Question about Line Rental

Hi.
My recent (and previous bills) shows the rental charge for my "Unlimited Evening and Weekend Plan" to be £15.78. But when I look at another BT webpage it says this plan costs £2.99 plus £11.54 line rental, which comes to £14.53.
How come the difference? (which appears to be 8.6%) Is this something to do with Vat?
Thanks.
Solved!

Pure Guess but the £1.25 difference  could be due to you not opting for paperless billing.

  • Question about Movie Rental Times and AirPlay

    Just wondering. I have been sitting with my Apple TV2 since I got it this morning with it saying to download an hd movie. 1920 minutes remaining.I can get a faster download off my computer so that comes to my second question. Can I rent it on my computer and airplay it to my Apple TV?
    Oh and my network speed is 3mbs. Not alot I know... But is that ok?

    Are either of you using a DNS server / name server other than the one provided by your Internet service provider? OpenDNS or Google's DNS service, for instance? (If you don't know what I'm talking about, probably not.) There have been a number of reports suggesting that this can result in slow media downloads due to the way the movie servers try to optimize delivery based on your location, though it's unclear to me how accurate this really is.
    Also, be aware that by default, the new Apple TVs provide "hi-def" rentals from the iTunes store (this is not applicable to Netflix), which means a larger and therefore longer download. To rent standard definition, you have to go into Settings and switch rentals to standard definition.

  • Question about Line Cards

    Hello,

    As you can see, the WS-X4148-RJ is an older line card.  Our other 4510s have 2 of these same older line cards installed and are used for the wired side of our Guest network.  Are there any potential negative results of using these older line cards in these chassis?  The reason we do this is so that we have less switches to manage on our network and don't have to worry about purchasing additional equipment to accommodate our wired guests.
    Thanks!

  • Question about Movie Rentals

    When you rent a movie, how long is the rental good for? When time runs out, does it delete itself from your hard drive? Does it stay on the iPod until you sync or does it stop working there after a certain amount of time?
    Thanks for the answers!

    Does anyone else think 24 hours is too short for a movie rental?
    I watch these on my iPhone when I have time over a 2-3 day period.
    I think 48 should be the minimum and possibly 72 hours.
    Who/where can make concern know to Apple?
    Thanks.

  • Line Rental Query

    Hi there,
    I am thinking of switching to BT for my broadband and phone needs (I am currently waiting for the MAC code from my provider). I have been looking at the BT deals via USWITCH and noticed something listed about Line Rental.
    My query is this:
    I currently get a bill from BT every quarter for my line rental (I kept my line rental with BT when i signed up to my current broadband deal). I assume if I change my phone and broadband package to BT then instead of getting a bill from BT of around £50 per quarter I will be paying £15.45 per month via direct debit for my line rental in place of that?

    You will be on a monthly d/d but you should also have an option to pay upfront for 12 months at an equivalent rate of £10.75pm

  • Annual line rental saver

    Just noticed the fee has gone up from £ 141 to £159.84.

    Whilst this is specifically about line rental I look at the broader picture and BTSport for Free.
    Nothing is ever 'free'  (holidays for kids, meals for kids etc) ... so someone has to pay for free BTSport and this could well be the thin end of the wedge and to those (and I am one of those) who have no interest in Sport may well be paying via backdoor methods like increased line rental and line rental saver for a service we just don't want.
    End of rant!!
    All phone companies put up their line rental and add-on rates, even those who didn't spend money on acquiring sports rights.
    Virgin Media, for example, put theirs up by £1 to £15.99 and increased call charges while Sky increased theirs to £15.45 on December 1st.

  • Questions regarding how I pay my Line Rental Bill ...

    Hi BT,  I'm currently a BE Broadband customer,  I was a BT Broadband customer back in the days when you had BT Home Hub 1.0 and 8mb packages which i was only getting like 5-6mb, 0.3mb upload and constant speed caps on my connection to 1mb.  You guys didn't have true unlimited usage back then so being a gamer and someone that frequently downloads I changed to BE broadband.  They gave me a steady 11mb connection with 1.3mb upload speed which I've been satisfied with.   But now BE Broadband has been sold off to Sky which I don't think I want to be apart of as I've heard a lot of bad feedback and I really do not want to be forced into paying their line rental if I where to switch to Sky Unlimited.  
    So now I'm considering coming back to BT Broadband,  knowing that you've probably improved over the years.  I hope so.  I know you have this whole BT Infinity going now but my area doesn't support fibre optic broadband and probably never will because I've looked on the BT Openreach website and it says there are no plans for my area to be installed with fibre optics which I would of wanted to have but oh well.  What are the chances of my internet speed being the same as it is now with BE Broadband?   I don't see why it would go any slower.   Are your upload speeds around the same?
    Also I have a question regarding the payment methods of your BT Line rental.  I'm currently already on the BT line rental on the anytime calling plan.   I pay the bill quarterly every 3 months, which I'm comfortable with.  What confuses me is when I select the package to order BT Unlimited + Calls I only have the option to select Monthly Line Rental or Line Rental Saver.   Why am I able to pay my phone every 3 months if those are the only two options?   I'd prefrably want to stick to how I pay my phone bill.   So further more how should I go about ordering BT Unlimited broadband without it interfering with my currrent BT line rental?  I just want BT Broadband unlimited along side my current BT line rental method of pay.  Would I still be eligible for the 6 months free and the gift card.  Is the BT Home Hub 4 that comes with it free also?  Also one more question, I'd need my MAC code from BE Broadband right?  

    This is a community forum.  The people on here are other BT customers.
    The speeds have certainly improved but only if BT's equipment at your exchange supports ADSL2/2+.  If not, you'll get what you had before.  While the speeds have improved, the same can't be said for the customer service.  Upload on ADSL2+ can be up to about 1.2M.  On ADSLMax, it's still capped at 448K.
    BT like to combine broadband and phone on one bill.  So if you get line rental and broadband, they will send you one monthly bill for both.  You might be able to get them separately, but not through the web site.  Try sales on 0800 800 150.

  • Why do I have to pay line rental when I have FTTP?

    I don't understand why am I paying for a phone line when I have FTTP (Fibre to the premisies)? that's over £160 a year and I don't even use the copper wiring, and I certainly don't need or want a phone line.

    I've come to this thread a bit late but felt that I had to comment.  The OP has a perfectly valid point.  If he has FTTP, BT should not be forcing him to take an expensive, cash cow phone line.  It's robbery IMO.
    Virgin Media do not force you to take a phone line with their broadband.  A lot of rubbish has been written in this thread about Virgin Media and the bundles have nothing to do with the OP's question.
    My credentials on this are a Virgin Media VIP Bundle user and a BT Infinity/2 user.
    The OP should raise this at a higher level in BT, IMO.

     If John46 has been briefed by BT to provide this answer, then IU'm astonished.  The FTTP exchange equipment has nothing to do with the telephone exchange equipment and the FTTP user should not be expected to subsidise the telephone user by being forced to have a BT phone line.
    If John46 has made the answer up, or is a BT sycophant, say no more.

  • Incomprehensible bills after taking line rental sa...

    On 2 August 2010 we paid for one year's rental to start 24 August 2010, with unlimited calls at £4.99 a month to start from the same date. Our bill dated 12 August correctly showed the advance payment for the year, but also included advance payment for calls at our previous rate of £5.99 a month. When we emailed about this error, BT put us on £4.99 a month for calls from the arbitrary and wrong date of 6 September, and started charging for friends and family mobile. We emailed about that, and were assured the friends and family mobile was a mistake, and we would be credited for the wrong monthly call charges on our next bill.
    This next, 14 November, bill is incomprehensible to us and to numerous BT staff in the call centre. Instead of just charging us for calls (because we have paid a year's line rental up front), BT charges us for a morass of rental+calls packages for various periods, less a morass of credits for rental, plus a mysterious charge (yes, charge) for 'line rental saver 1 Oct to 11 Nov 10', plus a (small but particularly irritating) charge for mobile saver. Numerous emails have resulted in numerous staff in the call centre trying and failing to explain how any of the charges and credits are calculated. We have however been offered a credit (on our next bill) of £14.97 - corresponding to the only item on the November bill which is both correct and intelligible, three months anytime calls 12 Nov to 11 Feb. This would indeed (I think!) ensure that we are not actually being overcharged overall, but we want an intelligible bill, and some compensation for the hours I have wasted attempting to understand the bill and talking to BT staff who don't understand it either.
    I have attempted to complain about this following the complaints procedure on the website, which says you can complain by email. However, the (most courteous) chap in the call centre who has been admitting that the bill is incomprehensible has just phoned to say that such emails just go to the call centre, and to complain I must write to Durham. That also is irritating.

    Hi NicolasL,
    I can have a look here and decipher the bill for you.
    Could you send an email in please with your BT account and telephone number along with a link back to this thread.
    Just send to the email address in my profile and mark FAO Craig please.

  • Telephone number for Line Rental Saver for FTTP cu...

    Hi all
    Looking for a telephone number that'd allow us to renew the Line Rental Saver package that we currently have. We have FTTP so renewal on the website is a bust and regular BT phone support does not handle FTTP customers.
    If anyone knows the number and the possible hours the line works that'd be awesome.
    Thanks
    Mr Zipf
    <TL;DR>
    BT sent an email today from [email protected] today suggesting renewal of Line Rental Saver. When trying to renew online the website says "yours is not a BT number" even though it's unchanged for years. Attempted to renew on the telephone and got through to human in a couple of minutes only to be told I needed to speak to the corresponding team in FTTP and spent 30 minutes on hold thereafter and the hold music was freaking annoying. Then called back a while later to ask for the telephone number and told I could have it if putting us through failed. After 15 minutes on hold, I hit a hard deadline that was mentioned up front. Sigh!
    </TL;DR>

    Hi MrZipf,
    Thanks for your post and welcome back!
    Sorry you're having problems renewing your line rental saver package online and for the length of time you've spent on the phone trying to get this sorted out.
    No need to worry as I can help get you sorted from here.  Click on my username and under the "about me" section of my profile you'll see the link to get in touch with us.

  • Broadband-only line rentals / getting a line recon...

    Hi all, 
    I recently moved into a new flat, and I've been having a few problems getting an internet connection (my initial problems were detailed here: http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Out-About/BT-WiFi-disappeared-yesterday/td-p/646692). I'm a student, and thus very new to the business of sorting out my own telecommunications, so please bear with me:
    1) The flat has a telephone socket in the wall. I've been trying to establish whether this is active but disconnected or dead altogether, but the landlord is all but uncontactable, so I haven't yet received an answer. I'm assuming it's just disconnected, but I still need to know. Obviously, I need to get it reconnected. What would be the best way to go about doing this? BT's help section on what to do when you move home is of no use to me, since I'm not an existing BT customer (and, indeed, wasn't previously renting a line from anyone). 
    2) It goes without saying that I don't need a landline phone. BT do do broadband-only line rentals, don't they? 
    Many thanks in advance for your help. 

    The simple answer to your question is NO BT do not do Broadband only line as Broadband is sold as a Package Phone and Broadband Sorry

  • Signing up for Line Rental Saver online

    I'm having the same problem other people appear to be having in that I'm unable to sign up for Line Rental Saver online. The link takes me to the Unlimited Anytime Calls signup page and there is no indication of being able to sign up for Line Rental Saver even if I sign up for Unlimited Anytime calls.
    Other threads have suggested contacting the forum moderator which I have done but three days later all I have is an acknowledgement of my email.
    I tried to discuss this using Chat Online which was terminated by the operator and a follow up phone call proved to be a waste of time.  As I signed up for the Unlimited Evening and Weekend calls package over the phone ages ago and the order was never processed (I'm still on Weekend calls only) I'm happier not having to deal with a call centre as BT don't seem to want to provide any kind of customer service.
    I'm tempted to walk away from my contract which was recently rolled-over by BT, what penalty charges will I incur if I switch to another provider?

    Hi auntyannie,
    I can see your email is in the queue so I'll get back to you as soon as possible about this.

    TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    SQL>
    OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
    Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
    So, here is how I proceed
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;  -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
    SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
    VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
    VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
    VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
    -- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
    BEGIN
        SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
        FROM v$session
        WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
    END;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    -- Just check to see the result
    SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
        :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
           129   1067
    SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
    SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
    the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
    BEGIN
        SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
        FROM v$session
        WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
    END;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
    :SAVED_SQL_ID
    9babjv8yq8ru3
    SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
    SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
    FROM v$sql
    WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
    CHILD_NUMBER   SQL_ID          SQL_TEXT
    0              9babjv8yq8ru3    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
    SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
    After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
    Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
    This was precisely what I did
    SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
    and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
    are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
    Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
    thanks in advance,

    Hi Dariyoosh,
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
    Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
    Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
    1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it <b>to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement</b>. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
    2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.
