Hi I am looking for a way to have BT Infinity installed in my house without the need for an additional telephone line, here’s the scenario :
Current situation
• BT Landline
• Sky broadband 3Mb
• Sky for telephone calls and satellite
I have now started my own business and want to use the broadband for business purposes, thus I would like to increase the speed and capacity of the broadband.
I don’t currently pay for broadband as the usage is low
Proposed situation
• BT Landline
• Sky Broadband 3Mb for personal use
• Sky for telephone calls and satellite
• BT infinity 40Mb for business use.
However the only way I can achieve the above situation is to have an additional phone line installed with a monthly cost of £14.60 that I wont even use. I don’t need a business telephone for home as I use my mobile for all business calls
To simplify all I want is a BT infinity broadband service for £18 month withour a phone line
Any idea’s ? I am keen to keep the personal and business broadband separate and I wont qualify for the free Sky broadband without taking my calls through them

You have two options here
The first is upgrading your Sky Broadband package to Sky Fibre 40MB Broadband from the 12 April
Prices
£50 Installation without a W
£20 a month Rental Fee
No telephone line requires as you already have Sky Calls and Sky Broadband

The other Option is you take the BT Infinity service, they do one for Business but this is very costly and the worse Deal that you can have, the Best one is their Home Infinity service
BT Infinity without a Phone Line is £28 a month
No you'll need to take line rental through BT to get Infinity.

BT Infinity without a Phone Line is £26 as of today, so get in quick, plus of course the £6 P&P if you want their Router, if not then you do not have to pay any Set Up Fees
This package is Unlimited so you can Download as much as you want
No Installation Charge either for this package
This Deal is only available by Phoning BT on 150,
it is not available online
How many Phone Lines do you have currently?
I think BT Infinity will need a Phone Line, so if you cannot convert one that you aleady have you shall need a new one put in
It is currently free at the time you order your BT Broadband product

Correct, but he can get the rental for £10-odd a month if he pays a year in advance, free line connection too. Huge reductions (but he would be better not to tell them that the Infinity is for business use!).
Yes, if that is the case then Get BT Line Saver Rental
for £129 every year or it is £14.60 a month

Exactly my thoughts
I did this when I had my Virgin services installed, I told them it was for home use and not for Business use
I do not think the Engineers care much how you are using the services after it has been installed
They ask you a few questions and that is it, apart from you answering them that is
I do not think they know what is going on to be honest,
because when I had my Business phone line installed for Free in my flat, they just got on with the Job and did not realise much that it was actually a place where I lived,
all they cared about was getting the Installation done and move on to the next Job
As it is an Unlimited BT Infinity Broadband product, he can use it for business, I am not sure BT will mind if he uses it for Business use,
as he is only saving himself a few quid on the monthly charge
I was giving him information on ways to pay the BT Line Rental, so he can make an informed decision that might actually save him some money
