As a new customer, same applies for our copper products these days.

Regards,

I suppose at least you give people the choice, others don't including your parent company., but for how long will you give people the choice?

Surely this is normal way of operating

You buy gas and electric from the same supplier you get a "dual fuel discount" on both the gas and electric price.
You have two cars insured with the same insurer you get a discount on the second one.

You have both BB& voice phone line with Plusnet you will now get a discount compared to those who only have the BB who will now be charged more.
Its hardly new or cheeky or outrageous.

Hell, if you bought lots of stuff from me I'd give you a sodding discount compared to if you only bought one product line from me.

BT Line Rental £15.45
Unlimited Anytime Plan £5.15
Plusnet Unlimited £9.99

Total £30.59 soon to be £33.09 (plusnet unlimited £12.49)

Plusnet Line Rental £14.99
Unlimited Anytime Plan £5.00
Plusnet Unlimited £9.99

Total £29.98

No real different compare! But will fork out paying £3.11 extra a month if I stay with BT (still under contracted until April 2014)

I will leave if they charged me £12.49 but I staying if they keep my £9.99 continue. Why should I paying £2.50 extra because my line rental isn't with Plusnet?

Because as I have been told before, calls is the way they make their money. If I went back to fixed line broadband, I would want a separate landline rental and I would not mind paying a bit extra to do so.
i am not a fan of plusnet, but at least they give you that choice, so where do you think you would go that give you the choice for the same price?

And if like me you are hooked to a market 1 exchange, the cost is even higher with BB @ £21.99 for unlimited, along with a £50 setup fee for non-contract, but can be beaten by my small suppliers giving a much better deal with no tie-in.

According to this annoucment here, you will have to pay an extra 1.50 the same as me http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,1170...

It as I said above, it's because we don't have line rental with PN.

Well in this case, I will be leaving Plusnet as it disgraceful and cheeky to charged customer who are not line rental with Plusnet. Will complaints to Ofcom.

Plusnet try to be clever smart to force u to stay with plusnet for 18 months contract if u take the phone service over to Plusnet.

Aren't the phone package contracts just for 12 months and Fibre BB contracts 18 months?

In reply to a post by professor973:

when I investigated the low prices of Primus, I discovered they were resold TT.

You discovered that BB (+phone maybe) was resold TT, but did you discover that landline alone was resold TT?

Doubt it as nobody does phone alone LLU, unless it was resold TT's resold WLR in which case there should not have been an issue porting the #.

For completely new signups, the bundle minimum term is the same as the included broadband product's minimum term. Legacy customers may be different.

Is that happening now or from the October changes?

In reply to a post by adslmax:

Hang on there, I have BT line rental with BT and broadband with plusnet for ADSL2+ unlimited at £9.99 per month, are you saying that I will be charged at £2.50 extra from October because I don't have line rental with Plusnet?

Hang on a minute there! The £1.50 pm BB increase only applies to Value and Extra broadband only.

You are on Unlimited and therefore not affected by this BB price increase.

EDIT: I now see that superspeed is on Extra and therefore is affected by this BB price increase.
