    I am not sure why your line rental was that low as that £11 is monthly :confused:

    You cannot use broadband if you change to the light user scheme.

    Did you have any credits on your bill or is it your first bill. Check the bill ID, is it I001 or Q001 and what dates do your service charges cover you for.

    You will be able to ring 0845/0870 numbers, although you will lose out on the 5.5p/hour discount and the call charges will be standard rates.
