through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 26 of the 61 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 35 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 27 figures, never sentences; 445 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the median, minimum and maximum advertised entry price per month, per call and per minute across every UK provider that publishes one, with the count and share publishing versus quote-only; the true cost at 30, 100 and 300 calls a month computed for each published rate card (bundle plus overage plus transfer fee plus setup), which is the figure nobody publishes because every provider prices on a different unit; cheapest-at-volume per band; repriced-since the previous read", "embed": "
