Yeah, I am due a contact renewal and I am looking forward to speaking to disconnections:

"We can offer you this great deal that matches that offer."

"Yeah, but they aren't going to keep changing at irregular intervals."

When I first signed up with Zen, they gave a lifetime price guarantee. They don't offer it any more (and the prices have actually fallen since!), but it was definitely a big breath of fresh air after virgin "press 1 to only increase the bill by £2.50 instead of £5" media.

They changed their terms and conditions in September. That should allow you to cancel your connection earlier. Check your email, you may have had something from them.

Oh I don't think it's any coincidence that they've started sending me "if you rent with us now we'll give you this great deal!" emails. I'm just trying to see if I can get cash up front like last time (£100) and then see how quickly I can bin them off.
