Telewest On BTs 'Radical' New Pricing
Posted: 02nd Apr, 2003 By: MarkJ
The UKs second largest cable operator, Telewest, has today hit back at BTs 'radical' new voice line pricing scheme:
BT gets radical ... two years later
Gavin Patterson, managing director of Telewest Broadband, said: "This is yet another example of BT waking from its cosy slumber and attempting to follow our lead, but they are hardly ringing the changes with this announcement.
It accuses competitor's pricing claims of being 'plain misleading' because they're based on standard rate comparisons, yet it has done exactly the same today. Our Talk Unlimited, Talk Evenings & Weekends and Talk International packages, which BT has conveniently overlooked, still offer phone users genuine savings.
By BT's own admittance, consumers are clamouring for lower, less complicated call charges and that's exactly what we've been offering for nearly two years now. We've got over 360,000 customers on unlimited packages who know they've dialled the best deal.
By not comparing like for like, BT is simply clouding the issue further and continuing to offer consumers second best."
