Broadband and Talk

‎18 Jul 2023 04:29 PM

Can you please help? I live in a big city and I'm paying £18.99 a month for a Sky Talk line rental as well as for Broadband unlimted. Do I need this line rental (£227.88) per year. Do I really need this for Broadband? Confused, feels like expensive unneccessary old tech.

Line rental showing as a seperate entity is a thing of the past.

 

What broadband product are you on?

 

Call sky to see if you can get your broadband updated to a new brand name so you don't need to pay line rental

Sounds like you have not renewed your broadband package for many years. You'll need to call Sky and get yourself on a current package which includes line rental.

Note that for fixed broadband a data bearer (either copper cable or optical fibre) is required and this is 'rented' by a wholesaler to the ISP who then passes the cost to the subscriber.  As @cookiemonsteruk indicates, on current broadband products the pricing is no longer separated, but a cost is still there.
