July 14th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

It appears that the confusion surrounding purchase of home phone service in the UK may finally be coming to an end. Anyone and everyone who has ever attempted to decipher the complexity involved in choosing a home phone provider will be thrilled to learn that Home Phone Choices has compiled hundreds of hours of research so as to offer visitors to their website a free comparison of all the available home phone service in the UK. On their website at homephonechoices.co.uk, users are invited to use a free home phone comparison tool. All that is required is to type in their Post Code and select the general requirements for their service. Within seconds a complete evaluation of all the major home phone providers are displayed. More importantly that display is localised for any address in the United Kingdom. This last factor is essential as often prices and service vary from place to place in the UK. For example, it is not uncommon to discover that the price of home phone service is cheaper in Bristol than Central London. Fine one thinks, there are different companies serving the two cities. Yes, there are several companies servicing each city but the price disparity is often within one company’s service rates.

This leaves a scenario where home phone and broadband can cost more from the very same company just because of location. If one lives in an area served only by a BT landline this may not be a factor. But with new options such as Post Office home phone service being available one should definitely compare prices for all communications with a stop at homephonechoices.co.uk.

The BT landline monopoly seems to be ended

July 12th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

British Telecom is mightily fighting to hold onto its share of the UK home phone service marketplace. With competition encroaching from all sides, BT is offering all kinds of new incentives to regain customers lost to companies such as Primus and Vonage. Recent offers include unlimited calls for nights and weekends and free broadband for three months. It all may sound super but British Telecom still insists that every customer pay £11.25 for the rental of a BT landline. This last is BT’s mainstay, as they charge every home phone service company in the nation save one for use of their copper cables. How then is the BT grip coming to an end? Two affronts are gradually placing BT in a position where they will eventually have to lower their base pricing. The first is the bundling of home phone service with low cost providers of broadband.

Companies such as the Post Office Home Phone and Primus are undercutting BT’s rates even with the added expense of having to pay BT for use of lines. Still the bigger threat to BT’s landline monopoly comes from Virgin Media and their shiny new grid of fibre optic cables.

These super speed communications lines eliminate the need for any BT association whatsoever. And because fibre optics carry data much faster, Virgin can even bundle home phone and broadband with TV.
