How much notice do I have to give

I am a BT Total Broadband anywhere option 3 customer with 2 mobiles (very expensive) and regrettably after 32 years with BT it is time to go elsewhere.
I think according to the terms & conditions here -
http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/dynamicmodules/pagecontentfooter/pageContentF... 
If I am moving to a new supplier (not cancelling) through an approved process (presumably MAC & PAC codes) I only have to give 14 days notice see below.......
Ending the service
Once we have provided the service, you may tell us to stop providing it at any time by giving us 30 days' notice. We will accept notice via a range of methods including phone, e-mail, online chat and in writing. You can contact us to give notice using any of the contact details set out on your last BT bill or any other means of contact we have given you, for that purpose. If you are switching to another provider through an approved process, the notice you must give us will be 14 days. We can stop providing the service to you by giving you 28 days' written notice.
However when I try and get an authoritative answer from a human being I get told it's 30 days. Now my prospective new provider(s) will migrate me in about 10 days, which if the humans are correct, would mean me paying twice for my telecommunication services for 20 days, which does not make any sense at all.
Now I've had a few problems with BT over the last couple of weeks (which is what has prompted me to look elsewhere) and every time I have spoken to someone I have had a different answer to the same question (on different matters). Essentially it is all so complicated, that not even BT's own people know what they are talking about LOL and I have completely lost confidence in them being able to give me the right answer.
So does any one out there know for certain how much notice I am required to give?

Well I'm glad you think it's clear because it isn't clear to Customer Options (quote 30 Days) or Billing (quote 30 Days), neither of whom if they are wrong, have any idea of what BT's terms and conditions are. In fact, customer options thanked me for pointing out to them the 14 days bit which he said he wasn't aware of!!!!!!
It also says -  "We will accept notice via a range of methods including phone, e-mail, online chat and in writing."  but when I asked about giving notice (before I read that bit) guess what? I was told I could not give notice, they would not accept it from me, they would only accept it from the new service provider.
Similar problem last week. I was on holiday in the UK and it looked like I might bust my mobile data limit, so I ring customer options, checked where I was, they can tell you how much you've used up to a couple of hours ago, as the online usage is always 2 days behind, "yes I can add another Gb of data for £10.20 or its £1.50 per Mb if I go over". Wasn't looking too bad on Monday but by Wednesday.......... Please can I add that extra Gb of Data we talked about on Monday? "Errr, no you can't add any extra data but don't worry, its not £1.50 Mb it's only 20p". LOL that's still a lot of money, so I stopped using the phone as a wifi hotspot, which was not exactly convenient.
So as you can see, the people in customer care don't actually know what they are talking about, which is a bit worrying.
BTW The wifi hotspot worked really well ............. on the edge of Exmoor ......... Live streaming TV of Le Mans 24hrs over the weekend. Which is how I nearly bust my data limit LOL.

  • Is there any way to find out how much battery life you have on you're Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard on your Windows Partion?

    I'm a avid gamer and for my gaming needs most of the games that I love require Windows ,but due to my constant clicking I drain my mouse battery very fast so I always have backups. Is there anyway I can check how much mouse battery I have left so I can be sure before I start a gaming session that I'll be fine? Switching back and forth between partions is an option ,but I find it as more of a last resort then something to do normally.
    Thanks in advance!

    call them, tell them you NEED a new battery installed, and they need to tell you when they can do it.  That is their job to help you! Give pushback if necessary.

  • How much space do I need to give Windows7?

    Hello,
    I want to get the middle of the line MacBook Pro with Retina Display and and I've seen "gaming" reviews of it. I saw that it can handle playing Battlefield3 and since that is my favorite game, I would like to play it.
    So here,
    Battlefield3 recommends using Windows7 64bit which requires 20GB but I still don't know how much the game itself will take up.
    So my question is, how much GB of storage should I give Windows on Bootcamp?
    Note: This is the only game I will be using.
              I am going to use Steam
             Game will only be used for online multiplayer.
    Thank you in advance for your responses.

    So my question is, how much GB of storage should I give Windows on Bootcamp?
    How large a SSD are you going to have? I would think that you would be 'safe' with a 30-40GB partition. I use 60 GB or so (I'm running Parallels, NOT Boot Camp) for Windows and a boat load of applications. Most of my 'real' storage is either on my Mac or on Microsoft's SkyDrive.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • I have a 4s and i need a new one i was wondering if they can check to see how much the one i have now is worth and then i can just pay the difference like that

    i have a 4s and i need a new one i was wondering if they can check to see how much the one i have now is worth and then i can just pay the difference like that

    No, Apple does not take trade ins.  Your carrier may have different polices regarding trade ins. Best to contact them about it.
    Alternatively you can use Apple's Recycling Program with one of their partners.  They will give you an Apple Store Gift card with the value they determine the iPhone has. And you can use the Gift card in the purchase of a new iPhone.
    You can go here to see how much your current iPhone 4s is worth in the recycling program.

  • How do I find how much me more I have available on my mac?

    How do I find how much me more I have available on my mac?

    if you mean "Memory", as in RAM, you can 1. look at "About this Mac" which is under the apple menu at the top left of your screen, and it will tell you how much total ram you have.
    2. If you mean hard drive space, if you select your startup drive in the finder, and do "Get Info" (control-click), it will tell you how big the hard drive is, and how much free space is on it.
    3. Or go to applications>utilities>activity monitor and check out the system memory and disc usage buttons on the bottom.

    Sounds like a slam dunk to me.  While I think a person would get MORE than $200 for both phones, the new phone starts at $199 (16gb).  Now if  you're talking about buying the new phone outright, that's a different story and I would agree that you're right.

  • How much RAM do I have

    Ok I have a MacBook Pro. I know I have two gigs of RAM. I know the max I can put in is 4 gigs. But what I can't figure out without opening it up (which I don't want to do twice) is how much ram do I have in each slots. I know there is two slots. I don't know if I have 1 and 1 or 2 and 0. I rather have 2 and 0 that way I don't have to buy two 2 gig RAM sticks from Tiger Direct

    Yeah, I hate that, throwing away 2 sticks to really upgrade, but here's the RAM I think you need...
