Here in the UK, we have to pay line rental for the copper cables in use of ADSL connections.

The same should apply to Fiber Optics cables.

After all, we're using their network.

What the hell is line rental
Is it something silly like tv tax? Does the line police knock on your door to check if there's a copper wire sticking out your drywall?

>>60567841
It's money paid to use a telephone line.

Line rental is a scam that costs about £17 a month because allegedly that's how much it costs to maintain a bit of cable between the telephone exchange and your house.

ISP's don't have their own network, though.

They all have to lease the copper cable from BT Openreach.

Yep, UK here too. Still don't know what you're fucking gibbering about.

Openreach charge all service providers "line rental" for any access network connection whether it's POTS, ADSL, VDSL "fibre" or actual FTTP.

In the UK line rental pays for Openreach (used to be run by BT) to maintain the central broadband and telephone network. All providers can access this network meaning they compete keeping prices low.

Additionally if a provider like Kcom, Sky or virgin media use their own infrastructure and network to connect customers then the customer doesn't pay line rental.


I know in Americuck and other third world shitholes the networks are all private meaning certain providers only offer coverage in certain areas and prices are very high meaning its essentially a cartel.

ITT:Americucks shitting on the UK despite still managing to pay more for less.
