Phone and Broadband

Hi,
I'm currently with BT and have no Broadband.
I was thinking of switching to Primus Home Saver, which is £9.15/month. But then I found Be Value Broadband, which is £7.50 a month, but one has to have a BT phone line.
Does it mean that if I switch to Primus Home Saver I cannot have Be Value Broadband, or the fact that BT provides the 'hardware' for it is enough?
I.e., does a 'BT phone line' mean the line rental?
If so, what would you recommend in my case for Phone and Broadband?
Thank you!

Welcome to the MSE forums mariag70.
If you have BT line rental, you have the choice of any ADSL broadband provider.
If you switch your line rental, you may be restricted to your line provider's own broadband.
You can retain BT line rental and use any ADSL broadband provider and use any CPS calls provider - so Primus Saver CPS is a possibility with BT line rental and Be ADSL.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
OP, bear in mind that you can only get Be at that price if you are on an 02 or Be LLU exchange-it's not universal.
Go to https://www.samknows.com, do an exchange search, and see if Be is LLU on your exchange (look under 'LLU Operator Presence').No free lunch, and no free laptop

... and if you are indeed on an exchange which has o2/be LLU - and according to a broadband forum I visit now and again, it's very well rated - you might like to look into their new landline calling packages.0

Thank you Guys!
Your advice is invaluable, and I learned quite a few things today!
Yes, I am on an O2/Be LLU exchange, but cannot find any information about their landline apart from O2 for business.
Do you have a link?0 -
