Re: Fibre only broadband?


[re: RobertoS] [link to this post]
 
In reply to a post by RobertoS:
The OP is talking about the total of line and broadband. So he has to add his to the Zen broadband.
does anyone do fibre only package under £30 a month with unlimited usage? Where in that sentence does it mention line rental ???????? correct it doesn't

Vivaciti FTTC prices you will see nearly £38 without [censored] line rental, and the op is very unlikely to get such a deal for both, unless they don't care about quality ect , tt business maybe an option ,without going into the realms of MPF with Stalk talk consumer , and there are reported peak time issues their in some locations that's what you get with the pile em high sell it cheap merchants plusnet is one of those

Maybe the OP's next post will clarify. I read the vivaciti package as including line rental at £37.20 and that they regarded that as too much.

I took that in preference to the perfectly reasonable interpretation you have made of the post.

no chance of vivaciti offfering line rental as well for sub £40, i doubt their price for 40/10 unlimited will be much cheaper

OK, after much delving, it does seem that vivaciti line rental is extra, but it is well hidden and I believe the website contravenes ASA/Ofcom requirements.

Right - I was thinking your £38 that was too much included line rental.

Who is your line with? Vivaciti or other. If other, how much per month?

What exchange are you on, and do you need anytime calls?

How does £38 including line rental for 40/10 unlimited grab you? On a monthly contract!

Yes only looking for Fibre itself no line rental as the old man is only paying about £12 a month with free calls so doesn't want to change.

Vivaciti is 37.20 for fibre a month no mention of phone required aswell.

Yes, will still have the phone line
Plusnet have Unlimited Fibre Broadband (18months no phone line) although it says you need line rental, but not sure if its with them or not for Fibre?!

BT will offer you a fibre-only package cheaper than that, say around £28 for 80/20. But you'll have to ring them up to request it on 0800 587 7216 and ask for their Solus broadband.

If you click the "+ line rental" link on the PN page I linked to earlier (which I hope is hitting the broadband only tab), where it says you need line rental it tells you that if you take theirs the broadband is £2.50pm cheaper smile. Just the same as the broadband and phone tab.
