Be interesting to get the exact details and price , if someone moved into a home that was FTTP , or even one with copper , but only wanted telephony, given there is no longer a way to order a ‘WLR’ phone line , and some type of broadband is necessary for Digital Voice , the assumption has always been that a very small bandwidth product (0.5Mb ) would be provided in the background , that enables calls ( because that only needs a tiny amount if bandwidth) , but would be almost useless for the ‘internet’ , even if a SH2 router were provided so there is a place to plug in the phone .
I suspect ( as already stated ) they will have been supplied with a cheap Home Essentials broadband deal , even if they think they ordered a phone only service, it would be an easy sell , as it’s cheaper than a traditional standalone phone line anyway , the broadband is effectively free , but do they qualify for the product ( which is normally dependent on being in receipt of certain benefits ) , or is it simply a way to get around providing a phone only service when copper phone service is no longer available ?
