Line rental to use with Sky Broadband and Sky Talk

in Broadband & internet access
Looking for urgent advice. I stupidly took out Talk Talk broadband with line rental and broadband. I have 11 days left on my trial period with Talk Talk and want to move to Sky Broadband, Skytalk and Sky+. Does anyone know what provider I can use for line rental. I don't want to be tied in to Sky's line rental. I appreciate that Sky will need a BT line for me to switch which Talk talk has taken over. Should I just switch to BT for line rental and which package would be best? Thanks for your help.

    Has your line been LLU'd by TT? If so you'll need to go back to BT for 12m line rental on a return to donor basis.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Cheapest line rental from BT is the equivalent of £9.49/month with BT line rental saver.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Yes, I think my line has been taken over by TT. I think I will call BT and get them to take it over. Thanks

    Thank you. Is there anything I should bear in mind regarding BT's line rental saver?

    Do you know how much it is to reconnect to BT and also what their contact number is. I can't seem to find a number on their website.

    A return to donor is free but requires you to take 12m line rental.
