Have you looked at your bill to see what the charges are for?

Your £50 bill must come from somewhere.

Monthly phone line rental , broadband costs, phone call costs are just some of the things that the bill will show. Those are all charges and are shown individually on the bill.

So checking the bill will show you were the money is being spent.

A sample bill is like this

So you can clearly see where the money is being spent.

The call charges breakdown per bill is shown in the Phone section of the member centre.

Re: plus net broadband and fone

Where do you get the £18.99 from?  That sounds awfully like the recent new customer promotion where ADSL was in effect being given away within low cost areas.  If you are not in a discounted area (in Market A) then your broadband charge might be higher.

You can expect your total bill to be made up of...

  • Line rental
  • Call plan
  • Phone service (CLI etc)
  • Phone call charges for calls outside of the plan
  • Broadband
  • Broadband excess usage charge (If you are on a legacy measured tariff)

As SLT advises see your bill for the break down

Re: plus net broadband and fone

So to be clear, is the £50 bill you refer to your normal monthly bill … or an exceptional one having a BT callout charge?

The call out charge is usually only applicable if they find a fault with your equipment / wiring.  Note that aside for the higher speed band fibre, you do not pay according to speed.  Speed is what it is, dependent on where you live, not the service offer.

 

This needs staff input - sight of a VR plot would be useful.

@rogerjowett

The ticket that we've linked above advises the reason for these charges. Remember, if you are making calls outside of your allowance then a call plan is a much cheaper option than paying per call.

Re: plus net broadband and fone

If you were for example charged over £30.00 for landline calls you could have had an unlimited land line call plan added for  £8.00 that also included some mobile calls. saving you significant amounts.

 

You can do this yourself through member centre Smiley
