After the number of nuisance calls my phone system was blocking,
fell to almost no calls, there has been a sudden increase in their
number in the past few days. 10 such calls yesterday blocked, all
supposedly
from different spoofed numbers.

They do like to waste their time.

Apparently my Internet service is compromised! Recorded
announcement so I suppose the only cost is the call charge.

I have also had a few 'This is Microsoft Technical' calls from India
recently and after dispatching one (who was fairly persistent), also
had the 'This is BT Technical, your line is compromised' recorded
message with a press 1 or 2 option.

Never respond to these!

pressing '1' can connect you to a premium rate call number.

That sounds unlikely... Got any supporting evidence?

not in writing, but my ISP owner told me, And I tend to believe him.

More fool you with that last, it isnt possible.
