TalkTalk Broadband Only ????

I have been a customer of Pipex (now owned by TalkTalk) for 4 years, last April I threatened to leave because their broadband prices were no longer competitive, They gave me a great deal (£7.99 a month - half the advertised price) so I decided to stay.
This week I have received a letter from Pipex saying they are going to increase my monthly fee to £19.99 for up to 8M broadband unless I agree to go onto their new package of £14.99 for broadband and hometime calls. How crazy is that offer .... more for less?
I do not want the calls package but Pipex (Talk Talk) do not seem to offer a broadband only package - am I correct here or have I missed something ??

    From their website they offer a broadband package for £14.99/month.(LLU only I suspect)
    I suspect Pipex as a retail brand will probably disappear shortly.
    Tiscali disappeared this week.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    I thought you had to take out their phoneline also (as there phoneline is LLU , so if you want to go back to BT you have to pay the hefty reconnection fee).

    I am in the process of leaving Talktalk broadband and calls and I thought I would have to pay a reconnection to BT but when I placed the order they told me that as the line reverts to them from Talktalk then there would be no charge.
