New phone line
I'm soon going to be moving in to a brand new house, and need to have a phone line installed. But I know nothing about phone lines, so looking for some advice please.
Do I have to get BT to install the new line? As they want to chage £125. Is there any one cheaper? If I use BT(or anyone else) do I then have to use them for line rental for a fixed period? As I have Tiscali BB, and I'm interested/thinking of upgarding my package with them to cover the phone line rental as well. Can I do this, on a brand new line? Or is there any other company I can use that will offer me line installation, BB and line rental for a minimal ammount of money? I don't and won't actually use the home phone line for calls (incoming and outgoing), just need it for BB, so call rates or packages with free calls included don't interest me. |

You'd be tied to BT for line rental for 12 months (not for calls, but that doesn't concern you). You could pay BT £124.99 to have the line installed and another £70 to breach the 12 month contract though. |

if you value your time and sanity, do not go down the BT route, just getting someone on the phone to actually speak to is a work of art in itself, usually someone from abroad. I had major problems with BT recently and decided to stay with Virgin Media, slightly more expensive but the system works and the Broadband, if you have it, is a fixed speed not a "depends how good your line?" speed.
