Cost should be much lower as there's no physical line to maintain. Realistically, it's now a VoIP trunk which are cheap cheap and better quality, too.
But the price we pay for line rental is vastly inflated over the actual cost of those so I don't expect that saving to really impact customers.
It's something that would have been better 10 or 20 years ago but these days, mobile phones are everywhere and a better alternative to Landlines.
