I paid £125 last year simply for the guy to come from BT and flick a switch. Have you seen phone sockets there?

there's a webbie somewhere i think where you can check if the BT line is active. And yes, it's a lot of money if it's not already wired up.

I was told it was £125 whether to flick a switch, or put a whole new line in, makes no difference, could be wrong though... |

you should never be paying for switch flicking if there's already a line in. mine was free 6 months ago

If there's no BT line, but there is a cable line, I'm sure BT will be more than happy to wire you up FOC to get your ongoing custom.
dousche - why do you want a BT line specifically?

You can use a virgin phone line for Sky. Doesn't have to be BT. And unless you have multiroom, it only needs to be connected once, at install time. Run a looooong extension lead from a neighbour  . |

Sky+ for telly, Virgin for phone and broadband. That's the winning combo imo.

for sky. virgin tv sucks ass Get sky to install your phone line and take out sky line rental. I think I paid £60 for the phone installation when I moved house. (it is installed by a BT engineer using BT openworld) I think sky line rental is a few quid cheaper than BT too;. |
