    also, I probably need to pay this one-off fee to reconnect the line, don't I?
    is that £125 ?

    Yes you would have to pay BT Line Rental on top: (the following is taken from the BT website)


    Is the line rental cost included?

    Line rental isn't included as part of your broadband package. If you have a BT landline, line rental costs £10.50 a month (with Direct Debit and paper-free billing) and includes free UK* Weekend calls as standard.


    Try ringing 150 from the line and ask them how much to reconnect.
    Waddle you do eh?

    great O2 is available in my area. That seems the way to go then.
