I'm not implying that PN are any worse than other ISP's in fact I find their adverts clearer than many, but this has to be a good thing for the industry

they should stop stripping out the price of line rentals and instead give all-inclusive monthly costs

excellent suggestion

It's not quite that simple - What if you don't pay your line rental to your ISP?  As ever, Adrian Kennard nails it:

I agree that it isn't that simple but where an offer is conditional on taking line rental then it should include it

Not if you live in a market 1 area. PlusNet's pricing is hidden in the small print, often on a different page.
I think Plusnet should be required to put their Market 1 prices in the same size font as their headline pricing, and on the same page
