Hi,

As an example, lets say FTTP with no  phone at all, they will charge lets say £35.  If I say I want to keep my phone line and have FTTP, they will charge me £35 BUT you can pay your line rental up front for 1 year which works out that you effectively get 1 month for free last I knew.

So either way they are still charging you line rental so makes no sense to not have it.

I believe in big towns, there are companies that will provide just FTTP with no line rental and then you can sign up to a VOIP provider and move your number BUT BT will still charge you regardless.

Where i live, I don’t have a option to go with a supplier that wont charge line rental jet but I suspect that will come eventually and by then, BT will prob drop the line rental charge to remain competitive or they will loose too much business, atm they have a bit of a monopoly tbh.
