What is the cheapest landline provider out there?

I just need to pay the rental charge. I wont be making any calls, as I need to run my broadband through it. Im with BT at the moment, and Tiscali as my ISP. I refuse to take on Tiscali's line rental as I have heard about their very poor customer service. I only use their Broadband as it's cheap as chips.

Any providers out there who offer Line Rental at less than £8 per month? I know of Toucan who charge £9.

Plenty do but, I expect, they are of the opinion like me that, for the sake of 30p or 40p per week, what would be the point?

A BT landline is accepted as the carrier by all ADSL ISPs whereas some may decline to provide broadband over another provider's line and others may decline to provide unless the line is handed over to them too (e.g. Talk Talk).

Save yourself the hassle and don't fix it - it ain't broke.

This was very unhelpful

It was, nontheless, gold standard advice.
