Or BT, that should really annoy them

Or even Sky citing that they are "Free" with any Sky TV package, I'm sure that Plus.net won't be offering a years worth of free broadband in order to prevent the subscriber from moving away..

I would have to say that the Sky MAX package is quite tempting even though it's on LLU.

I've been keeping an eye on Sky (my exchange is due to get LLU'd middle of next year), but I'm very suspicious of "free" anything.... they're usually worth what you pay for 'em

Pipex offered me 3 months free if I stayed with them when I left a couple of years ago. I asked "whats stopping me from leaving after the 3 months?" to be told "the fact you'll be signed up for another 12 months."

So I told em where to stick they're 3 months free. I suspect with Plusnet its gonna tie you into a 50 year contract where it costs you

many of the things that make us think of leaving a company are easily solved

What? like considering migrating from Plusnet to BT ?

lol

It'll be a "take the free month and we'll sign you into a new 50 year "you stay, we pay, deal" , in the small print it'll state something like....

.....in the event of a company take over the amount of funds held against you due to the contract is transfered to a loan company who charge 24% APR over the course of the 50 year period. This amount is payable in full to Plusnet's estates owners at the completion of the 50 year period.

That kind of reminds me of how some shops having signs offering credit only to persons over the age of 100 and being accompanied by both parents..

this is just the kick in the goolies that PN did not need, they were improving in my eyes and now all that work, if BT are going to buy them out is wasted

I believe that these offers are made on an individual basis considering many factors such as length of service, reason for requesting MAC, whether the reason for wanting to leave can be fixed in the near future etc..

I can only tell you of the case that I know and in that case, the offer was made without conditions of any kind and in the belief that the customer's concerns can be sorted in the near future.

I can prove what I have said. Can those that are alleging otherwise provide some evidence to back up the allegations. If not, please cease this FUD.
