Hi
Just that really - I've got BT broadband and a BT landline. I never use the landline anymore but didn't know if it was still the case that I had to have it?
Thanks

If you've got full fibre then no.
If you've got fibre to the cabinet then yes I think you may need to keep paying line rental, but they bundle it together with the broadband charge. But check with BT, I think now you can not pay for phone and save £5.
You can get a broadband only service from BT , no telephony at all , so no dialtone on the line , no telephone number associated with the broadband service , so no incoming or outgoing calls are possible…it officially is £5/month less than the equivalent broadband that does have a telephone service with it, but many find the saving is actually £2 a month ( if they were already getting a discount ) so it’s the case that the saving from taking the no phone service broadband, varies between £2 -£5
Hopefully you are not someone who thinks if line rental is quoted as £20 , and line and broadband is £30 , getting rid of line rental , broadband will be £10, it doesn’t work like that
