It's an unfair comparison because cable uses coax and is independent of the phone line. The same can be said of other Internet services that don't use the phone line.
LLU lines are another matter however.

Well presumably BT make money from the wholesale cost of the DSL service, as you say for LLU Providers like Bulldog we still need to pay BT £10.50.
BT Sneakily added another £1 forcing everyone whether they want BT or not on to option 1 also making any ADSL package in my eyes ISP+BT=Expensive!
I dont really see what BT would be losing better get some money from ADSL wholesale...than have a line running to a house disconnected, the line is gonna be their either way and BT are gonna need to keep the equipment maintained anyway.
After all a house has to have cable installed the same as a BT cable runs to practically 99% of the UK anyway, it must cost the same either way. Its just a cable it doesnt really matter what it does, if I dont use it for voice calls or Dont want to use BT...I dont use it for voice calls.
There should at least be a cheaper package for DSL users. Why and how they got away with ditching the Standard plan i will never know!
