Nice one. We got BT broadband for the same price as we were paying sky (which was supposed to include a discount) and BT sport free for 18 months.

Nice one, how much was you paying though, 17 quid a month,  ;D Busby wont be pleased though, lees Bird Seed for Him.

I believe a lot of these Retention Deals are all about who you managed to talk to at the time, Ive been on 50% Airtime discount with Vodafone for a while now, when I did my year moan to the Retention Girl She said "Well you wont be getting that again, 15% is the best I can do for you", left it there, spoke again a few days later with a different Chap, ended up with 75% discount, Better deal plus a free gift if I retain my Business with them.  ;)

BT Line rental should only be £11.99 p/m ???

But Auto Addict said his Broadband was reduced by £16. If that included calls and line rental, fairysnuff. If it's just the broadband bit then ouch.

Put into context, I pay just under £50 for my internet connection and the underlying line it runs over.

I've also heard that FTTP is not coming to this bit of Brakkers, but is available 250 metres away on the new boxes they call houses.

I know its a bit less, but I set up a building to building Wifi link for bro's business, claimed to be AC1200, throughput seems to be approx. 500Mbps, which comes into the category of "adequate" :D.  Though, obviously that has LoS.
