BT Landline Increase

So BT are once again increasing their Monopoly Rip Off prices.
Suppose it helps pay for the Football.
Maybe Jeremy Corbyn should have a look.

You can get your landline from other providers not just BT Retail

Yep, indeed you can; in most cases a few pence cheaper than BT. However explain to me why other ISPs increase their line rental in the shadow of BTs price hike.

Vivaciti's landline prices are wayyyy cheaper than BT Consumer. Several pounds, not a few pence. More in line with a smallish markup on the Wholesale Line Rental price.

Given the low running costs of line rental from a provider's point of view, more the sort of figure all honest CPs should be charging.

I can't im afraid ours has not gone up for some years now, I cant speak for the others, although a profit does have to be made.

One thing is I DO HATE PROFIT by the company. Greedy!

So do you think companies should not make a profit? Tell me do you work for nothing?

If I own the business for service provider as I will not overcharge to the customers as I will make my company as a non-profit!

To be fair your line rental @ £11.40 per month is very good compare to BT & PN line rental @ £17.99 & £16.99 per month.

Yeah but there's profit and profiteering. Which one do you think BTs increase comes under? I know which.

Caley.
