    I think it is, on my dash if I clicked my offers I just got the april 2024 price rise page, but if observant on the way there it hits a no page found first before it auto redirects to the price rise page. However my email retention link I was able to click not interested twice to get a 3rd...

    Best bet, worst case scenario (if you got no FTTP available) can reorder as new customer under new name. My cancellation will likely go through without a reorder as CF connected me today.

    I am using AAISP, gave me a bunch of IP's as well. 1000/1000.

    Connected earlier today, latency is insane, never thought it possible to be under 5ms from midlands. Feels odd having so much upload bandwidth as well. I am also surprised how I am noticing faster web browsing, to make sure not placebo I switched back and forth to VM and it is visible.

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    I apologise if I came across harsh, hopefully you get on top of it. Good move on the smart meter, and best of luck on the other stuff.

    Guessing your account is deemed valuable. So far still none for me.

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    You need to get more involved. Examine your usage, and compare it to others in similar situation to see if its even remotely realistic. Look at what tariff you on, are you paying competitive rates, might you be better on something like tracker e.g. A starting point maybe get some watt meters...

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    I have seen a few panic posts on the net, but looking at the 365 days history, prices rapidly dropped, and we now seem to be getting a correction. Not good that over the last few days the behaviour is a bit less stable, but it looks like a temporary dip to me rather than the start of a upward...

    Cityfibre updated DB already, I now have a install date on Yayzi for 30 April on their online checker, which is a SDU lead time. I informed the ISP I ordered with whats going on but told them to wait until Friday to query as CF told me they would update them themselves.

    Rent increase question

    For a lot of people £500 is a lot of money. Comment seems a bit detached. Especially needed when homeless and clamouring around for somewhere to live, in a world where everything is paid up front.

    Rent increase question

    I havent read all 11 pages (sorry) so if any updates have been posted I missed. The obvious question, is how long is the tenancy agreement for, the annual right to increase rent suggests its a long agreement, this is extremely important as to your rights. The clause in the tenancy you quoted...

    Anything that is even the slightest move away from long commits is a good thing, I hope thats successful as the owner said he will make it more longer term if it works out. At wholesale level CF is 1 month commit.

    Interesting info there thank you @Avalon , I expected was some kind of tiered system based on the services the customer already has and what you posted seems to kind of add some substance to it. I am probably the worst type of customer, as all I want is a single thing, broadband, and havent...

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    Yep. I came to same conclusion in February, I loaded up Octopus Compare, looked at my December readings, there was no load shifting, as I was on tracker, and every day except one single day was cheaper on Agile, Agile over the month was about £6 cheaper, the one day Tracker was cheaper I used...

    Probably part of the reason there is a load of backlogged work due and some renewables have a wait time of over a decade to get connected.

    It seems thats not assured success now sadly. When I rang to cancel, I got an offshore centre which was odd in itself given retentions are effectively sales, and the guy couldnt even match the automated email offer, the offer was hideous. I have seen 4 posts today where people got personalised...

    Excellent deal then. I live alone, so if I go down the route of someone else signing up, having to hope they accept their name at my address even though they dont live here. I did this once for my sister years ago (she couldnt sign up due to bad debt, so I signed of the contract, VM knew I...

    They literally offer every different customer a different price, clearly is an algorithm there to maximise profit per end user. Only 3 days ago someone was offered a price for my package I would have happily agreed to on my renewal. If it was a no bull**** approach where you have one price for...
