First of all I have to pay £30 for an engineer to come to my house and make some "modifications" to the box on the outside of the house. Then when I put the new modem in, I have to pay £20 to get it registered. Although I was told the extra monthly payment is only £8 rather than £15, which is pretty good.

So £50 to upgrade my service, which is going to cost more per month anyway, doesn't see very reasonable to me. So I'll be staying firmly with 20Mb for the mean time
So....Let me see what you have said and let's consider the first year only.

You would be happy to pay £15 x 12 = £180 if the install was free but are not happy to pay a £50 install and then £8 per month = £146.

I make that a saving of £34 in the first year and then ongoing savings of £7 per month!
