I accept that Sky requires access to a phone line, but not a dedicated phone line. You can't simply add the cost of the line rental onto Sky's price.
Assume I'm already paying for a landline service that I'm perfectly happy with. If I want to add Sky's digital TV service, it'll cost me £42.50 (from an earlier post); if I want to add ntl's equivalent TV service, it'll cost me £52.50 (from another post). The fact that ntl provide and charge for another phone line - that I didn't ask for and don't want - doesn't change the price, it's still £10 dearer.
