4g or not 4g

I pay £7.50 a month for mine with 4g which is handy when I'm out and about.

I was glad to get rid of Virgin mobile. Bloody awful. Far better deals with Giffgaff.

Apart from the shocking coverage, poor speeds and awful customer service. They were cheap for us as an existing customer... I left under the 14 day cooling off period.

Hmm I have nothing but good thing to say about Virgin after many years of using them. The deals I get offered always seem to beat the competition too.

The worst problem I have had with Virgin is that you have to check for better deals yourself - they'll rarely let you know if they have them. Couldn't find a comparable rate with GiffGaff.

That's the same as most companies though. I can't recall any time a company has let me/family know about a better deal they're offering. And why would they when you're happily paying over the odds for something they can provide cheaper?

 

Our ISP never tells us we can get X amount of things for cheaper.

Mobile Phone company has never told me, or my brother, we can get more minutes/data for the same price, if not cheaper.

The electric and gas companies have never done it either.

And certainly not any insurance company has done it either!

 

I'd like to know what companies you go with that actively tell you how to save money with them.

Yeah but I kinda expect that from most companies. I have Virgin phone, mobile, TV and broadband and every time a contract comes up I badger them to come up with a better price and they always do. Their 'loyalty discount' appears to be set in relation to how far you push them.
