Line rental and Telephony are not the same thing , just because your Telephony is going to be delivered over your broadband, by plugging your phone into the router rather than a traditional phone socket , it doesn’t follow that ‘line rental ‘ is now unnecessary ,
FYI , you can now remove Telephony if you want to , that would remove the ability to make or receive calls , you would no longer would have a ‘landline’ phone number but obviously ( as stated ) but the ‘line’ still exists and needs to be paid for, nothing changes from that point of view, it remains as it is now , an inclusive part of the charge for delivering your broadband service
LRS , although it’s title suggests it is still associated with ‘line rental’ , it’s not really , your broadband ‘fee’ is a single amount on the bill , and has been that way for many years , your bill isn’t divided into two parts , line rental and broadband, so irrespective of where you plug your phone in , the service is the same in that you still have the same services you had before, there is no reason to reduce the price unless your remove Telephony in which case the saving is around £5/month
LRS is soon to be discontinued , it was really only a £20 yearly discount for paying £220 ish upfront.
