I am not too sure until the next bill. I pay £50 odd now including line rental and the only thing different is the fibre. I think it was about £6 more a month, I was not paying attention to Miss India in the call centre and zoned out :lol:

My package Unlimited Broadband with BT Infinity 1, Unlimited usage, up to 52Mb download speed, Unlimited BT Wi-fi minutes, Online storage with BT Cloud, BT Parental Controls & BT Web Protect. We set the parental control on when the grandchildren are here.

I will let you know what the new amount is when I get billed next?

£ 50 a month for not much more than I'm getting ? (I can also get parental controls and stuff but have no children...

Sounds like you have a 40/10 tariff( and are probably quite near to the street cabinet). It's true that Broadband does take time to "settle", but can go up as well as down!
When all you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail.

I got my first new bill. I think because I signed fro 24 months I get a discount for the 2 years. The bill was £35 including line rental and all the other stuff. So in fact it is faster and cheaper? Shirley something wrong here :lol:
