BE Broadband + Landline - Anyone have it?

Just pondering whether to take out my broadband and landline with BE.

They're running a half-price-for-12-months deal which looks really good...

Howevahhh... need to know if I can use 18185 with a BE line - I route nearly all my calls thru them.

Their website says it's a BT wholesale line, but I know they have their own LLU kit at the exchange, so I'm not sure whether it will work or not...

    I've had broadband with BE since January 2008, and landline since they first started offering it (November 2010 I think). Everything has been fine for me ... they truly do offer an unlimited service.

    Just be aware that their call pricing structure differs a little from BTs (as does most resellers).

    I have landline + Anytime calls + Unlimited BB for less than £30 per month (plus chargeable calls). I know there are cheaper options available but I value quality.

    Sounds good!

    Have you used 18185 or any of these other cheap call providers with the line?

    I haven't as yet, but they ARE allowed. :)

    (As I have the Anytime calls package, such providers would only really benefit me for calls to mobiles).
