I enquired today about removing the phone line and just having broadband and television. The line loss would save me £13.90, but I would lose the bundle discount of £20. The viable alternative I looked at was Vonage which would cost £8.99 per month calls inclusive.
So remove the phone line and I have to make at least £15.09 to break even.
I've decided to go on Pay As You Go with Skype.
A 7 min call peak time to USA on Skype cost me 14p.
An 8 min call in Jan to the same number on VirginMedia cost me £2.16

So it's it worth ditching the line,but certainly worth looking at alternatives.
