Long explanation coming up, so bear with me :)

I am currently with BT ADSL (no fibre here). My ADSL contract expires in 2 weeks time.

I also have BT mobile, as I have both I get the BT mobile SIM only deal a bit cheaper as well. This contract is still in effect until november-ish.

I am paying at the moment:

1. Line Rental at £18.99/month (I use the line rental saver to make it a little cheaper).
2. ADSL Broadband at £10.25/month after discount.
3. BT Mobile SIM-only deal at £8/month (saving £5/month due to being an ADSL customer).

Having just rung BT they have been able to offer me:

12 month contract at £16/month for the ADSL
24 month contract at £10/month for the ADSL.

The price is fine on the 24 month option, but 24 months is a horribly long contract to be in, and I may wish to move in the next couple of years.

I'm considering switching to plus.net for a year instead. They currently have a new customer deal which is:

12 month contract at £20/month, which includes the line rental, and £50 cashback, but I pay £6.99 for P&P of equipment.

This should save me a good deal of cash each month, even if my BT mobile goes up by a fiver a month until I can get a new contract deal on that.

Has anyone switched to plus.net under similar circumstances? How did it go is so? I'd assume the service would be the same as I have now, as BT own plus.net as well.

My BT service has been fine tbh, so no complaints there from me.
 
Caught up to date with this thread, some interesting reading, some good, some bad.

I decided to make the switch anyway, my ADSL is switching over on the 25th.

I am hoping it all just works smoothly and without issue. I have been with BT for around 3-4 years now and never really had a problem.

BT are hiking prices again soon, which is a complete and utter joke. They are ripping customers off so they can pay stupid money for football, whilst I know it's popular, a lot of people don't care for it.

They have frozen line rental increases, but are just increasing everything else instead.
