Freeserve claims that BT has indeed cut the price of installing ADSL, it’s business broadband service, and is guilty of absorbing the price cuts since the wholesale cost of the service has remained static. Oftel’s investigation will determine whether the price cuts constitute anti-competitive conduct.
Freeserve indicated a desire to “compete (with BT) on a level playing field with broadband.”
The investigation follows a similar, recent complaint by Bulldog Communications.
