How are you paying nothing? I know on there first birthday they were offering 1 years free broadband to a limited amount of customers in there retail stores some time ago

I signed up online via quidco, then I found out about that 12 month free promotion a day later. So I called them and quoted the code and they accepted. So I actually got paid £150 for signing up

Nice one I'm on the £12.50 offer already but thanks for the heads up

Although 'Be' are currently down in Stevenage which is a first in my two years with them

I initially managed to get 2 months free + £12 per month, however their wording was "extend your contract by 12 months".. I now have confirmation I will only be tied into a 12 months contract.. So a great result for me, BE are great and @ £12 a month for BE Unlimited you cant go wrong..

Thanks for the heads up - i've raised a ticket as i'm currently on the £17.50 per mth deal, i've aksed for them to match O2's £12 per mth and 2 mths free/

Raised a ticket yesterday and they have just emailed me back offering 2 months free and to go down to the value package at £13.50 per month. Might as well go for this cos I can only get 5 MB download speeds.

If they can reduce the 17.50 to £12, then surely they can offer you something better on the 13.50 package? Otherwise you will be better off staying on unlimited for £12...

Got it sorted, thanks for the heads up about this deal, very rarely visit the Be forums and so had no idea.

Psypher5 · 27 Aug 2009 at 17:58

im (my parents) are on be value at like 13.50 a month...

if i ask for the aforementioned matching (which matching?) o2 deal + 2 months free i should get be unlimited (24meg?) for 12 a month then?

How should I word this?

Do a draft version in here, obviously excluding personal details... Think of it as a learning exercise

What on earth has happened to their website?

Greenlizard0 · 28 Aug 2009 at 13:06

I can advise you to contact our Cancellation department - 08081013425 , and they can try to make an offer for you , but I do not guarantee for sure

Hmm....

edit double post.

Thanks to this thread guys, i manage to drop my monthly to £10 from £13.50 with first 2 months free on new 12 month contract.Not looking to leave be in near future so I wasn't really bothered about renewing the contract anyway.

Heinz57 · 31 Aug 2009 at 12:31

Thanks guys, managed to get my Be Ultimate package down to £12 p/m for being a 'long standing customer'!

Psypher5 · 31 Aug 2009 at 13:36

they did me a £10 a month offer. Not gonna argue as its for my 'rents anyway

(be value)

DAMN! Just seen this thread. I've been with Be for nearly four years on their Value package, currently paying £13.50 a month. I presume you send tickets via their website?

julianhj · 1 Sep 2009 at 17:25

Well, ticket raised about the Unlimited package for £12. Not holding out any hopes for the two months free though...

i'm on BE - Home ( i take it this is Unlimited ?) - £17.50pm , do you think i should open a ticket?

Definitely!

On a related theme, whilst I'm on an 8 Meg tariff, I ran a speed test a couple of days ago and it came back with nearly 10 Meg! This was early on Sunday morning. I used to struggle to get 5 Meg. Are they free-ing up their bandwith and loosening the restrictions, of is it likely to be a one-off?

julianhj · 2 Sep 2009 at 19:55

Hmmm, well I spoke with some chap on the Indian subcontinent. He said that they could do the £12 Unlimited deal, but I had to sign up for a further 12 months, no two free months. Was a bit sceptical, but went for it anyway. Then he said I could only expect a max of 14 meg, and that it was currently showing 11 meg. Oh, and they could drop me back to Value, but I'd dtill be committed to a further 12 months! I was pretty annoyed that he hadn't mentioned max speed before, as I'd asked a few questions around it. I left it at that, but I wasn't happy...

Last I checked they were in Bulgaria, not India, but yes - you'll only get what your line can do and that's no fault of theirs. Think yourself lucky - I'm on Unlimited and only get 7.5MB (line is capable of more but my router isn't and the O2 box can't do the custom DNS configuration I use).

Missed the free months (and missed out on them when I joined too), but I've already got the £12 deal so it's not all bad.
