EE Broadband price rise.

[The Natural Philosopher]

No price change on my ISP yet.

[Mark Carver]

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 ?

[Mark Carver]

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

[Jeff Layman]

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.

[Mark Carver]

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

[Rod Speed]

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.

[Rod Speed]

The real world.

Ours don't.

[Mike Rogers]

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

Mike

[Andy Burns]

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

[Tim Streater]

Thass not what he said.

[Andy Burns]

So what do you think he's saying?

[RJH]

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

Trebles all round :-)

[Tim Streater]

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

[Mark Carver]

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 ?

[Tim Streater]

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

Have they been nagging you about closing the service?

[Andy Burns]

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

[Tim Streater]

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.
