Is it too rude to ask what's the best deal people have got after haggling over the phone.

I'd be very interested to know how you get on busterboy. My contract comes to an end in December.

I will update when I ring them next week.

I go the advertised rate but a £75 cash back to effectively reduce the amount. Just over £50pm for 500mb with free landline calls

Not interested in a landline if I can possibly get a data plan deal only for less money.

We use our mobiles for all calls now and actually took our home phone out over a year ago.

Well after spending what seems like many hours waiting on the phone for a reply each time I tried I took the much easier route of renewing online and settling for what was offered.

Another 24 month contract for a package that suits my needs.
New contract pricing here.

Vodafone is £45 per month.

Too late mate, I just renewed a 24 month contract with BT.

When you renewed online did it give any options for downgrading the package?

Mine is due in March and I am on the 900Mbps package and am looking to probably downgrade but as it stands the only offers I get whilst in contract are for upgrades - wondering if that would change when the contract is coming to an end. Really don't fancy jumping through the hoops of talking to BT on the phone.

Haven't used my home telephone for almost 3 years now as both the wife and I use our mobiles so saved £5 a month for having switched that off for good and using Data only.

I presume in your case it's a long wait on the telephone to speak with retentions as I have been trying for almost a week to get through.

To be honest I have more important things in life to deal with rather than sat for hours waiting in a queue to haggle about a new contract.
