    I doubt it. Need to pay line rental.

    Talk talk was +£17.70

    A few places offer free Bb for 12m but u pay the line rental.

    Notice you didn`t post any links.

    TT line rental can be paid upfront so it works out at £15 a month.

    Plusnet offer free BB but slow the traffic at peak times so it`s not really unlimited.
    Quite a few complaints on these boards about Plusnet`s "free" BB.

    Read last two posts.

    There do not appear to be many talktalk fans on here.

    At least I did not post a link claiming something was £3.75 when infact it was nearer £19 to £21 and not actually what the OP asked for!

    If you want a link here is one.

    Will give you the deals. I notice Sky and TalkTalk do free BB. Sky having slightly cheaper LR and better customer service.

    Personally I would avoid BT and SSE

    Want to get rid of my landline, as I use my mobile. So you have to pay for a landline even if you do not require it

    Virgin is the only exception. You get it thru their cable. Not openreaches.

    Could still be described as a landline .
    Confusion is those that insist on saying a phone line . Its a data line either VM cable BT OR Fibre or the Old BT copper cable and that's where landline charges come in .

    You can of course use your mobile for this data as opposed to a landline .
