Airband renewal?

[J B]

I blagged a good deal with Airband (wireless, not cabled fibre) 40 mBps for £19 pcm, which is ending in July.

They are wanting to offer me a new deal but is obviously more expensive!
One month free then £24 - 18 month deal
OR
The 'new user' offer of 6 months at £15 then 18 months at £30

My negotiations so far have proved difficult. My thoughts are that they ought to better the 'new user' offer as I don't need a new antenna or router, but sadly, they don't see it that way!

Any ideas anyone

Been talking to 'the man in the pub' today about about Airband and he's been reliably informed that A/B have made 350 people redundant.
All installations are now done by OpenReach!
Make of that what you will.

Until fibre is rolled out to rural areas they've got us by the short and curlies!
Starlink is way too pricey imo.

Indeed - and mobile broadband is not quite as good ... although I have managed to use it when Airband had an episode of regularly failing about a year ago

What happens if you don't do anything? My guess is that you will continue on the old deal at the rate you have been paying and continue to do so unless you sign up to a new deal or either of the parties terminate the contract. I could be wrong but at times doing nothing might be the best option as they might be trying you to agree to the new terms. If you have the old contract you signed upto, worth having a read to see what happens at the end of the contract if you do not switch to a new deal. No harm in checking.

They've said it will go up to £25 but it may be worth waiting as their 'customer 'service' has often been somewhat lacking!
