Just had a price rise a few months back and not long before that too

BT you are one big joke.

Your pathetic attempt to show some sympathy regarding price rises does not wash with me

As Jim Royle says "it's good to talk my *rse"

We're making some changes to the prices of our products and services from 3 December 2011. We're putting up line rental by 70p as well as changing the cost of some of our calls and broadband prices.


We know no one likes it when prices go up [then why increase prices again?]. That's why we've kept these rises as low as we can. [oh please] You can rest assured that no other prices are increasing by more than 5% and more than half of the prices of our products and services won't change at all. What's more, the cost of line rental, calls to UK landlines and the Unlimited Anytime Plan won't rise again until 2013. [I dont believe a word BT spout off]


Standard Calls and Line Pricing

  • Standard line rental charge will go from £13.90 to £14.60 a month if you pay by Direct Debit.* (these changes won't apply to existing Line Rental Saver customers).
  • Payment Processing Fee will go from £1.80 to £1.89 a month for those not paying by Direct Debit through a bank account.
  • Set-up fee for calls from landlines or with Broadband Talk will go from 12.5p to 13.1p a call.*†
  • Rate for calls you make to UK landlines during the day will go from 7.6p to 7.95p a minute and for calls made in the evening will go from 1p to 1.05p a minute. *†
* These changes won't apply if you're on BT Basic.
† Inclusive calls of up to an hour on calling plans will not be affected.
