No active line
My mate has a new mobile contract and is cancelling his landline. I told him he will lose his ADSL if he does that but he said he has a line but does not need to pay line rental to keel ADSL on it
Is he right?

Re: No active line
He is wrong I'm afraid. ADSL needs a BT type phone line (It might possibly be ported over to someone like Carphone Warehouse's Talk Talk, Bulldog or similar under a LLU arrangement), whatever he has to keep that phone line active, and that means the rental has to be paid, unless it's totally bundled into a supplier contract.
You don't need a phone line for ntl:telewest broadband.

His exchange has no LLU or RFS dates for LLU. He said he is cancelling the £11 a month and keep broadband

Re: No active line
That'll be the magic broadband fairy - or it could be wireless broadband :-)

Re: No active line
Your mate sounds a bit dippy... 
Email him this link. In particular -

Broadband can come via your phone line, a cable TV service, 3G mobile phone network or by satellite.
The most common method is via your phone line using a system called ADSL.
