The closest thing to free line rental available

June 30th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

A very old expression from the 1920s goes, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” The UK equivalent today would be, “There’s no such thing as free line rental.” There are great deals to be had these days for home phone and broadband, but the base price of line rental, that is the cost to have a home phone connected to your door, remains fixed at around 11 pounds due every month. This is because British Telecom owns almost every metre of copper cable strung throughout Britain. We say “almost every” because Virgin Media has strung their own wire around the UK and is on their way to breaking that aspect of the BT landline monopoly. Still Virgin does not offer free line rental and neither company has the best deal on home phone service. Which UK phone company offers the best prices and services?

This absolutely depends on where in the UK you live. Depending on this you may be able to save up to 50% on your cost for phone, TV and broadband. To discover the best deal for your city, visit Homephonechoices.co.uk. There you will find reviews and price comparisons for all communications services available in the United Kingdom. At Home Phone Choices you will find a handy Home Phone Price Comparison tool that will display all of the most competitive deals for phone service in your city and on your street.

A replacement for BT landline technology is on the way

June 21st, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

One has to give Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Media credit. No one else in the last one hundred years has had the courage to directly compete with British telecom in the area of line rental. For those unaware, most of our TV, Internet connection and Telephone service reaches our homes via a copper line carrying signals directly to our favorite appliance. Virgin TV has been actively running new, fibre optic cable all over Britain for the last decade. Mind you this was not so much to compete with BT landline business but so as to garner market share in the combined home phone and broadband area. And while BT has promised us all high speed fibre optic connections for over five years now only Virgin has been laying the superior infrastructure that light speed communications requires. And for all of this, neither of these two industry giants offers the best deal on TV, home phone, broadband combinations. That first place award goes to the Post Office and its Post Office Home Phone Service. As discovered in the award winning consumer assistance website Home Phone Choices, the best deal currently available in the UK for home phone and broadband in a package is from the Post Office. A complete comparison showing facts and figures can be found at Homephonechoices.co.uk. Bear in mind that this area is extremely competitive so you will want to avail yourself of the entire Home Phone Choices resource to do a price check and service comparison for your location.
