For additional peace of mind, Vodafone will also offer customers a 30-day money back guarantee. Vodafone At Home will be available to 97% of UK households from launch by utilising BT Wholesale's broadband network as announced in September 2006.

VodafoneNZ does something similar thanks to its recent purchase of ISP and landline / toll call provider iHug.
It's rumoured that next year VFNZ will be offering a service where your mobile is billed as a landline when you're at home and a mobile when you're out and about.
You can even be allocated a landline phone number.
Is that available / rumoured elsewhere?
