Well after more than a decade of being with EE, just got a text from them telling me my £8/month legacy SIM only tariff is ending in 4 weeks. They'll be raising it to £15/month, an 88% price hike, for EXACTLY the same benefit, unlimited calls, unlimited texts, 5Gb data, free EU roaming!
With the most cursory of searching I have found 3 x networks (Lebara, Talk home, Spusu) offering the same SIM free benefit at only £5/month. Ironically one using the EE network.
Can't understand the business logic, if EE had not bothered me, I'd have happily given them £96/year, instead of nothing. I'm sure they must have some kind of tax dodge to make that worth them while to lose revenue LOL
Oh well, it's been a blast, I still don't get an EE signal at home despite annual promises for 'improvement', but with WiFi calling, I really couldn't give a toss what network I'm on, they're all disappointing.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

Well, you'll never guess what! Was about to transfer to Asda, so requested my PAC code from EE.
Within 2 minutes EE phoned me.
Long story short, the 'loyalty' team offered me £6/month with 6Gb data, and EU roaming. Chuffed to bits... It's a 12 month contract, though rolling thereafter so will continue till I cancel, with a £1.50 annual increase. Result!
