No, no, sorry guys... the £40 is just the ISP/Surfime charge...

Your HH line rental is still there, just the same as always.

It does, indeed, cost you £80 per month for Home Highway + Surftime +
Demon.

And now, I need to go and smash things into smaller things in the back
garden.

Confused.....

My BT Home Highway line costs me £40/month. That's just my line
rental to BT
for the Home highway, and includes a £15/month call allowance. (but
that's
voice calls only!)

On top of that, I pay £14.99 to BT Internet for the
"anytime" package, for
the 0808 number...

If all I do is change ISP's from BTI to Demon, surely it's going to end up
costing much the same? - My HH charges aren't going to change...
