    I've never understood the £125 - Openreach charge £34.86 plus VAT for moving from LLU to Wholesale Line Rental or a different LLU provider according to the pricing section of their website, and have done for a year now.

    The phone co-op are very good at having more realistic-to-cost charges for such things, as they don't tend to subsidise or overcharge new connections.
    They offer LLU conversion back to BT wholesale for Phone Co-Op billing for £39.15. I'm bemused why BT Retail charge the full £125 in such an instance.

    They are not the cheapest, or the most expensive. They are just more upfront, honest and plain talking than anyone else I've dealt with.

    BT Wholesale is a for profit division of BT, mass profits subsidise & raise share price
