Roll up, roll up! Step this way and witness the incredible joint-price-hike happening right before your eyes! That's right folks, it's the time of year when all of the companies that we give so much of our hard earned money to deicde to raise their prices all within a few weeks of each other. And latest to add to the list is BT.
Yep, that's right. Those telecom giants have decided that they want a piece of the price-hike-pie and as such have announced that from January next year their latest price rises will come into effect, alongside Npower, Scottish Power and British Gas.
BT have releases a statement concerning the price rises, which reads: "All voice and broadband changes have been restricted to 5.9% and prices will be frozen on all monthly line rental, BT Infinity, BT Broadband, UK Landline calls and vision essential until 2014 at the earliest".
So thanks for that BT, how very considerate of you. They have, however, conceded that some people may be unhappy with the latest set of price rises (shock, horror!) and as such have announced that customers will be able to cancel their policy should they so wish without incurring any further fees. Ahhh. How considerate of you BT.
For BT's phone customers, the following price increases will come into effect. Line rental will increase from 14.60 to 15.45 per month, with the 'out-of-package' call connection fee increasing from 13.1p to 13.87p. By comparison, line rental Sky's Fibre Unlimited package, (which, ironically, uses BT's infrastructure) will remain at just 14.50 per month!?
The costs of actual calls will be increasing also, with daytime costs rising from 7.95 to 8.41 pence per minute, and evening costs rising from 1.05 to 1.11 pence per minute. Specialist plans such as Unlimited Anytime, Evening or Weekend plans will see an increase of 30 pence per month.
But the question remains, with other options readily available, why is it that more people do not take advantage of systems such as Voip technology, which offers higher quality and cheaper call rates. One reason is a possible fear of the unknown; although Voip systems will not be unknown for much longer
It is clear to all in the know that Voip is the future of communication in both the business and residential world's, with the benefits they offer far outweighing that of their analogue based predecessors. So what are you waiting for? If it's another price rise then hang on, because there will be another one just around the corner. But if it's better quality and cheaper phone calls, then the answer can only be Voip.
