Thinking of switching from NTL to 8mb UKOnline
The first thing that occured to me, was the rental of the phone line, which is what? About £10 a month?

I came across a company offering landlines for £0 a month?

http://www.onetel.co.uk/index.php/standarduktalk

I assume ADSL from another provider would work on that line?
They charge £79.99! a month for 2mb adsl (ouch)

So if I ordered that landline (£0) and then got the 8mb service from ukonline, it'd work out at £39.99 a month.

I don't know where you got the idea that they would supply you with a free landline.

FREE - No Monthly Fee
Meant no monthly fees for a landline? or is it simply an addon to a current BT line?

AFAIK, it's an add-on to a BT line..

£25 to transfer a BT line (residential) or £105 to install a line
http://www.itplc.com/Residential/itplus.html
But line rental only £5.25 a month.

Call charges not as good as some others, and while I couldn't find it, I suspect you cannot use CPS with them, and they may not like you using other prefix providers.
