EE Broadband price rise.

No price change on my ISP yet.

Yes, though Zen are reassuringly 'a bit expensive'.

Over the last 5 years I've spent about 130 quid with Plusnet for my

80/20 FTTC connection

What has your Zen account cost you over that same period ?

Make that [130x12] = £1560  (forgot to multiply by 12 !)

I've only had it just over 3 years (having moved up from copper). The latter was £21.40 a month, and the move to FTTC only increased it to £22.00. So, pro-rata for 5 years FTTC would have been £1320. That's only for broadband though - my phone is BT.

Ah, well my Plusnet figure is broadband _and_ phone line rental

Nope, no pegging at all and mine hasn't changed in a decade and has always been the cheapest available.

Our ISP prices arent regulated by anyone and are much cheaper than yours.

Corse we do.

The real world.

Ours don't.

That percentage is what they are increasing by on top of inflation. My Plusnet is increasing by 14.17%!

Mike

14% + inflation (whether CPI or RPI)? I don't think so!

So what do you think he's saying?

Try O2 - April increase of 13.4% RPI plus a contractual 3.9%.

Trebles all round :-)

I took it to mean that RPI/CPI + 3.97 => 14.1

In total yes, exactly the same as my Plusnet increase (to two decimal places!)

So presumably Plusnet have taken a figure of (14.17-3.9)= 10.27% as the CPI figure ?

On John Lewis here. I expect that's what mine will be, then.

Have they been nagging you about closing the service?

so did I, so it's including inflation, not on top of inflation

Some time ago (a few months), yes. And Plusnet didn't seem to be including email in the offerings when, straight after JL's nagging, I checked.
