Hey I know this is max and it might be drivel, but to be fair 3 times now I've posted news on here and you've got it on the front page a few days later. It happens a lot that us out here get wind of things first - so be fair

As I said, this is Max though

Where did you get the figure from? Just from the past? I am sure you are 100% right about the price rise as that's when BT are upping theirs and they have plenty of prep time. But the % figures?

BT Infinity is going up £2.50 a month so based on the £30 a month charge for Inf 2 it's actually 8-9% roughly?

Nothing stopping people saying in private if they want to reveal something interesting, and sources are not revealed

That's true. My source was the Sky website so I guess that's ok

Mine went up by £1, still not over the moon about it, but it could have been worse, the problem is where do you go that is cheaper?
you change provider, you pay the £50 connection fee that seems to be the norm these days that lock you into a long contract and then the provider you have moved to put their prices up and you lose out again. the £50 connection fee sometimes do not make it worthwhile moving.

I do think that BT may find they will lose a few people, I had a phone call yesterday from someone who have been with BT since dial up days and asked me how easy is it to move providers and which would I recommend.
i hate recommending providers, because if it do not work out, they blame me, it have happened.

The cheapest one is vodafone, but it is pretty new and i have not heard good things about them.

Well I am on £48,99 infinity 2 at the moment. If I called me and recommended a provider in the £50-60 range I would suggest AAISP. I could sleep better knowing they would be ok. Also they don't seem to put prices up so clearly they have it right. 12 month contract agreed.

I guess the £50 fee can be worth it if you get with someone like Pulse8 who as you know do no contract. NowTV is also a good choice again because of no contract - there is a £9,99 connection fee which is the cheapest I have seen. The whole package is £29,99 a month for 40/20 or £37 for 80/20

I've not seen a single good thing about Vodafone. I think them and SSE with their free offering are the worst you can get.

It's a really tough call.
