On BT however you physically have to have the phone line so you are actually paying for a necessarily part of the service, whilst on VM it's actually an additional and unconnected part of the service that costs VM more to provide but has no relation to your broadband at all.
I've always found it ironic how it'd cost me less to get VM to install a second line and maintain a second set of equipment than not to - as absurd as basically paying their engineers negative salary.
