it does because the phone part will be going up significantly

EDIT
Saw the various clarifications so we agree

One thing which may be a useful change is to move from Plusnet 80/20 to BT 40/10 if the actual speeds I get aren't much above 40Mbps when I get fibre in a week or so's time as 40/2 is just plain silly

I already pay Zen £16,99 for line rental. I admit it's expensive but necessary until FTTP is available to everyone. I just did a comparison of Zen 40/10 and Plusnet 40/2 and with line rental it's still cheaper than Zen.

I'm assuming your tempted by BT's Infinity 1 offer?

It does look good...

I was until I worked out that I would lose 6 months of my LRS so doesn't look so good.
However - given the very small saving - I won't be renewing the LRS and then I will have much more flexibility

I only ever paid LRS once... back when it was new and they screwed me out of 5 months of it when I had to move to cable because of rubbish line.

Maybe its worth cancelling you fibre order and keep going with PN adsl without contract until LRS is done and then jump ship.

Never mind the LRS problem, the greatest scam is the "connection charge" which started as a small fee and is now up to 16p even if you don't successfully get to connect to who you need

Time Ofcom banned these altogether. It's a racket

not really as I am part way through a 2 year ADSL deal

well its better than 18-24 months for fibre

I agree, the "connection charge" is outrageous and totally unjustified, although as more people have inclusive packages only a minority end up actually paying it. Ironically, from tomorrow there will be no connection charge permitted on 08/09/118 numbers so they may actually work out cheaper in some cases.

The connection charge is the only reason I feel I need pay for an anytime call package. It's a long winded calculation to work out which is actually cheaper, anytime or 16p a call
