I don't recall this being raised here before but BT have offered it to me for several years now. This year they offer a 12-month discounted cover for £219.14 including a £19.99 monthly discount. (My usual monthly discounted payment is about £43.)
Up to now, I have responded to telephone calls asking for the money and paid through them. This year, it is an email with a tag to go to the payment facility but in fact it just lands me in a
welter of connections, none of which mentions line rental saver. For that matter, I have never been able to get an explanation of why I can't simply authorise an increase in my direct debit to allow for it.
Before I engage in an interminable wait on the phone to get through to BT, can anyone enlighten me on this facility please?

Full price £43 - is that just for a landline?
If so I'm sure you could do considerably better.

“Now” offer phone, calls and FTTC broadband for £20 a month.

Cheers for that, if it's still the same when my Plusnet contract ends in September I'm in (Unless they match it, of course).

If you're sure you pay by direct debit, then I wouldn't have thought you need to do anything. BT control how much money they take!
Have you tried googling 'BT Line Rental Saver'?

Yes, to no effect. By the way, the latest monthly bill was £41.90, for broadband and 3 "out of plan" phone calls (I don't use the phone much).

You're paying too much.
I'm with Plusnet (effectively BT). It's just gone up to £19.86 for unlimited slowband and line rental, plus £9.41 for 24/7 calls to landlines and mobiles.
I'd suggest you look at MSE.

>>You're paying too much.
De acuerdo. I pays £18:95 for fibre to the cab, with Onestream. Calls are made wiv 'smart' phone via giffgaff.
