So the Internet tells me that all ISPs pay BT OpenReach some £84 PA for residential phone lines bought in bulk to provision ISP - broadband & telephony charges.
Wouldn't it be great if some enterprising company sold cheap line rental to the UK public....wait the Post Office. Yes the Post Office's mark up is only 43%. Yes £120 PA. The cheapest I can find for landlines that we've all paid ten times over for. BT current price £16 per month - that's £192 or an eye watering £170 PA in advance. A massive 102% mark up....on their own inhouse product.
Can you find ANY ISP who will provision broadband & telephony services over a landline rental contract they have not sold you ?
I cannot.
So you get screwed over for price inflated line rental annual saver packages whilst they advertise a headline grabbing low data and call prices.
What do those people at OfCom do ? They are so behind the curve on ISP marketing & sales scams its criminal.
