USwitch Upgrades

The sight is still showing the current price and mentioning the April rise but the Cost Breakdown is showing price from April only.

No sign as yet of any major changes

Sounds like uSwitch are pulling a switchearoo 🤣

I'm eagerly awaiting a promising deal but I'm guessing there will be an increase on the base £8 possibly up to £9 which is sill an 80p saving

I'm wondering if it ties in with this post

Very possibly

It's not long to wait now because I don't want to pay £9.80 for a declining network with a p*ss-poor customer service

It looks as if they are using delaying tactics to close any 'loopholes'?

Asked uSwitch Customer Support this just now, using screenshot from the link above by @Enlli - as today you see

Yet:

And O2 charge the +£1.80 price from the get-go, IE in March. Swingeing b'stids 😱

Re: USwitch Upgrades

Enlli — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:47 GMT

Yep. Which means the USwitch headline price is misleading (nice way to put it)

The first charge should be pro rata.

pgn — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:16:36 GMT

Exactly the term I used, without the pro-rata bit, @Enlli

Typos all mine, Otto Krekt in fine form today 🤣

OFCOM really screwed the general public whilst the networks and third party sellers have a big celebration party

So it looks like I'll be sticking with the £8 tariff thus paying £9.80 in April

Royally peed off with USwitch!

@jonsie

Not sure it's USwitch to blame?

After all, their deals ARE cheaper but once they move you to the O2 section to complete your purchase,

it's O2 who have added the £1.80?

Re: USwitch Upgrades

jonsie — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:43:19 GMT

USwitch prices have gone up a little although the £8.99 tariff gives you more GB

I'll have to see what happens nearer the end of March

In some cases, it seems, cookies may be the problem:

The whole journey, from Uswitch into O2, worked without issue in an Incognito/InPrivate tab in a fresh browser when attempted yesterday:

Incognito works well - login to MyO2 first, then Uswitch as a tab in same browser:

Good to know @pgn

Now we just need a decent offer 🤣

Re: USwitch Upgrades

Enlli — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 09:48:04 GMT

Three are now showing next price rise as April 2026

With the Vodafone offering changing at the begining of this month O2 are last network standing!

Re: USwitch Upgrades

pgn — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 10:46:05 GMT

O2 leaving it to the last possible moment again... 🙄

Re: USwitch Upgrades

jonsie — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 11:29:23 GMT

Maybe lots of people leaving O2 if they see what's already on offer by Three and Vodafone....

In 1999 my wife, bless her, took out a 30 day rolling contract with a network starting with V

It was £10, come 2025 it's still £10
