Imminent Ofcom Market Re-Classification and Plusnet Pricing

[#1]

That isn't a valid comparison
You have to take line rental from TalkTalk if you want their fibre and if you take the line rental from Plusnet then the price drops to £19.99

Or you could say it's a fair comparison of the giant writing in all the various ISP ads.
While ignoring the teeny tiny small print.
Something which is long overdue a close scrutiny by the ASA.

£19.99?  dont know where you get that from

I assumed you were comparing prices where Plusnet aren't screwed by the OFCOM mandated base cost

[#5]

Perhaps Plusnet should market outside low cost areas as £19.99 + £3.00 OFCOM premium.

[#6]

Every ISP that still applies the OFCOM premium should do that!

- despite the old Market 1/2/3 pricing scheme theoretically coming to an end on 31st March.

So here we are in April.  What's the basis for the theory that the Market 1/2/3 scheme has now ended?  Can I persuade Plusnet of this?

yorkshire born, and yorkshire bred strong in the arm and....

My ALR/broadband deal finishes end June so if nothing happens by then, I shall ,no doubt, be talking to Customer Retentions -especially as I have had yet another flyer from Sky offering 12 months free broadband if I move my rental and calls.
Reckon Sky will cost me ~ £8 pm more for the telephone elements......but no cost vs £16.99 pm for Mkt1 unlimited ADSL 2+ would be a no brainer.
