BT 'Unlimited Evening & Weekend Plan'

[Terry Pinnell]

I'm a bit vague, but I think I somehow got myself signed up for this
when I last upgraded my BT Broadband contract. Anyway, I've just had a
reminder that renewal is due. My suspicions are always raised (and
with BT in particular) when I see phrases like "To carry on benefiting
from this offer, just sit back and relax - you don't need to do
anything! We'll automatically set up another contract term, giving you
the same evening and weekend calls at no extra cost for another year."

Yet I can't see the catch (apart from tied in for another year).

"If you do decide to cancel, you'll be charged the normal price for
our Unlimited Evening and Weekend Plan, which is currently £2.95 per
month (plus line rental at £11.25*) for customers without a renewable
contract, once your current contract ends. Once your contract is
renewed, you won't be able to cancel it before the next renewal date
without incurring termination charges. If you do decide to end your
contract within the 12 month minimum term, you will incur a single
charge of £7.50 for each month left of the minimum term."

Anyone have any advice please?

It exactly as is written on the tin I have the full package day and
evening and never had any problems I got the same message regarding
not doing anything on my renewal date . I have never had any problems
with BT or GPO before them although I am fully aware that quite a few
people have for many reasons on the other hand I think BT internet is
total shite and would not entertain them ever again .

In effect you are tied into to a continuous contract, with an
opportunity to get out without penalty once per year. I wouldn't
touch it with a barge-pole.
