Re: FTTC to FTTC migration cost


[re: R0NSKI] [link to this post]
 
yes I have the same feeling, what happened to been able to have no inclusive calls at all on the landline?

On this subject its worth noting as well that the reason plusnet etc. even have the high base migration fee is that the wholesale fee is £50 even tho adsl migrations for the same process are nearer £10.

there are "line rental only" deals from several retailers.

Do people still use landlines much now days?
yep, they are often cheaper if you're calling another landline or an oddball number or overseas. PAYG mobile is expensive telephony.

Even on contract, calling some companies is stupidly expensive thanks to 0845 numbers and being on hold. (and yes I know about saynoto0870.com).

If you have a BT landline and any smartphone, get BT SmartTalk. I loaded it a week ago and once you work out the settings you need it is brilliant.

Connection - Plusnet UnLim Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 541/15.2Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

I think that could be a mis-reading of the price list, or a very recent change.

The latter would make sense, as the "within WBC" migration process is almost certainly identical.

£13.20 in end-user terms of course.

Possibly, I'm only reading it from row 116 of the Feb 13 price list linked to in the OP. I have no other info.
