It's that time of year again, with energy companies and service providers alike ganging up on us poor, neglected customers, to increase their prices even further all within a couple of weeks of each other. BT have just announced that from January 2013 all BT customers will need to pay up to 5.9% more for all their phone and broadband services.
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 commented that: "We've kept changes to 5.9 percent or less for Voice and Broadband, and we will freeze prices on monthly line rental, UK landline calls, BT Broadband, BT Infinity, Vision Essential, and the Unlimited Anytime Plan from 5 January, 2013 until 2014 at the earliest."
BT have also announced that anyone unhappy with the price rises can cancel their service without incurring a penalty - so long as the cancellation is made within 10 days of being notified of the price increase.
The main price increase will be for line rental - which will increase from 14.60 to 15.45 per month - and also call connection costs, with the call connection fee increasing substantially from 13.1pence to 13.87 pence per call.
But as well as this, the actual cost of calls will be increasing also, with daytime calls rising by nearly 0.5 pence per minute and evening calls increasing also, (although not by as big a margin) and specialist plans rising by an average of thirty pence per month.
But with other options available, the question has to be asked 'Why do more people not take advantage of cheaper and higher quality systems such as Voip technology?' The easy answer is our inherent fear of the unknown, and Voip technology is still very much in its infancy - but it won't remain that way for long
Voip technology is the future of communication, with massively reduced (sometimes even free) call costs and much improved audio quality. In a few years time Voip will be the standard of telephony across most of the western world, so why not make the change to an ITSPA registered and award winning company such as VoIPDito today, and start being the change you want to see in the world.
