How do BT and PN prices (the real ones, not new customer offers) fit together for the various service levels? The reason for my question is that I wonder if it could be a way to lessen the attractiveness of PN's lower level offer, so making customers consider BT instead, were any cost uplift not too severe.
Other matters like the drop in service standards too, could they be part of an effort to merge PN completely with BT? Of course in doing that, they carry the risk that the group will lose clients to other ISPs. Some will have moved anyhow, but provided the risk-reward looks good, why not?
