It's actually cheaper to get BB with a phone line, and just simply don't plug in a phone..

I have asked many times to have my line disconnected as I don't use it, but they said the price would go up - I just continue not having a phone plugged in...

I recently got an email saying mine was going up by 2.50 - and soon, they are due to upgrade everyone's speed, so once mine gets upgraded, i'll phone up and drop back down 1 step (back to what i'm on now) and end up paying less than I was previously!

Well when they gave that 200mbps i told them it wont work for me,but i got it anyway told them i want to drop down on speed,but they said i could not do it,so how do you get to drop back GHOZER,

You just phone them up, saying you're trying to cut down your monthly bills a little, and that you don't need the speed you have at the moment, and a lower package would be better... they cannot refuse if you wish to down-grade.

Interesting how they don't force this price increase on businesses.

Business rates raise also, but usually at a different time!

You will rarely get full speed on WiFi - there are so many factors to consider, the ONLY way anyone will garuntee full speed is when plugged in...
