing anything more than 70Mbps in my area. Few postcodes away about 4 minutes walk, they have OpenReach FTTP.

We are with Virgin and paying £26.32 for M350 and they have actually surprised me with their renewal offer and are saying I can have M500 for £25 pm and as I have 02 this will double to 1Gb. No price rise this April but will go up to £29 in April 27
We can get BT FTTP but this VM offer is tempting as it slightly undercuts the competition

I was thinking Virgin but fairly sure they aren’t in my area.
Been a few years since I was with them, but once you’ve done battle with the retentions team and turned down their offer and given your notice to cancel, a day or two later you’ll get a call from the real retentions team with an even better offer.

This conversation makes me wonder about my giff gaff trial - £15 for 1000/500 but no end point on the contract…

Feel like I’m just gonna be sat with Sky unless I fork out another ee scancom sim and set the Google WiFi kit up again.
£45 300 with EE. I did it for the new routers (I have 4 to help boost signal around a solid walled flat. It still has trouble.
Expensive and impractical
Can you not Ethernet some of it nicely around the place?
eventually I could but it’s the cost and I don’t want wires on show in the meantime.
