My BT contract has come to an end.

I want to stay with them (connection has always been good)

I am paying £57.50 a month just for 

Fibre with BT Halo 3 + landline (which I never use)

How can I get a better deal with them - I want to reduce the cost, not add additional products.

Thanks,

    I am content paying about £25 for Fibre 1 including line rental that I never use, someone recently reported being offered Fibre 1 for £24.99 or Fibre 2 for a few pounds more.

    Why are you paying for broadband if you don't use it?

    Being serious though line rental doesn't mean voice it also covers the line to deliver the broadband too so contrary to what you think you are using line rental

    I would have a look around see what else is available. Best thing i did after 11 years junk BT on FTTC 2 wit Halo 1 so had some form of customer service.
    Just looked inferior FTTC1 is £27 and will have to pay £7 p/m to get some customer service.
    Can get 500meg for £27 a month and have proper customer service.

    I’m now within 3 months of my fibre 2 contract ending and they’ve cold called me a couple of times over the last few months but with nothing worth me taking. I was paying £32.48 but I phoned them this afternoon and got the same but without a landline phone for £24.99 a month. It was £26.99 with the phone but we use mobiles to make calls and we wanted to get rid of it anyway if it was cheaper.
