Last Ten Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I see that Sure C&W are increasing the price of Broadband, landline and mobile contracts. I would imagine that ultimately it will have something to do with Manx Telecom and their new owners squeezing everything they can to grab back for losing so many customers to Sure.

asitis Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I guess Sure's reliance on MT's infrastructure mean one player still does control the market ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it takes more than a couple of weeks to put together a pricing restructure which would also debunk your reasoning but don’t let that curb your enthusiasm, go get em tiger.

Non-Believer Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I thought MT had just recently increased their prices, certainly broadband, in the past couple of weeks? ETA Yes, by 5.4% in early April, there's a thread about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but i am not paying through the nose to use it on island for text, calls or data, and that privilege extends to most of the known world. MT behave like they still have a complete lockdown on the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it myself for all other calls and data but i thought when i last looked they charged a lot to call local numbers, maybe its changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not so far, and nothing like the 40p per minute MT charges to ring a landline from a mobile! i tend to use WhatsApp for the majority of my calls these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than sure or mt though. £20 per month unlimited data, calls and txts at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK it's cheaper to use a IOM SIM on roaming to call to IOM mobiles if you are in the UK. I thought that the high charges were for mobiles and not landlines in IOM but I could be wrong here. If you are in the IOM then the 3 SIM classes this as part of your allowance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
