I can't honestly see what all the fuss is about!

BT have had a £1 per month discount for using DD for a long time. So they
are raising it to £1.50 So what?

People have a *choice* so it isn't a penalty charge as such. I *choose* to
pay for my electricity and gas by DD because it's cheaper. Ditto with BT.

BT is going to make its profit *somehow*. If it is prevented by law from
having a differential between those paying by DD and those not, the line
rental will go up for *everybody*. Is *that* the result that WD wants?
