But if like me you have crossed over to Localtel keeping the same line -number-benifits-+10%less than B.T and free internet access 6.00 pm to 8.00am weekdays and all weekend free as well, that would just not matter! :)

Your'e right. But then not everyone went over to LocalTel - and I hear Tel - that they let down and awful lot of people "and thousands are coming back every day"!.

Still, everyone to their own choice.

Still a bloody rip off! Roll on free local calls.
On the subject of breaking BT's stanglehold, Eurobell are pretty good, all UK calls are charged at local rates!

I spoke to BT today. They will be releasing a new offer at the end of March or beginning of April. For about £7 per month you get unlimited free access in the evenings or at weekends to ANY internet service provider not just BT’s server, as is the case with the existing offer. Or for a bit more you can get unlimited free access 24hrs per day. I for one will wait for these offers, as it should save me quite a few pennies.

There really is no need to wait. You can sign up to BTi and then cancel with one months notice. Gives you the best of both worlds.
