So i assume this is good news for idnet? If so and its approved by the EU, will the price drop pass onto Idnet customers?

We can't comment on behalf of IDNet, but it looks like we're only talking about 30p/month or so at best.

Only a c30p drop and still BT are complaining. Grief.

Rik · Feb 07, 2012, 15:55:28

Ah, but it's a lot of them as far as BT are concerned.

peasblossom · Feb 07, 2012, 15:58:34

They're big enough!

Rik · Feb 07, 2012, 15:59:23

Too big.

peasblossom · Feb 07, 2012, 16:00:26

Definitely!

As Rik said. These day's it's all about the numbers, or the amount of olives in the jar. If they could take out a grain of salt from the shaker to save money they would!
So all BT see is 30p times the number of customers times "all the months of the year" times infinity = a lot of money!
I was in a job where the seconds you spent on a call mattered so much to them they'd consider firing you. Really, if I take 2 more seconds than the next person saying "thank you for calling" why worry? I still spent another 5 mins waiting for the next customer to show up either way.
