calls seem pretty cheap too - dunno if it can be combined with ADSL. but probably a good deal for someone who doesn't use their phone all that much. Especially good as BT are increasing their rental by a quid.

The call charges seem dear to me.

This would be OK, as you say, for someone who hardly uses the line for voice calls but uses it for ADSL. You can use it for ADSL, but not BT ADSL it appears.

All ITplus telephone lines are still maintained by BT and use the same BT network for calls and services. Therefore ANY Internet Service Provider supplying broadband (ADSL) over the BT network can supply the same service on an ITplus line.

Transferring a BT line with an active ADSL connection is also seamless with no disruption of any service. IT will be billing you only for your line rental and calls, where your ISP will be billing you for your internet connection separately.

The only service that is NOT compatible with ITplus is the BT Broadband (Retail) package, only because it is offered as part of your line rental with BT. You will need to cease this service with BT before transferring your line to ITplus. For BT Openworld and BT Yahoo services the transfer remain seamless.


seems very good even though theres a one off charge of £24.99

I dont know how Tricky got his NTL phoneline rental reduced.

You can usually get the NTL phone line rental reduced if you threaten to leave & go back to BT.

I rang CS and asked if they had a any deals cos I made very few calls. They gave me half price rental for 12 months. Funnily enough got my bill today and line rental was 9.50 - called them up, and I'm now back on £5 for another 12 months with a refund of the extra they took this month.

I make less that 10 (usually 3) calls per month!

i make less than 10 calls on NTL too - all my other calls are routed through another company - though I suppose they are still using my ntl line.

Perhaps NTL will be more willing to negotiate the price of line rental when the new competition comes in this year.

The BT broadband is capped anyway isnt it? If so Id rather go with openworld if I was going with BT anyway. Though im pretty sure I would go with Pipex or one of the many other cheap ADSL providers.
