Thinking about cancelling my Sky internet monthly debit

I’ve been with Plusnet ever since the ZX Spectrum was invented. They are great.

What modem speed did you have in the 1980s? The Internet was very different back then.

It depended on whether or not jackdaws had fowled the intake pipe or not.

I wish I'd photographed or even kept my 1980's Internet tech but you never do photograph or keep things with the future in mind. Bit like tech at the moment which will seem rather antique in another 30-40 years time.

Never had a problem with BT and when an engineer has visited the service has been top quality.

Been with Sky for a year now without a single glitch.

If you have online banking cancelling a DD takes 10 seconds at most.

Back online now folks. I went out this aft',so how the connection was I don;'t know. I have noticed one thing. It seems to be worse on Sundays than other days,if that's possible.

Another vote for Zen Internet here, if you choose to swap. Very good customer service and excellent at dealing with Openeeach when need arises. Thirty odd quid a month phone and net.

I pay about 32 quid a month for phone and internet.. When I say about ,it's because some months they've taken 40 quid out. Some have told me I pay too much,but if you're paying the same as me then I suppose it's about right.

I'm paying about £17 to Plusnet. That doesn't include free calls and call charges are high, but I don't use my landline for outgoing calls.

Oh, thinking about it - that includes a couple of monthly discounts for recommending other users. For every person who you sign up you can get a discount for as long as they use Plusnet. If you signed up enough people (the number depends on what they sign up for), you wouldn't have to pay anything!

I probably make about 3 or 4 landline calls a month,so the Plusnet deal sounds better for me.

I just checked the new referral rates and they look a lot lower than they used to be! Still, if you sign up and want to do me a favour let me know, and you'll save me a pound or so a month ...

You should get a discounted rate as a new customer. Make a note of when that contract is up because they hike the price after that. Both times they did that to me, I used their chat system to tell them that I wanted to renew at my old rate or I'd go to TalkTalk. They immediately cut the price down again and I signed up for another 18 months at that price.

Oh, and you can get a pretty good mobile deal from them too, but I am sticking to Giffgaff because I get free calls and texts to many of my family and friends.

There are cheaper deals to be had. Plusnet e.g.. I need a reliable connection for business, and have never had anything more than twenty minutes outage in eleven years. My only reservation is the Lancastrian call centre, but, as a Yorkshireman, I can fathom most of what they say if they talk slowly....

Sheffield and Leeds.
Both in the West Riding.

Accy doesn't like call centre queues. I suffered a call centre queue first time round, but this time I went through their online chat box and it was perfectly straightforward and much quicker.
