    In a thread that starts with the OP's complaint at BT receiving any income at all on its investments in telephone infrastructure, your post boasting that you can save a few pence a month, but still sub-let from BT, hardly seems progressive.

    If you have a constructive and interesting suggestions for avoiding line rental altogether, or would add to comment on the likelihood of this either on landlines or newer alternatives like wi-fi, then do so, but at the moment you seem determined to hijack the thread off-topic.
