Digital Landline Broadband Offers

When I switched to Sky broadband and phone landline quite some time ago, Sky switched my landline to digital which I did not realise at the time. Trying to get a new deal, I am finding that the packages on offer by other providers are for an analogue landline and I will have to pay £50 for the privilege of going backwards to an analogue line.
Can anyone recommend any good deals that mean I can retain the digital landline?
It appears to be a good way for Sky to limit the alternative options to their existing customers...

Not sure about a 'good deal', but Vodafone force you to a digital landline. They offer good cashback via TCB and discount to existing mobile customers, but their contracts are 24 months and every year they hike the price significantly.

What do you mean digital landline ?, your landline phone is plugged into your router or plugged into the copper phone line master socket ?, if your telephone is plugged into the router , it’s VoIP , just Skys proprietary version of it , if your phone is still in a phone socket , it’s no more ‘digital’ than every other landline that still is plugged into a phone socket rather than a broadband router.
ISP that use Openreach FTTC , as they sign up ‘new’ customers , shouldn’t offer traditional PSTN telephony via the phone socket because it’s being retired, if the ISP has a VoIP telephone service they should offer that ( most that offer Telephony will offer that ) BT for example call theirs Digital Voice.
