BT landline price goes to £12.50
Given the new BT landline price increase to 12.50 pounds per month one wonders how BT competitors such as Post Office Home Phone and Primus are able to undercut the BT price? This is especially in consideration of the fact that these companies must purchase access to your home by means of a contract with BT for that same landline usage.
But this essentially means is that British Telecom charges its direct regular customers more than those companies which subcontract BT landline usage. To say that this seems unfair would be quite the understatement. Rather than consider the relative fairness you’d do better to consider lower priced phone service alternatives such as home phone and broadband combined. A lower price offered is from companies like Talk Talk and Virgin media. When purchased as part of a broadband package home phone service from either of those becomes almost a “throw in”.
Another odd pricing factor is the lack of a monthly contract fee when using Post Office Home Phone. This creates an excellent bargain for low usage customers. If by now all of these price options have you confused there’s a simple way to clarify and understand every option for home phone service in the United Kingdom.
