But they&#8217;re only able to do that by operating off some very thin margins, which is partly why the ISP lodged a formal competition complaint with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> earlier this year and accused <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> of &#8220;<em>abusing a dominant position<\/em>&#8221; in its supply of superfast broadband (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/05\/ofcom-to-probe-bt-after-talktalk-fttc-broadband-competition-complaint.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Ofcoms May 2013 Statement on TalkTalks Complaint<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> has received a complaint from TTG alleging that BT has been abusing a dominant position in breach of the Chapter II prohibition in the Act and Article 102 TFEU in relation to the supply of superfast broadband (\u2018SFBB\u2019). Specifically, TTG alleges that BT has failed to maintain a sufficient margin between its upstream costs and downstream prices, thereby operating an abusive margin squeeze<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> are expected to announce the outcome of their initial probe, which will decide whether or not to pursue a deeper investigation, before the end of this year. In the meantime TalkTalk&#8217;s boss has just told the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ft.com\/cms\/s\/0\/272c6fa0-31ae-11e3-a16d-00144feab7de.html#axzz2hPYLjFhC\" target=\"_blank\">FT<\/a> that she thinks the price that ISPs are charged should be cut in half from the current level.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Dido Harding, CEO of TalkTalk, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>We pay \u00a37.50-\u00a38 per home per month for a superfast broadband connection. We think this should be \u00a34. BT is acting anti-competitively \u2013 we think they are charging too much at the wholesale level, where it is making all its money<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to BTOpenreach, the standard annual rental for BT&#8217;s 40Mbps (2Mbps upload) FTTC product is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/orpg\/home\/products\/pricing\/loadProductPriceDetails.do?data=yzq%2FQaGYa3hVgsB2ZYfjHxzfISuq3px%2FWFtgATP2kPRZ6rNZujnCs99NbIKJZPD9hXYmiijxH6wr%0ACQm97GZMyQ%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>\u00a382.80 +vat<\/strong><\/a> (\u00a36.9 per month), which doesn&#8217;t include any extras (e.g. profit margin, usage allowances etc.) that are usually added on top. This rises to \u00a3119.40 for the 80Mbps (20Mbps) option but prices can differ slightly for various reasons.<\/p>\n<p>However, even if Ofcom did find in favour of TalkTalk\u2019s complaint, then it seems almost inconceivable that the price would end up dropping to <strong>\u00a34<\/strong> as a direct result of intervention by the telecoms regulator. It is possible that such a price might be achieved over the much longer term through improved competition and related regulator changes but short time it&#8217;s simply too dramatic, too soon.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile BT maintains that its fibre products are offered on a \u201c<em>level playing field<\/em>\u201d to all ISP and they \u201d<em>completely refute the basis<\/em>\u201d of TalkTalk&#8217;s competition complaint, which they state bear \u201c<em>little resemblance to the actual costs incurred<\/em>\u201c (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/05\/bt-completely-refutes-talktalk-commission-study-of-its-uk-fttc-isp-prices.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).
