NTL line rental £4.75 pm
NTL seem to be doing a special offer, discounting their line rental for the first year, to £4.75. They spontaneously offered it when I phoned to sign-up today. I wasn't even complaining! So, with BT, you pay £75 installation, plus £10.50 line rental = £201 in the first year. With NTL, just 12x4.75=£57. Not bad!
