It's the same in virtually all telecomms and internet business, 'loyal' customers don't register on the radar, they already get your money. The fastest way to get their attention is to threaten to stop giving it to them, it's amazing what some companies can suddenly come up with after all when you ring up and say you want to cancel your account because they won't give you the same deal as new customers .......

I agree totally, but like Gary said - that's how it is. We've been throwing money at Telecom/Xtra for years. We left a few years ago for Slingshot and it really made no difference, except Telecom started cold calling offering us special deals if we joined up again.
Anyway, my point is they don't give about loyal customers. None of the telcos do (they're the worst followed by power companies).
