Rejected petition Phone land-line rental charges
More details
Why do we pay a monthly (£14.95) line rental charge to BT?. We do not have to pay a monthly charge for our gas/water pipes, or our electricity lines, so why land-lines!
These charges are substaintial to an average family, or indeed to an average person, and there is no justification, whatsoever, for their existence. Over to you BT (and others)
The government should ban these scams, for that is what they are......
