"" Hello,
We wanted to let you know that the price you pay for your broadband and calls will be going up on 2 April 2017. We've put the changes into a simple table for you below.

Even though some of your prices are increasing, you won't have to pay any extra for your line rental as we're committed to keeping it at the same price for the whole of 2017. ""

Yes, well, on that last point the only reason the line rental is not going up is because IT'S A REGULATED PRODUCT AND THE REGULATOR WON'T ALLOW YOU TO PUT THE PRICE UP!!!

Not a bad finish -- 300p seems good support. Would be nice to see it north of 310 soon.

I prefer Vod to BT

I do not feel comfortable with SIV, poster above, I get the feeling that the co. has lost its grip on all those businesses its accumulated, half of them look like they are performing the same role, but more importantly is its debt to equity, and all those intangibles, major writedowns there I rather think, Tactical Solutions seems to have lost its role in retail the way the bricks and mortar side is heading!

Perhaps now😀

At some point this is going to rip higher...

exlogicalad: Your last 2 posts on this thread are truly priceless:

'excel1..I left BT for a better job with a better company, BT is a shambles and I really do not care if you believe it or not. I would put BT on a par with Marconi and you may remember what happened there.'

'I may buy when they are 250p in a few weeks time, but then again there are far better investments without the sleepless nights.'

No wonder you have sleepless nights with such confused thinking.

I like (and have and hold) both!

[montyhedge] 02/2/2017 11:48

BT 20% gain even just back to 360p as opposed Vod 5% fall coming.That's why I like BT.

[lurker] 02/2/2017 11:47

Bought more this morning at 305

(Been buying from 310 to 303 over last few days

Happy to hold forever if they go down...

Happy to consider selling at 350-400 sometime in the next few weeks, months or years (really don't care when as I may keep holding anyway)

I may sell when they are 350p in a few weeks time

[declan2] 02/2/2017 10:40

SIV also well oversold after recent falls, worth a look.

Around 5% yield and likely 20-30% upside in 2017 is a rare opportunity even without the possibility of a mutually value-enhancing merger with Deutsche Telecom so added some more today.Good luck all.

[luisfrg] 02/2/2017 08:54

..exactly....

[montyhedge] 02/2/2017 08:37

Rather have BT than Vod, BT recovery, Vod ex growth.

[hash tag thegrimreaper] 02/2/2017 08:36

NO, all the time!

[romeoandjuliet] 02/2/2017 08:33

I've see that happen on BT before where it spikes downward just to catch the day traders and close their stops Crooked system at times

[hash tag thegrimreaper] 02/2/2017 08:22

We still may see that gap closed @ 280p, don't bet against it!

[hash tag thegrimreaper] 02/2/2017 08:21

That's correct, too many longs in CREST.................

[luisfrg] 02/2/2017 08:18

And yet BT heads Down Monty

[montyhedge] 02/2/2017 08:16

Great good for shareholders, looks like EE could be taking some Vod customers going by Vod results in my view.

[nickg2] 01/2/2017 21:20

Yes they are

[diku] 01/2/2017 20:04

Are broadband & call prices going up from April?...

[ascoyne] 01/2/2017 20:02

The new Chair of Openreach Mike McTighe has declared that BT hasn't invested enough in broadband in recent years and hints that he doesn't think the outstanding issue of assets and staff being moved from BT Group to Openreach is a major concern.



He also states that

"Under the latest voluntary proposals, Clive Selley, the network unit’s chief executive, will report to Mr McTighe rather than to Gavin Patterson, BT’s chief executive except on “matters relating to BT’s responsibilities as a publicly listed company”.

Ofcom still not happy there are still issues about ownership of assets and staff. McTighe says he'll stay out of that discussion but that "I have run multinationals. Never once have I worried about the legal structure and what assets are where.”

I'm not sure if Ofcom accept the management structure proposed since they wanted no contact by Clive Selley with Gavin Patterson originally.
