It does stink though, caller display doesn't represent any new investment in technology. They are making their customers pay for something that has been a standard feature ever since they retired their mechanical telephone exchanges and which doesn't cost them anything to supply.
I re-registered, but they stated "From 4 January 2014, the price will be £1.75 a month."
