BT offered SDSL in my area from May of this year. SDSL is a beefed up ADSL with high speeds in both directions. The charge was £1,000 per month.

In June they installed it, but I explained after two weeks that it was no longer required, due to the client requiring it having gone bust. I sent all the equipment back and they confirmed that the line had never been used.

They insisted that I would need to pay £12,000 for a year's contract!! I explained that nobody told me I needed to sign up for a year--I checked the original emails and it says nothing about twelve months.

They won't back down so I'm reporting the whole matter to Ofcom--can you imagine the balls to rip someone off for that much loot? Their only expense was sending an engineer out for 30 minutes--a guy who made it clear he was also mightily teed off with BT as an employer.
