BT announces price hikes for landline and broadband customers

[Mikes10]

I just got my latest bill and it's now up to nearly £70! ---:

 

My BT bill is £65.00, Infinity-1, includes BT Mobile 2GB Plan

 

I do not have any BT sports or BT TV subscription

 

I like the little bill tags that say

"This bill includes price changes effective of 3rd July 2016" and "From 3 July, your Line Rental comes with Faster Fault Fixes".

 

 

I also discovered there are several types of SMS message:

 

SMS: basic messaging system - BT Mobile 2GB plan- no charge- unlimited.

MMS: ( basic + audio/ video messaging system )

Premium SMS: Not included in BT mobile plan

International SMS: Not included in BT mobile plan.

 

 

The really anything about these additional charges, I cannot find any info on any of the BT web sites.

What's that 65 compare to last year Mike? (assuming no changes, like me)

3 Sept BT 12 month contract ( Infinity-1 )

 

Line Rental: £16.99

 

Caller Display free for 12 months

 

Unlimited Anytime Calls Add-on: £5.30 ( Includes anytime calls to UK landlines and discounts to UK mobiles )

 

Broadband and Calls: £23.00

 

Your monthly total: £45.29 ( does not include 2GB mobile plan [ currently £10.00 / month, mobile contract taken out Feb 2016 ] )

 

If I include the 2GB mobile plan it would be £55.00

 

Thus percentage increase = ( 65 - 55 ) * 100/55 = 18.18%

 

Note: at the bottom of contract:

From 20 September, some of our prices are changing by up to 6.94% and line rental is increasing by £1 a month.

You may have paid for some of this already. If you've got a package with a discount, remember that, when the discount period ends, your package price will go back to its full price.

They give you the chance to break contact if they raise the price.

 

No they don't.

Thanks Mike. Looks like I'll have to ring and queue. Not impressed at all.
