I keep being put off Infinity because of the 18-month minimum term, as I'm only a tenant and don't really want to commit 18 months ahead. Of course if I'd just signed up a year ago, I'd now only have 6 months to worry about.
Being able to move is one advantage of mobile.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Haven't had a landline for ages. Well, we had a Virgin one when it was cheaper to get the full bundle but didn't have a phone plugged in.

I have the Virgin bundle without phone plugged in. Actually I don't even have a physical phone at all. It is the same price as TV + Broadband, give or take 50p.
Remember that having a 'landline' number is useful for credit applications. They don't ask whether your landline works, or whether you have a phone plugged inCats are evil.Comment

I think they finally caught on that a few people weren't putting a phone in them so it wasn't the money spinner they thought.

It's beyond their simple understanding that you can actually have broadband without a phone line if you happen to live in a cable area."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I personally can't wait for 4G and stick a finger up to BT.
I don't live that far from civilisation but only get 1/2Mb connection, probably due to the shocking state of the wire between me and the exchange - much of it lies on the ground unburied, I have a coil of it lying on the ground before it goes up the pole, when it gets to my neighbour, the BT engineer simply pulled it though the middle of his wire fence - no effort to go over or under, it has to be seen to be believed.
I get a decent 3G connection so 4G should be fine and will almost certainly smash BT. I barely use my land line, in fact, not to get Bob phoning constantly would be a bonus.Back at the coal faceComment
