Direct Save Telecom launch UK's cheapest line-rental

When signing-up for a broadband deal the cost of line-rental is often forgotten as it is not included in the headline price, resulting in a nasty shock when the actual cost of your bill is revealed.

Budget ISP Direct Save Telecom has moved to ease this shock by introducing the UK’s cheapest advanced line-rental, customers will only pay £11 a month or £132 annually.

For the line-rental to go down to just £11 a month, it is usually £16.75, customers have to pay a year in advance. This is the cheapest advanced line-rental deal in the UK, the Post Office is next best at £12 a month, then Plusnet at £12.99.

When you add the £11 advanced line-rental to Direct Save’s £1.95 unlimited broadband deal, the savings really start to stack-up. To get Direct Save’s £1.95 unlimited 17Mb deal customers have to sign-up to a 24 month contract, which includes free evening and weekend calls. There is an initial set-up charge of £33.90. If customers agree to the advanced line-rental offer it means they only pay £189.30 in the first year, or £344.70 in total over the two years of their contract. Customers also get a discount card worth £50.

“Quite simply our £1.95 unlimited broadband deal, with the £11 advanced line-rental, is easily the cheapest deal around at the moment,” says Stavros Tsolakis, CEO of Direct Save Telecom.

“There are no hidden gimmicks or price jumps, we are not pretending it is free, we are just offering customers the chance to pay a lot less for their broadband.”
