From the site : "no belgacom fixed line? promo now only *5,00* euro/month extra during the first 12 months (instead of 13,31 euro)"
So yes, we are getting this from Bommel, we don't want or need a phone line from Belgacom. Make note that most of the prices are for the first 12 months only, but hey...
Seeing that their non-promo price is the same as what I'm paying now, it could quite possibly be the same. As said, I also thought I had ordered a phone line from EDPnet, but it was a Belgacom guy who came to connect it. Possibly Belgacom still has a monopoly on the actual copper line infrastructure?
There's is little information about this subject :/ But it seems fairly logical Belgacom (RTT) has set up all of the copperlines and is still maintaining them at this point. And to be honest, as phonelines are almost a necessity and a public service, it would be a shame if parts of the copperline network would fall 100% into the hands of the industry and was inaccessible for the Belgian gov. The state still owns 50,1% of all shares of Belgacom, so we're safe ;) Ah, the point is that dommel rents the phonelines.
