@gleneagles Dunno how you think that a "phone call" landline is less costly than a "package" i.e. BB and Phone
a landline is a landline... i.e. copper or ally piece of wire connecting two places together for the purpose of communicating...
How that communicating is done, is neither here nor there.... the cost of the "wire" is the same...
therefore when any ISP or phone provider says it includes the "landline" cost in their "package" if it has been overcharging ( as is the case of BT ).. then any reduction in costings due to the "class action" SHOULD, also be reproduced in other suppliers costings, and a consequence of that, SHOULD be a reduction and a refund of those overcharged prices pro--rata accordingly...
Should that prove to be the case then you might be in line for a refund up to £ 500, however as I interpret that article it’s just those who have a separate package one for phone and one for broadband or just a phone line.
I do not disagree with what you say, likely we have all being overcharged but it’s not clear cut otherwise the action would have been on behalf of everybody with a BT line, no doubt BT would argue what you pay for the phone line as part of a package is lower with the rest of the amount made up of the broadband cost.....yes it’s a con but proving otherwise is difficult unless we have a whistleblower at BT who spills the beans.
