Bt screws up (3rd dec price hikes) but refuses lia...

Well i contacted bt as I tried to cancel my line and was told I would have to wait until i was notified , Recieved not 1 but 2 letters in december (one on the 2nd one on the 5th) Apologising that they had tried but failed to email me Tried again to cancel and was told i havd already been notified and was outside the 10 day period. (so strike 1 the letters confirmed i hadn't been reached no legally notified.)
so i emailed a complaint into bt and the following excerpts as taken from the email
"To help publicise the changes we briefed the media in late August and on 1st September we published the increased prices on www.bt.com. Personalised price quotes were also available online for broadband and bundles from mid-October. In your case, as an e-biller, when you received your e-bill alert on 2nd October information about the price changes was contained in the ‘My Phone’ section as well as web pages displaying the price point of any impacted products. "
So to ignore the letter that was sent confirming BT's error they then justified the fact it was briefed to the "media" , thats not notifying people if they don't read said media or specialised tv program? or are we supposed to read and watch things in the media now incase a company decides to "notify" us by that method and not directly(as ofcom regs state) also none of that "media" included the loss of online billing discount.
"Putting these changes into place has been very complex and some of our customers may not have received one month’s individual notice of the recent price changes. We apologise for this.
I note you were aware, from the BT forums, of the 3rd December price changes. I appreciate that it was frustrating for you not being able to immediately cancel when you first became aware of the changes. We will look into this though so that the process is improved in future. "
So they are aware they have breached ofcom regulations are sorry for it but refuse to act on it? (this forums not legal notification as its a customer forum and chinese whispers tend to change details)
And the fact I wasn't able to cancel , is "frustrating" .... its a shady practice to say the very least.
So they accept that some/many customers were not notified (hence why they sent the letter out ONE day pre price hike) But then hold people to the day their system "sent out" these mythical notifications that many didn't recieve...... and refer people to the e-bill which many only found the price hike notification in after viewing 5-6 unrelated hyperlinks.....
roll on contract end is all i can say , overpriced cowboys seems to be Bt's current ethos.

Hi Ook,

DSL Price Hike

When I started my DSL plan with Verizon in 2008, it was around 17 or 19 dollars. Over the years, it gradually rose to around $23, which seemed reasonalble though a little high given the level of inflation. However, last year, it jumped by $10 to $33. And now, this month, it jumped to $43. What the heck is going on?!? Are there no regulations governing this kind of gross hyper profiteering over the phone lines that relie on public property access? Verizon is a monopoly in my neighborhood and they don't offer Fios here, not that I would get it after being treated so callously by them with these excessive price increases. My download speed is usually less than 0.90 mps., not worth the crazy price I'm being charged. I have no other DSL choice in my building, so the only other choice is a cable-internet-only plan that is advertised cheaper than my current DSL plan and supposedly faster (or so they claim). I don't like the cable company, but after the shabby way Verizon is treating me, I am considering switching. I guess my question to the community forum is this: Are there no regulations regarding price changes (and other than the first price change around 2010, unwarned or preannounced as well)? Thanks.

Regulations on broadband are a bit limited in the scope at which they cover. Pricing is a bit of a regulatory grey area. Data caps are not entirely covered, and the pricing is enforced based on whether or not the government views pricing as "anti-competitive." Throttling is covered extensively with Net Neutrality.
Complain to the FCC if you are not seeing service improvements but are seeing higher prices. Over my way, Verizon has not installed any new gear for the DSL to improve service in over 10 years out in the field, so they have little means of justifying a price hike for what was always existing. Maybe installing a Juniper ERX1440 in the CO counts, but those were put in around a decade ago as well.

Nothing is working on my 3rd gen ipod touch but the home button. It's not sliding or anything. I've tried resetting and restoring it. Did not work

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

End of Contract Huge Price Hike

Earlier this year (April 2013) I was offered the chance to upgrade my Broadband to BT Infinity free of charge with a promise on the letter of no change to my contract or price increases. Although the speed difference from standard Broadband (15-17mb) to Infinity (24mb) wasn't huge I upgraded. With my line rental and call plans the monthly bill came to around £30.00
To my horror, when I checked my bill this month the cost had risen to £45.00. It turns out that my annual contract had ended and I was now paying full price for the Infintiy.
When I rang to complain I was told the offer was for 12 month - I tried to explain that I had only had the Infinity since April but they did not appear to understand.
BT have always managed to offer a discount on my package, but it appears that I am no longer eligable for any discounts despite being a customer for over 25 years. The best offer they could give me was to cancel my Infinity and move back to Broadband.
I am seriously annoyed having being conned into thinking I would get Infinity at the discounted rate for 12 months, and because Sky will charge me £50 to move to them I'm stuck with BT.
Having also been the victim of the direct debit date change BT are in serious danger of loosing another loyal customer.
Poor service form a company who could not care less about their customers.

They have done something similar to me, I was paying £25.50 for my broadband even though the price was lowered to £16 a month for my package but they never changed the price of my package to reflect that even though I was several months out of contract.
I asked them to put my price inline with what was currently payable and they agreed but placed me on another 12 month contract but they also agreed to lower my line rental to £11 a month as a good will gesture.
12 months on my contract period has expired but they have decided to put my price up to £25.50p (for the option 3 £16pcm contract) again........
I asked why they did this when I had asked for my price to be brought into line with current prices and they told me it had been a mistake and I was put on a reduced price contract instead of having the price brought into line by mistake (the lady admits this is a mistake).
They said they can lower the price again but will be subject to another 12 month contract.
Lol

Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd ten apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions

Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd gen apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions?

How old is the MacBook Pro? AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

Why the Price Hike?

What's the deal with the price hike to $1.30 for a song?
There is no sound quality difference, I don't care what the Plus thing is supposed to be for.

DSL price increase but no FIOS available

I've seen some comments that if there is no FIOS available in your area that they don't increase your DSL price. But I've had a $5 increase last Fall and another $7 increase this month. I live in a condo, and FIOS is not available in our bldg. So why should I have to pay for a DSL increase? Any suggestions? Comcast is starting to look like a reasonable option.

What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

My airport card is activated but refuses to be connected at any local network

r My airprot card is activated but refuses to be connected at any local network even when i do enter the correct password (wep key). I want to know if the problem is my airport card or something else.
thank you for your answering

You don't want a WEP based network. Those are easily cracked. If your network is WEP, it may have already been cracked, and someone changed the password. Change it to WPA2. If you are stuck with an 802.11b device on the network, hook it up via ethernet based 802.11g or better wireless/ethernet router.

Try restoring the iPhone from recovery mode.
If that doesn't do it, the iPhone will beed to be sent back to Apple for repair, head on over to the Service Answer Center for the iPhone.

You should be able to put Launchpad back in the Dock by dragging it from the Applications folder to the left section of the Dock. As to why it won't launch, run the Console utility, try to run Launchpad, and see if any messages appear in the Console window.

Why do you use email to contact me but refuse to accept my email

Hi
I understand that email can be a very convenient and effective way of communication; however The FCC has strict regulations on how wireless carriers can ask and receive customer information.
If you need assistance with an account or billing issue and you’re overseas you can always chat live or call our international support number free from your AT&T mobile at +1.916.843.4685.
Thanks,
Charise

Why do I have to use Facebook, tweeter or this goofy community service instead of email? Why do you use my email address to contact me but refuse to accept email In return? Just like you, I also prefer the ease and convenience of email. Would you prefer I setup my own social network and require you to post your bills to it??! Email is ubiquitous and--unlike your service--it works perfectly overseas.
