XXL package im on

[grove39]

call retentions and they should sort it for you, i actually pay less than you are and i have a phone with them with free eve and weekend calls and 100Mb

[smegal]

is there a direct number i can reach them on, as the automated phone system is something i dispise, i mean my last phonecall lasted in total over 2 hours being transfered from one department to another...then being disconnected a few times.....

really frustrating this experience,

thank you for your response

[grove39]

yep, call 150, then option 5 then option 2, you'll have to wait til the morning now though , i think they open about 8.30 ish

[grove39]

when you call retentions i promise you that you will not have much of a wait until they answer the phone, when you do call it will mention leaving VM just carry on and ignore that.

i'll give them a call tommorow mornining add report back.

ps i think i have to call there main number then option 5 and 2 becuase 150 will put me through to t-mobile on ym mobile

i had the same thing in april and was told that all the prices went up but i was still puzzled and just swapped to the 100mb cuz it was cheaper

This interested me as I am also paying the same. However, I am on the 50Mb XXL and received a letter a while ago saying that I would be upgraded to 120Mb instead of the 100Mb. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this to be because I'm paying the higher price.

Thanks for your post though, I need to consider whether it is worth continuing to pay the extra £2.50 per month until the expected upgrade in my area which is estimated between October 2012 and June 2013 to get 120Mb or save the money and go to 100Mb now.

Basically £10 minimum to see if they hit the early target, argh decisions!

i had the same letter and when i found out i was paying more i asked when i upgraded and they said i still get the 120mb when it rolls out in my area
