I want to get FTTP, but on the vodafone uk "Broadband availability checker" it has a mandatory "Select landline option" with only two options:
◎ Keep my current landline number
◎ Get a new landline number (Even if you don’t need a landline number, we’ll set one up for you at no extra cost)
If I select "Get a new landline number", I get "Great news! You are in our Full Fibre area", but it doesn't mention FTTP.
So I did a live chat with a "specialist" who initially suggested that I "can't get internet without a landline".
When pressed if it was FTTP or not, he said it was FTTP but vodafone gives the phone number to all customers completely free and without obligation.
This has made me quite suspicious of the offering - why would they allocate a phone number if no phone service is required? Is it just a marketing scam?
Does anyone have insight on this?
