Plusnet leave me no alternative

The discount on my current monthly legacy package with PN soon ends and from a financial view it makes sense to change to a new package. PN advertise a package £4.99 for 9 months rising to £9.99, plus £25 cashback, free router, etc. No mention of contract length. As an existing customer all they are offering me is £9.99 for 12 months. No cashback or anything. I can get it cheaper for a 24 month contract but do not wish to tie in for that long.

This despicable behaviour now seems to be prevalent among most utility providers who do not value customer loyalty. They think that inertia will prevent most customers leaving.

I feel that I am being forced away from an ISP with whom I am very satisfied. Please Plusnet, take some notice of your existing loyal customers!

It's a 12 month contract and is dependent on you taking our phone service.

We'd never give cashback as part of a retention offer or re-contracting. Is your phone service with us? Where it is I've known us to honour the half price subscription in the past.

Hope it goes well.

Best regards,

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I am with PN for phone and boadband. Honouring the half price offer would be great. I wait to hear a favourable response as I really do not want to leave PN.

The key difference being you are committing to another 12 month contract rather than being on a pure notice period option.
