Yes. Many ISPs, including UKFSN, can provide the phone line (based upon BT 
lines provided wholesale) as well as the broadband service. The costs wont 
be much less however unless the provider are running a loss leader.

will bundle it with a number of other services while others will charge it 
openly.
