I have this gripe too. I recently received a letter from BT to say that my line rental was increasing by £1/month so that they could offer more "great services and a wider selection of content".

The only reason I have the line is for the FTTC connection that runs over it (using Goscomb as my ISP, rather than BT) There isn't even a phone connected to it.

Same scenario and ISP here, but I switched line rental to Zen's most basic no-calls-included package at 12 UKP per month.

Still not 'cheap' but cheaper than BT Retail.

We don't even have a landline phone in the house.
