Because you can now get a broadband only line ( so not just no calls included, there isn’t even a dialtone ,so no emergency calls, no telephone number allocated and no way to receive incoming calls either ) officially it’s £5 cheaper than a broadband line with dialtone and the ability to make and receive calls , then arguably it’s £5 for the basic PAYG calls plan, because that’s minimum telephony option, but £5 is not really the cost of the PAYG plan, the PAYG plan is free, £5 is the the difference between a telephony and broadband bundle price and broadband only price ,it’s a distinction without a difference, but PAYG is ‘free’, dialtone now isn’t.
