I think, as Dex has intimated, some people just feel happier paying an
'all in' price even if it does work out more expensive.
My next door neighbour was paying £200/year more than me for her water
bill than me because she didn't have a meter. She wanted a fixed bill.
She has seen the light now and made a change but I can see that, for
some people, cost is not so much of a factor as is peace of mind.
I get my peace of mind nowing that I have got a good service without,
as I see it, wasting money. Others get their peace of mind by paying
more.
There are many people who don't have a clue how much they are paying
for their phone calls - and they don't care. They just worry about
other things. Meanwhile BT rub their hands with glee!
