This may not be the case for much longer. Most of the costs for landlines are due to the legacy switched exchange system that is still in use. This will come to end of life in a couple of years with everyone moving to VoIP (VM currently operates a hybrid system). All full VoIP providers only charge for calls, so a "Line Rental" will no longer exist after switchover. In VMs NexFibre new build areas there is no landline service on offer.
