We don't use our landline *at all*, so I phoned this morning to get it taken down to the low usage tariff. And guess what - they won't let you have broadband on that deal.

Grrr ...

Interesting to know this as well.

I thought that was illegal, but then i realised this is KC, so all's good as far as OFCON are concerned.

Does BT's low usage tariff support ADSL?

Its always been the case you can't have Broadband on this scheme, annoying when my phone bill is made up entirely of line rental, I made like 2 local calls last quarter, and those were to the help desk. Smiley

The price is £8.68 per month.

It's pretty stupid TBH if BT has broadband support on ALL their phone packages and KC don't.

Broadband has it's own setup and subscription costs so it's by no means a technical hurdle, just a greedy financial one, Karoo DO respond on this, as it's just making you look stupid.
