Home phone calls subject to connection fee.

It's that time of year again when we al look to tighten the purse strings and try and make the money stretch a little further.

As part of this process I decided to investigate combining my Broadband with my home phone into one monthly payment cheaper than paying each separately.

When I checked out what was on offer, with help from MSE of course, I noticed something new and surprising to me. I was looking at the Talk Talk offer and came across this "All chargeable calls are subject to 13.87p connection fee." This charge is applied to all calls made during peak hours.

Is this practice of charging a connection fee a common practice among the Telecom providers or unique to Talk Talk?. Obviously it pays to read the small print
