whats the point of joineing up sky when u pay more lol.thought they was comeing out next week thought wrong they all like bt

we were moving from virgin to sky so rang bt up

we had no socket at all said it would be free but if they came and found a box it would be £130

i _think_ if you get sky, they will sort it out with bt and reimburse you with the connection money

been there hade call from them comeing out next week bt is @hit

in my old house we didnt have a box or anything so they had to put the wire in fit box ect cost £25

hi is there a way to do it on line aftear the bt work is done then u got to pay the full 125

I moved into my new place which had a phone line present, however none of the wires were connected up. I phoned them up, they ran some sort of test over the phone (dubious tbh) and then said, o no its ok, the line is working in your place, we will send an engineer out to install a phone socket for you, free of charge?

yes i live in a flate the main box is in the corridor out side ever ones main box is in hall way not me i think they neaver put on in i be paying 125 thursday

You think thats expensive, you try getting a completely new connection to a house (via new cabling).

One of our clients just had a quote for around £15000 for 100 metres of cable. BT wouldn't even have to dig the trench, just put the cable in it and connect up. Shocking, really is.

yeah we got charged the £125 for connection in our student flat, took them all of 15 minutes including any tests an that! To get to that point however it took about 5 weeks of ringing and £60 worth of mobile phone calls (no landline ya see!)...... If you haven't got cable in your area, like ours, its a charge you have to stomach i'm afraid, as theres no alternative....

I got charged £125 for it as well, probably just needed to connect a wire in the box.

Tell them that Virgin won't charge you to connect to them or something, they might do it free?

hi i moved in to a flat and there is a bt line there just not connected up and they wanted 125 to do it and £11 50 a month line rental.

do u think thats right i just need it connected and thats all but theres a line there.
