RE: Bloody BT

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Is this letter only being received by BT Anytime users? I have the Surftime
package (evenings and weekends are free) but had an email through a couple
of months ago promoting their Anytime package which seemed to have been
prompted by my usage patterns. (I'm usually connected between 6pm and 8am
pretty much permanently which comes out to 14 hours per day.)
