But if your phone requirement is a POTS line, then you can port your phone number over to NTL and ditch BT.
My frustration that I was on a BT ISDN HH line prior to the NTL BB/BT ADSL meant I could not port the number as NTL could not offer the same service but expected me to pay for the same service, not anymore, at the moment it is apathy and too many other bigger tasks.

But as I said Sky won't work on a VOIP line, so you could realistically have an NTL BB line, Sky + and a VOIP phone (dixons, vonage) and plug the sky modem into that, but being as Sky negotiate a 56k connection only (and VOIP cannot do that) it will not connect. At the moment not a problem, but there is lobbying for BT to provide naked DSL lines.
