well after reveiwing my homechoice bill and seeing im paying around £45 for 8 meg plus line rental plus unlimited calls i decided to give em a ring, cos it seems im being charged for tv channels even though i dont have them.
what happened was back when homechoice released the 8 meg speeds they offered broadband only package to which i switched to straight away.
seems though thats now only available for 2 and 4 meg internet.
i pointed out the fact that for around £30 i can get 8 meg plus line rental plus unlimited calls elsewhere from at least 2 other service providers ( tiscali with BT line and carphone warehouse) and that i was considering leaving homechoice.
This was btw the customer services dept you get put through when you choose the option thinking of leaving homechoice.
Anyway after pointing out that i felt i was being charged to much because i should only be on broadband with no TV, homechoice have given me 4 months for free with just line rental and free anytime calls to pay ( a total of £15 a month compared to the usual £45).
and ive just receieved my first bill showing this reduction too , so sometimes its worth phoning up if you feel your genuinely paying to much.. who kows you may get offered the same reward.
and on a note regarding this its apparantly a 4 month free package that includes ALL the channels even though i dont actually have my STB hooked up to TV but hey if its free im not gonna complain and maybe in 4 months ADSL2 will finally be here
