ohh dear :S thats not good
Why? I can't see it but as a good thing.
Yeah not sure how you read this. This is brilliant news for the consumer. If you fear that BT will now bump its prices up then you have misread the article.Quote:

Although I think BT were offering very cheap bundles to existing customers already if they threatened to move. I pay only 14 pounds for my option 3 bt boardband for example.
Tiscali is still cheap :D

they can't do much for the premium numbers you've been dialing, the girls their need their money.
Cheap does not always mean that it is good though, and this was reflected in the amount of calls and emails I used to recieve from friends and family who were having broadband issues.Quote:

I'm firmly in the this is bad news camp. BT already throttle the life out of connections in the evenings, charging less for the service is hardly going to improve things.......
