Companies such as Talk Talk and Primus are considered to be landline providers for phone service in United Kingdom. But are they truly this? While Talk Talk will inherit a small fiber optic cable network through their merger with Tiscali occurring in mid January 2010, the scale and scope of that network is very small when compared to the massive copper cable network that has existed throughout the United Kingdom for almost 100 years as part of BT. And with Virgin Media‘s fiber optic network providing super high speed service for television broadband and home phone in all of the major UK metropolitan areas, one can certainly see why they are valid as a comparable landline provider.

But most phone line providers in the United Kingdom, of which there are at least a dozen major companies, are merely subcontractors purchasing time on the line so to speak from one or both of these major cable network owners. Oddly enough the smaller companies are able to capitalize on their overall lower overhead and provide United Kingdom home phone customers with cheap phone calls and exceptional bargains on other services such as broadband and television.
