IT was interesting to read the letter from Jacquie Bell (HAS, Jan 16) regarding BT charges. We had our BT line taken out about three years ago and have a mobile phone.
The socket is still in place and the outside wire still connected to a telegraph post. When I asked recently how much it would cost to have BT reconnected, I was told it would be almost £125.
We are not going to bother and will keep the mobile phone. This price seems extortionate.
