Exetel customer help forum

I was just looking at changing my plan. On the change plan page, there is no mention of any line rental fees in addition to the quoted plan fees. For example the TR-300 plan says that the total monthly cost is $54.99. Given that the current plans advertised for new customers state that the line rental is included in the plan fee, it would be a valid assumption that this was also the case for existing customers if there was no information to say otherwise.

I requested a plan change and was shown the following confirmation web page:
Again, it says the Monthly Broadband Plan cost is $54.99 and the Total Monthly Cost is $54.99 - no mention of any line rental fee.

However, the confirmation email I received says:
Total monthly cost is now $79.99, which is not what was offered when I hit the confirm change button. I assume that the extra $25 is the line rental fee but it should have been stated in the original offer.

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this into our concern. I understand the line rental is not stated on the inclusions of the current plan and the new plan details. This will be escalated to the relevant department and will be fixed as soon as possible. However the total monthly cost is given prior to submitting the plan change.
