Do both options cost the same? Can you make a significant saving by porting the number to non BT VOIP provider?

AFAIK with BT Retail you are forced to take out line rental with any FTTP service they sell.

With Zen, they give you the option of a FTTP service without line rental but its only £2 p/m less than one with line rental. For such a small amount I would rather keep a copper/FVA line active...

Thank you for the reply. In some ways it surprises me that BT don't have a pricing structure that more favours the demise of the copper network.

That would require FTTP to be cheaper and that would be a difficult one to do in the current regulatory environment, in fact Ofcom rules mean FTTP n a location where VDSL2 is available at superfast speeds is more expensive by £5/m

Thank you for the explanation. The wisdom of Ofcom escapes me!
