Any advice gratefully received.
If you think about who the line rental is paid to, who the phone calls are paid to and who the broadband is with as three completely separate entities then it is easier.
You can have your line rental with Talk Talk (who rent it from BT as they will provide the line - but that's not something you we need worry about), your phone package through Talk Talk and your broadband with Orange, BT, etc. etc. Because your line rental is with a particular company does not mean you are lockec to their broadband.
Things get slightly more complicated when your LINE is with another company (like NTL / Virgin for example) but that is not something we need to worry about up here as there are no other line providers than BT.
