I'm only interested in Broadband but the quote includes a fee of £14.50 per month for line rental, which I can't seem to deselect.
Something else, wouldn't most people these days already have a modem/router, if they are worth £40 and not required couldn't the money saved pay the activation fee?

(Of course you aren't paying Plusnet line rental with the Broadband Only option).
What the router is 'worth' is a matter of opinion but you can be sure it doesn't cost Plusnet £40.00

You need to take line rental with us in order to get the lower price broadband.
You are not automatically recontracted at the end of the contract. You can do so by speaking with our customer options team though.

The quotes lets say for Essentials Broadband priced from £8.49 a month, have options such as to remove the cost of P&P for the modem/router but there didn't seem to be option to have PlusNet broadband without a PlusNet line. Does that mean I will have to have two lines one for the phone and one for PlusNet broadband?
Where's the pricing for PlusNet broadband without a PlusNet phone line?

The prices shown on this page are for low cost (Market 2 & 3) exchanges. Costs are £7 per month more on Market 1 exchanges. Those prices can be found by expanding the Here's the legal bit text.

Thank you for the response.
I did select the Broadband Tab and went through the 'Start Order' process and at the end the estimate/quote the price displayed includes a phone line rental charge which I'm unable to deselect/remove. I'm already paying a phone line rental but not to PlusNet, why's a line rental charge been added to the PlusNet Broadband Only estimate?
I thought before people could choose whatever phone company they liked and select any broadband provider they liked, has that changed?

Quote You need to take line rental with us in order to get the lower price broadband.
But I could not see an option not to take a line rental with PlusNet, to see the higher price.
Just been looking at Talk Talks their unlimited broadband is £2:50 with a line rental charge of £15:40 = £17:90 per month.
PlusNet is shown at £9.99 plus a line rental of £14:50 = £24:49 per month.
Is Talk Talks line rental cheaper because they will become the phone line provider as well?
Does it now mean customers can no longer maintain their current phone line provider if they switch Broadband supplier?
I assume Talk Talks or whoever aren't going to lay a new phone cable to the house, what if I already have PlusNet Broadband and switch to Talk Talks phone service would they say you can't do that?

For Plusnet their unlimited broadband and calls offering is currently £2.99 + £14.50 line rental. Total £17.49 per month for 12 months.
Plusnet also offer unlimited broadband only at £12.49 per month.
Screen snips from the sales pages of these are shown in the first two attachments. The Broadband only page includes a line rental link which, if clicked, displays the message shown in the third attachment. This mentions the need for a BT based landline but doesn't require that to be with Plusnet.
Does you current line satisfy that requirement?

Quote from: christmas Think I understand know. If the wire into house goes back to a BT exchange then it's possible to have PlusNet broadband even if the phone service is provided by a non BT company.
Do you have a bundle of phone and broadband with Sky and are both products via their LLU based network?
If you're not sure what LLU is all about this might help to some degree.
