Ofcom is about to reset the price of LLU – these are the products that most UK ISPs rely on to offer broadband services.
We are really worried that the telecoms regulator Ofcom is going to let BT get away with charging excessive LLU prices that could result in you paying £20 to £30 a year more than you should do for your broadband. Openreach – the part of BT that runs the access network – is already making huge profits above Ofcom’s target rate. These rises will in effect mean you will being taxed to fund even more excess profits for BT. These LLU price rises will make us probably the most expensive in Europe (and possibly the laughing stock too).
