wipo1,

You are presumably in year 1 of a fibre broadband contract and yet to appreciate BT tricks such as tempting you to renew and upgrade from BT Infinity 1 to 2 on a two-year £15 contract (cheaper than renewing Infinity 1) that suddenly sees a £2 price rise but you face £ penalties if you want to switch - all within rules of BT's small print of course.

What were the BT board, finance departments, internal audit, external audit doing? Not very much by the sound of it - these are big numbers. The Tesco fiasco could be said to be sector related at a stretch - but BT is something different.

Incompetence will stick for a while to the organisation.

Probably see another ten percent drop from today's closing price
early tomorrow morning. At which point I might have a quick trade.

wipo, they own EE, dabs.com, openreach etc

I can't see how BT make money, I got unlimited fibre with free bt sports for £10.99 a month and £100 cashback. Ok I am guessing they get a good margin from the line rental but fibre broadband must be running at a loss?

They could settle down around 280p after Friday. It was not Italy but slowdown in business that worries me. To me disguised profit warning. Let's wait and see.

[mj19] 24/1/2017 10:58

Will they cut divi soon

[kirk2] 24/1/2017 10:58

330p today

[smurfy2001] 24/1/2017 10:55

Profit warnings tend to come in 3's. Given the amount they charge on broadband shocking really. BT needs an efficiency drive.

Tip of the iceburg, if mis-selling into the Italian markets then CONSOB will investigate audit findings with heavy penalties to follow!

Interesting to see what the 3 "buy" brokers for this month, come out with now ..jeez!

[bookbroker] 24/1/2017 10:44

That's a tight gap!

[ny boy] 24/1/2017 10:42

Ok Monty🙄

[skinny] 24/1/2017 10:41

Will the gap be filled?

[tim 3] 24/1/2017 10:40

2.1 divi cover according to advfn,assuming that before this news.

[montyhedge] 24/1/2017 10:38

Be careful press comments and downgrades.

[isis] 24/1/2017 10:31

5-6% Divs around this price.

[bigboots] 24/1/2017 10:28

Around here would expect chatter re bid talks

[mali7] 24/1/2017 10:24

First batch buy 311p, looking to hold few years, for the growing DIV plan
The cheaper it gets will load more...Good luck all

If you in to make money tomorrow - DONT BUY - sentiment and pressure is down and they will drag it down till the last scalper is puked out, then boom up...not there yet, still need to test weak longs

[ny boy] 24/1/2017 10:20

Well I only get a derisory % interest rate at el banco, do happy to park a chunk of funds here just for a better rate of return on cash.

[kirk2] 24/1/2017 10:16

FUNDS WILL PILE IN , AND THE YANKS WILL JOIN THE PARTY AT 2.30. CLOSE 235

[mozy123] 24/1/2017 10:15

10% free cash flow yield. Cheap as chips

[sr2day] 24/1/2017 10:15

300p may be tested sometimes this week.

[longshanks] 24/1/2017 10:15

I will play it by ear. Uncomfortable downward trend has to be broken - but thus could be a low water mark.Good dividend expected to rise by 10% for the next two years should give good support though.
