[QUOTE="Topper, post: 981037, member: 186250"] Mobile-phone giant Vodafone claims it is scrapping line rental charges for new and upgrading home broadband customers in the UK. The move means customers will not be billed the current £18 ($23) monthly charge but only if they commit to an 18-month contract. They will still get a landline connection and phone number, the firm said. Prices will start at £22 a month. However, some experts said the charge is being merged, rather than abolished. "To be clear, Vodafone isn't really abolishing line rental charges, it's simply combining the charge into its fibre pricing," said broadband expert Ewan Taylor-Gibson from uSwitch. "This is because broadband providers are under pressure from the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to change advertised pricing so customers see a cost per month that includes line rental, so Vodafone is stealing a march on its rivals."
