Price increase if your out of contract with all inclusive calls

Think you all should know if your on a contract for broadband with free all inclusive calls and it's due for renewal now have dropped the all inclusive calls package you now have to pay extra for calls so read your contact fully when they send you a renewal invite .

It will depend on what you are notified individually when your contract ends. Although I am not surprised that they may be gradually hiking the cost of their packages upwards.

NOW are increasing their broadband prices, and just noticed an ad. on tv that SKY are offering theirs at half price. My brain didnt switch on quick enough to get all the detail.

I sort of get the feeling that SKY are looking to draw customers away from NOW. If that is true then it begs the question regarding the future for NOW.

I saw the whole advert, and it’s half price for a while, £17, and then back to £34. So Now, changing along at £25 or so, will be back to breakeven after another 6 months.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

Thanks for the info. Roy.

'And it asks the question, not begs it, by the way'   Now I is just a country boy, but I am not too old to learn something. 😀

I still like "it begs the question" rather than your version though.😀

"Begs the question" is a phrase that refers to a fallacy in reasoning, but it has been misused for the past several years to the point that it may have taken on an additional meaning. Here I clarify the fallacy and provide an example. By Dr. Gordon Pettit; subscribe @gordonpettit; see more at ...

Sky Stream has had that option ever since launch. Similar principle i.e. a streaming service, but only available via their dedicated devices. And at higher prices. I think I'll wait.

And at least Now don’t ask for their sticks back if you cancel 😛
