Can I completely ditch BT?


[link to this post]
 
I'm moving shortly, and according to samknows.com my new exchange is LLU enabled for Sky.
I want Sky TV, so getting Sky BB seems a logical choice. Everything I can find on Sky's BB website mentions requiring a BT line. Ideally I'd like to not be paying BT for my phone aswell.
Does the LLU option mean I can get my line rental through Sky and completely ditch BT forever?

Not at the moment. Sky may in the future have a line rental offer but this will still be over the BT network. So, in fact it will still be a BT line as the money is going to BT via Sky.

I have Sky TV, BB and the Sky 'freetime' free weekend/evening calls but still have to pay BT for the line rental. I believe the difference will be 50p per month.

Sky have already started to offer Wholesale Line Rental, I signed up a couple of weeks ago, it should be in the upgrade options for Sky Talk on the Sky website. �10pm to Sky instead of the �11ish to BT. Caller Display seems to be a free option too.

I tried to sign up to the line rental option a few weeks ago but was told it was an option coming soon, as already said Caller display was included as free...

Do you know how I can tell the transfer is complete? MySky says I'm on wholesale line rental, but not sure if the transfer has been completed yet. 1571 gives me BT Answer, but I guess that Sky may be using BT Answer for voicemail rather than their own system?
