BT, it seems, are at it again. Not wanting to be left out of the price rise melee going on all around them, they have decided to raise their prices once again, with the changes coming into effect from January 2013, when all customers will be forced to pay an extra 5.9% for their broadband and phone 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 area most affected by the forthcoming price rises will be line rental where prices will increase 85 pence per month, from 14.60 to 15.45, and connection costs which will increase from 13.1 p to 13.87 p 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
It is clear to all in the know that Voip is the future of communication in both the business and residential world's, with the benefits they offer far outweighing that of their analogue based predecessors. So what are you waiting for? If it's another price rise then hang on, because there will be another one just around the corner. But if it's better quality and cheaper phone calls, then the answer can only be Voip.
