Fibre with no line rental

Deleted member 77746 · 20 Mar 2014 at 15:42

Anyone on fibre only with no line rental tied in to that provider as the Internet will be tied to the already existing line in my grans.

1) No line rental with that provider.
2) I'm looking for a 12 month contract NOT 18/24.. these are too long.
3) No up front cost.
4) No data caps.

It seems like all the providers of fibre seem to appear to want to tie you in to their phone line, which I don't want.

Let me know if you are on any packages like that.

I did look at Zen, was quoted 35.40 for the Home Service.

It is an 18 month contract, but Plusnet do Unlimited Fibre for £22.49/month. It's £2.50 cheaper if you have the line with them as well.

£22.50 plus what, £16 line rental? Not cheap.

What has that got to do with the OP looking for a FTTC provider that doesn't require you to also have the line bundled?

For everyone with BT there is a cease charge of £30.00 if you decide to cancel your landline and Internet with them. It's free if you use a MAC code and keep the line.

The fact that the package you stated requires line rental and the OP is after fibre with no line rental...

If you read the body of the original post mrbell1984 isn't after 'Fibre with no line rental' he's after 'fibre only with no line rental tied in to that provider'.

All FTTC connections will require line rental to be paid to someone.

The point is Plusnet will provide FTTC without requiring that you also take the line from them.

Correct, thanks for the clarification. It seems people are charged a premium at present for so called products.

I will keep looking.

Does Virgin offer this?

Select just 'Broadband' rather than 'Broadband and phone'

It's an 18 month package.

I'm sure they used to do a "student" type tariff with a min 9 month contract.
most providers now are goign 18/24 month now on pretty much everything

why the restriction? most of them will allow you to move the contract if you move home.

The problem with the shorter contracts is they often require upfront cost.

I just don't like long contracts that's all. Never been a fan of them as once you are in that's it.

Owned by, not the same as.

PlusNet Fibre is 18 month contract anyway. No good.

I think Zen Internet is the only real option here. They do exactly what I am after.

bremen1874 · 28 Mar 2014 at 13:55

It's almost as cheap to have PlusNet for 18 months as it is to have Zen for 12.

Its always wort checking quidco offers too, plusnet (and likely others) can get substantial cash back offers which cuts the cost quite significantly.
