Customers will also get 100 minutes of Anytime UK calls (local and national calls cost just 2.50p per minute thereafter and no call connection fee is applied).<\/p>\n<p>According to a brief press release, 99p Stores hopes this offer will push them into the &#8220;<em>mainstream<\/em>&#8220;, but it&#8217;s probably not going to worry their rivals like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/directsavetelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Direct Save Telecom<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> too much.. yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing the UK Internet access market has in abundance right now is budget broadband ISPs and thus you&#8217;d probably have to be a little mad to launch another one into such an aggressively competitive sector.
