Out of curiosity, how much you paying for that fat British pipe?

I'm way behind the rest only because they don't want to connect fibre to houses atm, only apartments, but I get 21mb down/3mb up (bit, bot byte) + free world telephone + HD freesat for €30/mo which is standard in France.

From what I've learned, the free world telephone calls is something that BT do not want to relinquish, so because all/most operators travel through BT pipes, they don't allow VoIP landline capability, thereby crippling this selling point.
