40% price rise for me!!

I have been looking around for a new deal either with PN or another.
Plusnet = £281 for year (todays rates)
Talk talk = £230 for a year (todays rates)
Obviously I want good value and the increase from plusnet is over 40% for the same service without the October price increase!
When I spoke with PN customer retentions (they gave me the new deal) they told me that although my exchange is unbundled to TT they have to charge market one rates and that TT all providers have to do the same, is this true or are PN just telling me a white lie! TT website gave me the new figures when I gave it my details.
Any advise.... I live in a rural area with no cable and high BT costs.
Thanks

If your exchange is market 1, all ISPs that use that exchange via BT will have to pay BT Wholesale a higher cost.
I'm not sure how pricing works for LLU based supliers (like TalkTalk).

Seems like PN just wants to fleece existing customers this just increases "churning"

As they have to buy service from Openreach I would imagine that cost may also be higher on those types of exchanges.

The price of your package would normally be £19.99 as opposed to the £8.99 you are currently paying for your broadband. The prices to your broadband product are not increasing, merely that your discount period is coming to an end.

You haven't been lied to, just a misunderstanding.

He say that TT will have to charge the market one rate and the TT and broadband choices web sites are incorrect and he know best.

The problem is that OFCOM have not updated the market classification list for several years so that exchanges that should be now Mkt 2/3 are still shown on PN's database as Mkt 1 -so Mkt 1 (higher) prices!!
Several of us have been banging our heads on this particular brick wall for some time!!
I have a 12 month deal ending next June and its likely that I'll be forced onto Sky/TT if the current deal is not re-offered.

Its all very well and good blaming OFFCOM for this mess, but why arent plusnet complaining/protesting/lobbyinig offcom/giving iffcom a severe kick up the backside to get things sorted.
Plusnets silence on this is very telling, basically they dont give a flying fuck and are happy to let customers pay significantly more as they cant be arsed to lobby offcom to get things sorted.
Sometime in September i will be able to get fibre, but have you seen the extortionate rates plusnet charge on market 1 exchanges?
When my line rental saver is up in November i shall seriously be considering moving to an LLU provider, as BT wholesale are not the sole provider of bbroadband at my local market 1 exchange, sdespite what plusnet and its oh-so- cosy relationship with OFFCOM may say.
