Can anyone help on this question.
If you had a BT line originally and you moved it to LLU supplier. If you then moved it back eg from say Talk Talk to BT, will BT raise a connection charge because the wiring needs to be rejigged?
I appreciate your have to sign a new contract with BT.
Thanks.

There is a fee but I believe BT may have a promotion at the moment which means the transfer fee is waived.
I'm sure some people on the boards have suggested they were being charged the full line connection charge of over £100.
The Phone Co-Op charge £50 +VAT (£58.75) for conversion from LLU.

Perhaps it'd be best then if each SP was forced to issue the below to potential customers so that they can make up their own minds whether their mark-up is reasonable.hammy_the_hammer wrote: »it's complicated because the charges are between the SP (service provider) and Openreach .... each SP then charges the EU (end user ...person at end of phone line)
http://www.openreach.co.uk/orpg/pricing/wlr/downloads/ORPLWLR_WA_Con.htmTime has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
i'd agree ...then let the EU decide whether they think the SP's mark up is acceptable (not that many want to get involved with providing service directly using Openreach...they'd rather get the EU to contact BT Retail first)0
