well see what happens tomorrow as BT are opening up Line rental to other companies.
ive heard that some will do line rental for £5.50
anyway the NTL sales person on the other end of the line had my account number in front of her on the screen and agreed that i was who i said i was, after telling her all me details except account number.
but refused to sell me the product until i told her my customer, i know technically speaking she was in the right, but i had already ordered it once online and got a confirmation from their system 
and she knew who i was...
so i dont think they will be getting my extra £30+ a month...

Think about this from the flip side - they don't ask for this information - 1 month later you get a bill £30 higher than usual and complain that you did not order the product.
Be glad they want to protect you from unauthorised charges being put on your account. Frustrating, but a good control IMHO.
Unfortunately its inconsistantly applied.
