    the phone call packages are over the router so are separate, the broadband can only be billed to the owner of the line I believe

    Yes, provided that you choose from one of the other hundred or so ISP's as your provider, as BT I believe add the BB to the phone bill. BT are not a particularly good choice anyway, with their stingy usage caps!
