Broadband landline deals
We see adverts from BT trying to get us to use our landline more often and this is due to the fact the there has been some drop off in landline usage in recent years. With the advent of broadband and home phone deals this has changed due to the availability of cheap home phone deals from many broadband providers.
To access home phone services from broadband ISPs who use deliver broadband via a landline you need to have a landline with an ADSL connection.
Cost of home phone deals
Landline rental is normally between £10.75 and £11.50. Post Office Broadband includes line rental in their call plans which could help save you money in the long run. Some broadband providers still require you to pay BT line rental so be aware of that before you buy.
