Is it possible to get naked broadband (without a BT connection) in the UK?

    To answer the OP, not on an ADSL service. You can get a line rental only package from some suppliers and then add broadband (e.g. O2 has an option with no inclusive calls), but you can't avoid paying line rental otherwise.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Not yet, but it could be available later this year depending on ISP's taking FTTP without analoge lines.
    These are my thoughts and no one else's, so like any public forum advice - check it out before entering into contracts or spending your hard earned cash!

    I don't know everything, however I do try to point people in the right direction but at the end of the day you can only ever help yourself!
