If you are with BT for your broadband, how much are you paying per month?

[DreamingOfSoftWhiteSand]

I WFH so need fast, reliable, broadband. We are currently with BT and pay just under £40/month. This is just for broadband and a landline that we don't even use. We don't have BT for our mobile phones, we don't have BT sport, or anything else.

If you are with BT, how much do you pay and what package do you have? Surely we are paying too much for what we are getting?

£65. I've neglected the contact for years and it's on my to-do list to sort out this month.

£45 full fibre 900mb speeds with halo 3, included in the price is xbox game pass and Netflix hd subscription. (They are free with the package)

Ours has just come out today and was £69.59 for phone (never used) wifi and BT Sport.

£69.59 is quite frankly a ridiculous price, but I do WFH full time and we have excellent Wifi.

£27.99 broadband and maybe a landline. Not sure. Just told them I was leaving and voila. 50% off my bill

Same here, but with both of us wfh permanently we can’t afford to switch to something that might not be as reliable, so I’m loath to mess with it.

£42.99 full fibre halo 500mb with VOIP Alexa phone with Xbox games pass but we haven't used that

£82 per month - and we never use the landline that comes with it. It is a ridiculous amount of money and probably we should try and reduce it but it is fast and reliable

I think the new full fibre contract is generally about £40-£45 for 500/900mb speeds, you can get cheaper but you have to strike lucky or be a new customer

I was paying £42 per month for Broadband and phone (don't even have a phone to plug in never mind use one) Once the contract ended switched to Sky now pay £25 per month for just the same and got £100 giftcard for switching.

What speeds have you got OP with your package?

Way too much. I think about £69 for internet, a landline we don’t use and NowTV and Netflix.
We recently moved house and they were utterly useless. They supposedly booked the engineer for the day after we moved but then he didn’t arrive for another 10 days. They sent our new hub plus a dongle for us to use until we were connected to our old house despite me triple checking with them as they did exactly the same to my parents when they moved. Honestly I wish the Wi-Fi wasn’t so good as I’d love to switch to someone else but frankly it’s the strongest we’ve had.

£28pm for BT Fibre 2 - 74mb I think. moving house soon so I need to see if it’s still the cheapest.
People paying £50 plus do you get TV channels with that or is it way faster? We never have issues with the speed of ours.

We get 59.3Mbps download and 12.0Mbps upload

I am amazed to see we are paying less than most. How is it possible that in this day and age BT can hold us to ransom because it's the only company to offer fast and reliable broadband?

£44.09 for Fibre 2 plus landline. No inclusive calls though, we pay for those if we make any (we don't).

£33 for fibre 100

Not Fibre 100, it's the top speed Fibre whatever it's called. It's a price they no longer do, was a special offer

This ...

£65. I've neglected the contact for years and it's on my to-do list to sort out this month.

And this ...

but I do WFH full time and we have excellent Wifi.

(Although maybe 'good wifi' rather than 'excellent')

I am normally really good at re-negotiating contracts, but I have a blind spot for BT and Sky.

Just looked at the new deals, and they don't really seem any cheaper. Sigh, I really should build myself up to it - it is ridiculous.

We used to pay £32.99 for fibre 1 (FTTC) which was about 35/8Mbps speeds, that was the maximum we could get, we then got FTTP up our street so got sent different contracts for upgrading to that so decided to pay the £10 per month extra for the 500Mbps

We pay something like £38 pm for full fibre and landline incl a call allowance because the mobile signal here is shite so we need it. That's an introductory deal.

I'm very pleased with the reliability and when the contract is up I'm going to research prices to change to others then phone BT and see what they offer to stay.

I did that twice with Virgin before we moved to BT but the service deteriorated so much I wasn't willing to commit to them any longer.

As always, I'd have a look at Moneysaving Expert to see what deals are available and tips on haggling/switching to get a better deal.

I've just called and renewed after this thread, £21 per month for 3 months then £56.99 for phone, Full fibre 100 wifi which will apparently be super fabulous compared to the (already really good) wifi that I currently have plus BT Sport which we use a lot.

So pretty much back to the price that we were paying before we came out of contract, but with better stuff, apparently.

I’ve just renewed at £36.50 a month. fibre 2 for 2 years. I couldn’t get a broadband only package, and they’ve actually gone so far as to send me a ‘free’ phone, whether that’s to encourage landline use I don’t know. The broadband is rock solid, though, it wouldn’t occur to me to change provider.

Sadly I’ve never got very far with haggling with BT. We threatened to leave a while back and they couldn’t care less.

The phone is one that works on the broadband not normal landline. It also has Alexa but we've never set up or used that feature.

Our deal was £30 for broadband only, an extra fiver for the landline incl the free phone, then an extra £2.50 pm for a few hundred minutes of calls. The pricing on the calls meant that you only had to make a couple of fairly short calls a month for it to cost more than £2.50 anyway, so seemed worth paying the extra so we didn't get hit with a massive bill when calling someone for a chat or being on hold to the insurance company for ages or whatever.

We switched recently to the Full Fibre 100 broadband plus landline with 700 call minutes, it's £42 per month for 24 months (includes £8 discount).

DC and DH both reckon that it's noticeably faster for gaming and working than our old broadband, and it was slightly cheaper than paying for a landline and separate broadband.
