1151825 2010-11-10 04:25:00 I believe it's something to do with < 1000 homes in the area.

1151829 2010-11-10 18:47:00 The price Telecom can charge customers will be different in rural areas with naked DSL Providing a service does cost more in a rural area and this is subsidised at present if you have an active phone number and the cost is the same whereever you are.
With naked DSL the same price policy does not apply and the extra cost reflectes the cost of maintaining rural lines

You might as well get normal BB with a phone line as there is not much difference in price compared to naked DSL

The lines are sometimes not as good due to distances and we pay more.
Perfect business and makes sense:eek:
