Headline :BT warns it will increase phone bills by 6.5%
"BT has warned millions of customers it is increasing its prices by up to 6.5% from December this year. It will increase the line rental for direct debit customers by 6.25% to £16.99, and the rate for calling UK landlines by 6.44%. The set-up fee for landline calls, residential calls, to the speaking clock and call return charges will also increase for some or all customers. But BT said it had added "extra money-saving options" for poorer customers."
My thoughts :
Thought I'd give a heads up on this news. I still find B.T competitive for my isp needs.
Basic Packages remain untouched.

If you don't want a landline it is a pain I expect.....but I have friends in Spain that I phone a lot and the landline is much cheaper for us....
Some relatives and friends (in your neck of the woods)... have had Virgin taken out and BT put in..
However, all of us have different needs, so it isn't 'one size fits all'....

Just to add I've never had anything added onto my bill without knowing and I've been with them since the days of cable London
We were with them since NTL...and no problems...Then Virgin took over...
Perhaps they thought us folk in Warwickshire wouldn't notice 
but, I ask somewhat quietly ..... doesn't it all depend upon the reception you get? ..... where I live I am somewhat high up = void under house & very open both sides of property (terraced) ..... I've noticed the internet speed dropping quite recently ..... now my lad de-bugged laptop when he came over to install new table top printer & yeah I did notice a definite speeding up ..... but nowadays its much slower ..... would that be anything to do with me downloading for a few hours = I kid you not, onto C drive, I believe, World of Warcraft as advertised for free up to level 20, which is well enough for me, as far as I remember, on reaching level 20 you can, if I remember rightly, create another character ..... could this be a reason why I have slow speeds? ..... havn't played game yet, as got myself all ready & excited only to find out how do I do things as simple as move !!! ....... I just do not remember the keys for the actions as its so long ago now since I played the game with my son ..... apologies for going a bit off subject, but just to give you background info-like
