So, a question for you.

If, say, phone line rental was £10 and you broadband was £15 would that be any different to getting "naked DSL" with a bill of £25?


Plusnet offer £11.99 for the line rental and their basic BB is £6.49 (markets 2 & 3). That's a grand total of £18.48 assuming you can get the right market. BT are £23 on a special offer. Not sure who's cheaper. However, that's their 'Value' BB package, so the OP would have to specify if that's sufficient.

not sure on coverage, that was rolled out in Guangxi couple of years ago.
Went in paid 900rmb over the counter, man next day arrived chucked a LAN cable threw my window and off he went.
No bills, no agro done and dusted.
Come back here and i just started to look for isp and its making me feel sick.

Gosh. I'd bet you wouldn't be able to find any other examples of goods or services being cheaper in China than the UK.

The 48V DC still needs to be maintained on the line
It is 50V DC in the UK. I think 48V is used in the US of A.

When their average salary in Shanghai is just USD 10,000 then still a fair chunk of the salary at $140 a year.

If a lot of blocking for 'illegal' content took place in the UK, unlimited would be feasible again too.
