I was only paying £19 for the broadband and TV, was 12 month offer that they extended twice for me. If I wanted the phone line it was another £11 on top of that.
I was using VoIP via a Linksys PAP2 ATA, didn't want to pay an extra £11 when I could pay nothing per month for my Sipgate line and also at the time using Vyke, which back then was 2p per call again no monthly charge.
It was only later on in the Telewest area they altered it so there was very little in it if you had phone line or not. A few of us in the family went TV & broadband and then used VoIP.
