‘Social tariff’ of £15 a month offered to up to 4.6m households on benefits or low incomes
BT has launched a £15 a month, broadband and phone “social tariff” aimed squarely at those on benefits or low incomes and allowing qualifying customers to halve their internet bills.
About 4.6m households on universal credit, and a range of other means-tested benefits, will qualify for BT’s Home Essentials package which offers faster fibre broadband, plus 700 minutes of calls to landlines and mobiles for the monthly fee.
