Reasonable price?

Cornucopia, MalMunroe, iniltous, BUFF, matelotdave - thank you all so much for your thoughtful posts.
I will inwardly digest them and act, soon.

Thanks again!

I would recommend that if you need a landline, then the best bet is probably Vodafone who were doing the offer from £18 a month which is Broadband and a Landline. An Anytime calls package is usually something like £8 a month more whether you sign up with BT, Sky, Vodafone, or anyone on top of the regular price.

Most FTTC broadband packages from BT, Sky, Vodafone etc include a landline. If you can get FTTP via Openreach, you can either opt for Broadband only, or have a landline number as well with something called "Digital Voice" via the aforementioned three providers. 

Vodafone managed to lose me my telephone number and any broadband for four weeks, they may have been fine for others but I have no confidence in them.

I would advise the OP to see what BT can do for them, at least for an initial 18/24 month contract and consolidate the two services, that's an horrendous price you're paying all told at the moment.

To anybody seeing this thread and considering Vodafone for BB incc. landline, be aware that their customer service is lacklustre at best. We decided to switch from BT to Vodafone on the tariff offering the £90. Amazon voucher. Here are the issues we've had, decide for yourself if they are issues for you:

The website would not allow us to log-in. Perhaps it takes several days for new customers to be able to use the site? That seems ridiculous.

We tried calling and were sat on hold for a very long time. When they finally answered we said we wanted to cancel and they transferred us.... to a dead line. I'm sure it was just a mistake

The most important issue for a lot of people involves your credit rating. For some reason Vodafone does a hard credit search which will tank your credit rating for up to 180 days. Absolutely disastrous in some situations.

We ended up staying with BT. It was the old, "I'm changing supplier" phonecall which ends with you being given a much better deal.
