OMG.....I am quitting my blooming job forthwith and setting up to do this work and bloody undercut BT's charges !??!
Do a BB install for £50 (I'm assuming this isn't the provide and exchange work - which ought to be BTW or OpenReach or whatever the hell they're called this month)...£50 !!!! What a con to plug in a filter, cable up a router or modem and install it on a PC !!
Then there's 'IT-Related' visit...£75 for the first hour then £25 for 30mins thereafter *sigh*
It cost me £100 to get BB installed 4 years ago, in the days before wires only installs (I don't need filters hanging from every socket). The BT chap was here for approx 1 hour putting on a new master socket and extension. He tested all the existing phones still worked then proved that there was a BB circuit before he left.
would be nice if you could get it....i have been doing support for servers/pc's for years, well qualified probably better than some of the engineers in BT and if i asked BT rates all my homers would soon dry up....well i suppose you can use them as a yard stick....lol....i'll charge £74.99 for the first hour & £49.99 every hour there after....yes that should do the trick....money making scheme well up 'n' running.... :o....NOT

I couldn't bring myself to charge someone that price, i'd feel guilty for ripping them off. Plus i'm sure they wouldn't call me again.

£75/hour was the standard charge for an HP field engineer 15 years ago, so it's not that expensive. I used to charge £50/hour for setting up Novell networks 12 years ago...
Bump. Bump. :D
I wonder how much BT charge now for home visits since they have outsourced to India. Do they charge travelling time and return fares? ;D ;D :o
Of course, you also have to pay for hotels and food... :)
Oh, and it's now more than a month since Christmas! :whip:
Dont they just bring em in in containers?
Yup, they're called vans. :)

Make allowance for age? You write very well for a five-year old. :) :out:
