Paul, exactly the offer I got. 2 V6 and an old Tivo. Minor increase on the £102 I was paying last year, but significantly less than the £150 they tried to charge three years ago for much less service.

they offered me 3 v6
What are people paying for 100bb only?
I was previously on £24.50 a month, they would always offer a good discount on calling up but they won't budge from £30 a month now.
Can easily sign up on wife's name, plenty of offers at £24/ £25 through uSwitch and cable.co.uk

Just cancel, and wait a few days they will call you, don't accept anything less than the price a new customer gets plus some bill credit. Otherwise if you live with another adult, cancel your services and sign up in a new name, at the same address and get the cashback, bill credits and cheap monthly price.

does the name change definitely work
Soldato
Yes, since it is a different person under a different credit agreement. What I'd say though is, you'll find once you give them the 30 days notice you'll get nagged to death to stay, just stand your ground and tell them what you'll get as a 'valued' new customer rather than sticking around. They'll sort something out, and if not you just sign up and have it reactivated after a couple of days under the new account, with stacks of cashback and bill credits etc.

I cannot do without tv or broadband for a few days

As I said they'll call you so it won't get to that. You can always cancel your cancellation, if you can't get a deal you like.

You'd lose the cashback by calling but you could ask for bill credit maybe

could I place the order like normal then contact them and ask them to add the third box just before the installation date

Something you'd have to risk imo

ok thanks

Thought I'd update peeps on my outcome.
As I predicted, no one called me back after cancelling. Ended up calling two days before being disconnected asking if they definitely can't do anything. Offered £51, was £67,
Not to bad a result I guess, but I knew they'd call my bluff!
