Millions of BT customers face price rises as Britain’s biggest landline and broadband provider pushes up costs for the second time in a year.

The raft of changes mean that a customer with standard broadband and unlimited anytime call package will have to pay approximately £43 more a year.

The cost of standard line rental is going up by £1 per month to £18.99, an increase of £12 per year affecting 10million households.

The majority of BT’s 7.9million broadband customers will also see a rise in bills.
