Moving broadband

[GSPmad]

Sorry, am sure I posted before but ca’t remember where, and have something else I want to ask. It appears my B\B provider is going to charge me £60  😮 😮 😮 to transfer my B\B. Can they do this? I am very not amused.  >:( I thought these things were free to move – or just an admin charge.  :-\

I think it depends whether you are still under contract with them – it probably says it in the small print somewhere  ::)

Sorry – I meant keeping the same Broadband but transferring it from one house to another, not cancelling it.  :-\

Oh, well in that case I have no idea  😀 Sorry  ;D Sounds alot of money to do that though  :-\

Are you still under contract with them  ??? If not threaten to change BB proivider unless they transfer you to new address for free  ;D Worth a go  :-\

Still under contract.  🙁 Is there some sort of industry regulator I can ask? Is it OFCOM same as the phone?

Worth trying them, I’m sure they’d put you in the right direction if they don’t deal with it  🙂

I never paid anything why are you asking  :confused:all I did was on line give them a change of address which they rarely even use as it’s internet so we use the internet infact apart from the odd promo they have no need to even know where I live thinking about it (as I sometimes do)  ;D all they are interested in is a card update so their money keeps coming

Cos I went to do the change address on their site so they can move the B\B to here and I can cancel this one – and the form I was about to fill in said there was a £60 charge.  :-\ 🙁

My contract will be a year from last April when I took it out I think. I just wanted to get it sorted quick and easy and it be one less thing to worry about – but nowt wants to work that way – so I think I will have to phone and speak to them 1st, then if no joy with them head for OFCOM… I could live with it if it was £10 or something… but £60 is steep.  :-\

my advice – e-mail bbc radio sheffield or nottingham most local stations do a “consumer help” section of the show and they are always dealing with broadband hell like this.  they will do all the crap for you – for free and all you have to do is e-mail them and you might have to do a tiny bit of speaking on radio (worth it to save £60 + all the hasstle – or you can actually get ANYONE you  know to call for you).
