Point in favour of British Telecom (gosh, they need them!): TT service
is FREE on those exchanges that are TT equipped (conversion is taking
some time, but many exchanges are now TT compatible).

Point against: the charges for "Star Services" (three way, code
calling &c) are confusing (they charge more than their brochure
says!), convoluted (I defy anyone to work out what a particular
package will cost!) and too high (but then I would say that, wouldn't
I?!).  The full package (from memory) is UK#16.52 per quarter plus 15%
VAT (sales tax).  Too much.
