Story: BT slashes Wi-Fi tariffs

BT OpenZone forgot to mention that the price had DOUBLED for low-end subscribers.

At the moment I get 120 mins/month for £10 - which is absolutely perfect for what I need. The amount of time suits me, as I only use it to pick up or send emails when I'm out and about - I never web browse or compose emails while I'm connected.

4000 minutes is serious overkill. So I have a choice. I can pay £25 for more time than I want (£15 more than I'm currently paying), or choose PAYG and pay £24 for the same 120 minutes I get now. Either way, the cost to me more than doubles.

Unfortunately BT OpenZone seem to have forgotten that customers do have other choices. I'm cancelling my sub at the end of September (when the old tarriffs cease). I think it's a crying shame.
