Tuning in

Will Virgin still be renting lines from BT as usually our home phones go through BT lines so will our bills go down as no line rental needed ?

Hi @peasuncarrots

 

Thanks for posting on our community forum!

 

Thank you for the question, we only use Virgin Media cabling to provide services and this has been the case for a long while now 🙂

Virgin don't rent any lines from BT. Their network was built by the many cable companies that originally won the area franchises in the 1990s long before BT lines & exchanges were opened up to competition. Your Line Rental maintains Virgin's infrastructure. Even when your phone moves to a Hub based line it will still be using the majority of the existing headend telephone infrastructure.
