From 16th January 2009, BT have increased it's residential call set-up charge from 6.85p to 8p (inc VAT)

I expect most other operators to also increase their set-up charges shortly..

    Why does the word 'cartel' keep coming into my mind?

    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    I know, how terrible.

    Such a surprise that a private company might just want to try and recoup some of the massive investment that they're making.

    They are (they're)     sitting on the floor.
    Their     books are lying on the floor.
    The books are sitting just there on the floor.

    Probably trying to get some money back after so many customers have left them.
