| BT announce line rental increase effective from 1st November 2007 |
|
On 1 November, BT will be increasing the rental prices on Access products. In general terms, the rental will be increasing by some 4.8%. However, additional discounts have been made available to customers within certain BT packages to negate or minimise these increases.
The products affected include: Standard business PSTN line rentals; ISDN 2e rentals; ISDN 30e & DASS2; and Featureline rentals. In addition, the Business Line Reward and Business Line Start-up products will be withdrawn from new supply on 1 November. BT has introduced the changes because most rental charges haven’t increased since September 2002, with the exception of a few old ISDN variants which are in the process of being withdrawn. Since that time, the Retail Price Index (RPI) has risen by 17% (the current figure for this year being 4.8%). In effect, this means that in real terms, BT’s rental charges have actually fallen over the past few years. The Price List can be viewed at: www.bt.com/pricing |
