I think it has been said on here before, but its marketing to a point, they sell broadband at below cost price so have to make their money elsewhere so the line rental it is as that price is in the small print along with the cost of a call outside the allowance. Then everyone says cool that's cheap these smaller providers are just so expensive for broadband!!

Any chance of a round up of the line rental prices from ISPs?
When the applied from and any published forthcoming price rises.
I very much suspect that every price rise follows shortly after BT announces their new tariff

Just the current round of changes missing from the chart at http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/6772-openreach-li...
Can update if there is interest in doing so.

What you don't show there tough is (possibly a single average) line for the independents, such as vavaciti in this thread, AAISP, Aquiss, uno, Pulse8 and no doubt a few others easily found.
The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.

If someone has their data on pricing going back a few years can add them, and produce a prettier graph with more lines and colours.

everythings go back to the old day in 1980's. Er, 1970s actually. The 1980s were when Maggie was at her peak getting rid of stale institutions like those.

Line Rental are going up again in 2016 after BT signed a new deal with BT Sports to coverage of the Ashes Series in Australia 2017. Worth £80 million pound deal.

Got a source for that, or speculation.
BT Retail Line Rental generally has a once a year increase, so even if there was no Ashes signing would probably have gone up.
Everyone presumes the sports rights are paid by voice line rental, ignoring the decent sized sum of income from pubs and clubs and those individuals subscribing over Sky satellite, or taking a mobile SIM from BT too.
If we don't want BT Retail doing TV, they should also not do mobile, cloud storage, free WiFi, free routers and a myriad of other features.

There is no source for that as I were expecting BT to rise line rental next year as pure to my guess knowedge.
|
|
|

But it's Openreach/Wholesale who develop the new technologies, isn't it? Isn't there supposed to be complete separation (ie no-cross subsidies) between BT Retail and the rest of the group?
