I agree that the landline price rise is a rip-off. However, that cost doesn't disappear if you don't use your phone. It would be more appropriate to include it in the cost of broadband but no one's going to do that; in fact the trend at the moment from ADSL providers seems to be to whack up the cost of the landline to keep the headline broadband offers looking very cheap.
I get the impression that on this occasion, the price rises are really making people think. Previous comments on price rises have been along the lines it's only a few quid a month, I can afford it, look at all the new channels we have (forgetting to multiply that rise by 12 months or several years) but this time around I detect a more rebellious approach kicking in. Are people not swayed by the exclusive offering of ITV Be in HD? :D

l think more people will run away rather then watch that rubbish Andrew.
