Why do BT staff lie to their customers

Be careful if trying that combination - TalkTalk landlines may not be classed as the traditional 'BT' landline that O2 requires for broadband so best check before ordering. A friend of ours on TalkTalk wasn't able to switch to O2 because of the way TalkTalk supply the landline.
If you want O2 broadband how about the Post Office home phone (which is compatible with O2), link in post 2
I recently migrated to O2 broadband. I have had a TalkTalk landline for about a year, and O2 recognised it as a 'BT line' without any problems. TT are unbundled on my exchange.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
As Macman has said there is no problem having a TalkTalk landline and O2 broadband. The only time this would not be possible is if you have TalkTalk LLU services and want to move only part of the service. LLU is provided by removing the line from BTs network in the exchange and connecting it to TalkTalk equipment which means providers that require a BT service can not supply broadband. For standard line rental customers this does not pose a problem as TalkTalk rent the line from BT on behalf of the customer.
