I have just rented a flat. They currently have a BT phoneline installed and nothing else.
My question is I might want to go with a broadband and TV service other than BT such as Virgin. ANd I know from years ago living at home, to get that service they had to drill holes through the wall and install some device which my landlord might not be happy about.
Is BT broadband my only choice? Please help me as I don't want to go without broadband for a whole week.

If you are unsure of which providers are available to you check out Samknows Broadband (Link). It can give you an idea of what providers are available to you. If LLU is avialable to you, it is recommended, because you can generally get much higher speeds from LLU providers (of course this is distance from the exchange dependant). Good examples of LLU providers are O2/Be (mind you recently they have had a few problems because of some issues). Sky (again this may be a problem because you said about your landlord) UKOnline are quite good, but their Wireless router is a mandatory £50 purchase I'm afriad to say. Try and avoid BT products if you can, they are terrible avoid Talk Talk, Tiscali and Orange as well, they are truly terrible especially Tiscali I have them and they are truly the worst.
