Try Waitrose BB. It is run by Plusenet, but at a Market 1 exchange, likely to be cheaper.

For new customers it is now John Lewis Broadband.

I wonder of you can keep the £22.50 pm price after the 1st year if you agree to another years contract, or will your have to pay the £26.50?

No idea. I haven't even looked at their website - just knew they are Plusnet-supplied.

FTTP is BT with cost £40.99 P/M inc line rental

My olds don't use internet much or indeed the phone, but need them both, so price is too much really

FY6 0HN is postcode. Last on the exchange

Less than they're paying currently

Price would be higher after 12 months though at which point people like Zen might make more sense on FTTP

The OP said his parents need the voice side of things, I don't think Zen do an FVA service do they ?

And surely FTTP AND a landline for calls will bump the costs even higher.

Cheap PAYG mobile?

There's no such thing, and it is almost certain keeping of the landline number is crucial.

I thought you still paid landline costs on FTTP? Whether still going through the copper or through the FVA.

Would it necessarily be FVA anyway in this case?

No such thing as what? A payg mobile? I beg to differ.

You can even get contract phones for less than £15 a month, which is cheaper than line rental.

If they're not heavy users then perhaps they could go to one of BT's limited usage packages?
