Milk no sugar please.
The question is are you confident about getting something else? If you can get substantially more elsewhere, then they can't really argue and if they do it doesn't matter to you - just leave. If you want or need to keep this job, then it's not really in your interests for them to think of you as difficult, which they may do if you start jacking up the price after only 3 months.

Well the role has gone from Solaris sysadmin with a few other bits and pieces to:
Windows 2003 domain + (50) workstation admin
Mail server admin
SAN admin
IBM Rational Suite Admin
DB2 Admin
Partially responsible for the complete Oracle Stack
Responsible for Netbackup and Oracle Secure Backup
Responsible for deploying Siebel and JAVA apps
Responsible for the Cisco switching and firewall gear
...and I make the tea.
Granted this is only currently for around 50 workstations (set to increase to 100 shortly), 2 Windows 2003 servers, 2 SANs and around 15 Solaris servers, but how's that for scope creep?
Sure it'll look great on my CV for next time, but in the mean time it's going to cost a fortune just in textbooks!

Don’t listen to these moppets. Ask for an increase , do your best. If you don’t get just keep working.
I am in the same situation and I will do this.

What's the best way to negotiate a rate rise? Just tell the agent I want £x to stay?
Cheers....
My window cleaner doesn't increase his rate every 3 months just because I renew his contract...

No idea about the agency cut, but it's a pretty niche job - SC cleared, British citizens only.
The other 2 people they interviewed were, by all accounts, complete muppets.

Any idea on the agency cut? could be a nice rise, or, they could sack you off for somebody fresh, espeically if the work has not started as yet!
