So BTs first quarter net profits are £284m and the money grabbing b'stards are still upping call charges by 10%?

Thieving gits.

You can raise the call costs...

since in the last 6 months my bill for calls has been less than £10, i have tons of free mins to use on my mobile phone.

The only numbers i use the landline for is 08 numbers when i am *forced* to have to use them.

Oh for an escape from BT!

Moved phone-line to Post Office yesterday, its about all we can do on Market One areas where we also get fleeced by the BTw monopoly. Paying twice as much for half the speed and a small allowance, OFCOM really knows how to let BT screw people over.

Before fanbois leap to BTs defence about providing service here where no one else has yet trodden, The infrastructure is here, so WHY am I paying higer costs for slower speeds than LLU?

Why are prices set to "lever people onto to 21cn services in areas where these services are yet to be offered?

OFCOM and BT.. what farce, for market one that means an abusive monopolist backed by a toothless and compliant watchdog

@ac 11.01

you dont even need it for 08 numbers

use saynoto0870.com and you can get the geographic number.

and if its a 0800, go to 0800buster and call that way

simples!

the pint? paid for with the savings on those calls

Downsizing

BT laying off staff?

Bad news for India, then.

Note to self: Must tell Mr Cameron.

"an acceptable start to the year"

There's one BT employee who certainly needs to be sacked.

So he can be prosecuted for criminal offences such as copyright theft, fraud, illegal interception, and computer misuse.

That would make an acceptable end to the year.
