I'm considering switching to another ISP.
In March I emailed "Daniel Potts" and my monthly bill was reduced from £80 to £40 per month for same service, but had to sign an 18-month contract. Since then, it has mostly been off than on.
A neighbour has received an email saying that he does not have to pay an early disconnection fee.
I asked in June how much mine would be and was told £280
September-10 I asked, and it has risen to £570!!!
How is this worked out. I downloaded the document below, but it doesn't match either of these figures.
The agent said each person's is worked out individually.
can anyone tell me the correct fee and if I can get a discount. I have been a loyal customer since 2009

Refer here

and the section
If your current contract with us started prior to 4th April 2023, any Early Disconnection Fee will be capped at £288 (includes VAT). If you are a new or recontracting customer on or after 4 April 2023, this cap does not apply.

I got the letter saying no fee payable. After an hour on the 150 call that dropped multiple times they have now said I don't have to pay and send me emails saying Goodbye.
Sales rang me today with some fantastic offers. I politely said I wasn't interested and already had a new provider.
