We would then change to internet only.

But long and short, for us, doing nothing means it will all still work.
I am with plusnet , owned by BT

Plusnet are not doing new broadband and phone packages .....but BT are

If I change provider to say BT I will have to pay Plusnet , owned by BT, a fee for leaving them to go to the people who own them

It's all cobblers

So I am going to stay with Plusnet if I can and see if I can find someone to keep my number with this VOIP

But it's a load of crap I could do without to be honest
