I just called for this offer and was told that it ended last month, I didnt need it anyway was I am migrating back from Talk Talk.

It seems this 'free installation' offer has now ended - anyone still having any luck?

GUTTED this has expired
Would have tied in nicely with the Sky+HD deal

I rang BT today and quoted all of the text in this article and they pretty much laughed at me and said they don't do it any more.

Even though I offered to sign up for an 18 month contract they still wanted £124ish if I just have a line or £50 if I take up broadband also to connect a new line. I told them that they wouldn't be getting my business if they didn't waive the connection fee and they weren't interested.

Apparently if you take up phone, broadband and TV it's a free connection. Of course it is, because they make more money out of you then!

Anyone know if they have any new free connection offers?
Thanks

Called BT on Monday to check I qualified for this and was told I did. Called today to get things moving and now being told that the offer was withdrawn on 26 February 2010 and the best they can do is £29.99 spread over 12 months interest free (unless i take digital tv and broadband from them).

Just made an order over the phone and they offer £29.99 installation for a new telephone line. The contract is for 18 months and I took the Unlimited weekend calling plan for £11.54 line rental.

The free line offer is no longer valid but this is the next cheapest installation compared to other providers:

Talktalk £59.99 (18 mths minimum contract)
Primus £69 (18 mths minimum contract)
Plusnet £50 (12 mths minimum contract and must be taken together with broadband)
Post Office £110 (no minimum contract)

Have just spoken with sky and if you thought it might be handy to install for sky, think again, i was told that their terms and conditions specify that you must make 10 calls per month through this line or you break these terms!!!

Ordered a new BT line for the ex last night (he is not capable of making phone calls etc, it's not me signing him up for stuff!!)

Took 2 calls - the first one I said that the free line rental had expired but was there anything else and the lad offered £29.99 for 18 months. But their computers were down so he would call me back.

He didn't, so I called again but this time was offered £124.99 cost! Mentioned about the previous offer and the lady told me that was only available if you were moving over from a cable supplier but let us have the deal.

So, we have:
£29.99 set up - spread over 6 months if paying by direct debit.
18 month Contract
Must make 10 chargeable calls a month or will be charged £6.50.
Choice of call plan - he took the £11.54 weekend one.

That one comes up like the proverbial bad penny. Where do they dig that nonsense up from?
