Re: RE: subsidy
BT Retail charge £18.99 a month, so that covers the majority of line rentals, though not sure of BT Retail's exact share of the consumer line rental market, with bundled deals from Sky, TalkTalk etc, but given we're talking rural subscribers with derisory BB speeds around 2Mbps, many will still be on BT Retail, paying £18.99 a month line rental, just so they can get their line faults fixed quicker (in theory, it shouldn't matter, but in reality, it seems to)
