renew broadband

[fed+up+with]

Have now phoned 3 times to renew contract.

£45 for superfast broadband NO THANKS.

Go on internet and i can get 3 times the speed for half that.

Why after 25 years are SKY willing to let me leave because they cant match the offers online.

Got cut off 3 times and no one calls back so guess its goodbye.

Will also ditch phone and TV when contracts are up.

NOT happy.

Ultrafast speed for £20 is likely to come from an altnet ISP which is laying its own private optical cable in a limited geographical area using startup finance and venture capital.  No Openreach ISP can compete financially with such operations, nor do they attempt to do so.

Now full fibre 100 mbps £25.00.

I am in the same boat. Been with sky for 16 years,  broadband is going from 24 a month 62.00 a month. I said i can go to Vodafone for 24.00 a month. 

The lady replied I can't match that and I am free to leave ???

I can't believe they are not wanting to keep customers,  seems strange.  

I work in sales myself and if my boss heard me saying to a customer I would be fired.  

Such ashame I did like sky but looks like Vodafone will have my business now and mobile too.  Tv package finishes in summer and will cancel that now.

The Vodafone price you're seeing is a new customer price. You're not a new customer to Sky so if you move to another provider the same will happen in 24 months when your new customer discounts end.
