Is it just a cynic's viewpoint that the continued wait for inclusive mobile calls, and the end of genuine free caller display and free BT1571, is purely uncoincidental considering that BT Sport, which is free, has now come on the scene?
Don't forget to mention the increase in line rental as well.
It would be financial suicide for BT to not try and scrape back the cash it has lost to paying for the sports rights and by offering BT sport for free it looks like, as you have noticed, they are slowly getting the cash from other areas of their business. Effectively they are now cross-subsidising.
I expect that some of the other landline CPs that currently don't charge extra for caller display, to start charging and use the excuse like aligning our prices with BT
