Re: Price Changes - 1st February 2007 - Itemised Billing Charge

I've solve the problem by switching all my calls to Skype, cancelling my itemised billing and insisting Telewest start sending an old fashion paper bill. So who did it cost this time? Please all do the same. With Skype you can see itemised bill anytime and it's up to date.

Skype seem to be catching up with the other bandits now by introducing connection charges but it is telewest that takes the biscuit with a 9 pence charge just to know the other person is on the line or not answering. Now that's daylight robbery. So that's why all the telecoms companies give free answering service. Nice money.

There alt to be a warning that you are about to be transferred to a answering service. What's wrong with the old fashion number engage signal?

For you 30 something’s (Ant and Deck look a likes) it was a rapid single toned sound. I might suggest the sound of money chinking could be a good warning you are just about to be transfered.
You are more likely to spot a Tory in Sainsbury's. Waitrose is the Lib Dem shop of choice (well round here at any rate).

Must admit my biggest peeve is the BB faults. It almost feels like your time on the phone is being deliberately lengthened by the (occasionally helpful) tech person at the other end of the line.
