No free speed upgrades for existing customers?

As per my other post, I had Hyperoptic installed last month.

Imagine my pleasant surprise to read that

UK ISP Hyperoptic, which is rolling out a 1Gbps Fibre-to-the-Building (FTTP/B) broadband network in 28 UK cities and towns, has announced that their 20Mbps and 100Mbps packages will from tomorrow see a free 50% speed boost.

However, unlike other ISPs (BT, Virgin etc), it seems that Hyperoptic are not upgrading existing customers to these new speeds automatically - have to say this is quite disappointing and as an ex-Be Broadband customer not the type of behavior I expected from Hyperoptic.

Correct, Hyperoptic appear to be trying to mislead customers again.

For me, it's a price increase if I wanted the "free speed boost".

Hi there, we'd love to help you get the most out of our broadband service. We'll gladly sign you up for 12 months with our new speeds. We'd make sure to get you the same price you're currently paying or even a better one. For more details and to be able to provide you the most precise info, please contact us on 0333 332 1111, [email protected] or via Twitter using @HyperopticCS. Thanks.

I was offered it for a higher price than my current deal, so not quite true.

That's not what we like to hear. Please contact us to check this for you, we'll do our best to make things right. Thanks in advance.

Still pretty nasty to force us in another 12month contract. Not what i like to hear from a company that i was able to defend as a beacon of good CS vs most other firms.

Are CS briefed they should at least give the same package when we contact them ?

Hi there, the contract is being renewed since the service you're subscribed to and which we oblige to provide changes with the package change, so we need to make sure that the contract reflects that. When you contact us about the free speed upgrade, our lovely CS team is able to provide you the same or even better monthly price. You start getting higher broadband speed shortly after contacting the team. Let us know if you have any other questions, we'll gladly respond. Thanks.
