This doesn't apply to virgin!
If you need ADSL or FTTC (Fibre to Cabinet) you must have a phone line for the service to be delivered to you. There is no other way for the service. It has to come from a wire from the exchange, which is a phone line. You have to pay rental on this wire hence yes you have to pay line rental.
It is cheaper to get a line rental and broadband package usually and especially if you pay the line rental upfront for 12 months.

Sure why not I need something to do, their number is whine-whine-whine although their number is pretty "Captain Obvious".
TBH I just thought I would sign up and help a few people seeing as I do this for a living but why bother, I'll just let people try and figure it out themselves.0 -
