New home - who should I connect to?

I have just bought a second home and want to get connected - phone and broadband. I use Talktalk at home, and this is good value.
But who should I connect to in the new one? I know BT are doing free connection, but would I be better off connecting with TalkTalk? Or stick with BT for the minimum term and then switch? Or another other provider of course!
Thanks.

    Talk Talk might fit a new line direct. 24 month contract.:eek:

    There is a box already so no installation needed, just connection

    That,s ok if the line is still in place and working (with dialing tone) between the exchange and the master socket. If not reinstallation work may be required.

    This what BT say about the connection charge.

    "If your home has had a telephone service from BT in the recent past, and the wiring and socket is undamaged and the line still has dialling tone, it's likely you won't need to pay this charge. But where there's no suitable BT line available in your property, no dialling tone on the line, or if you have been disconnected for non-payment in the past, the standard connection charge will apply."

    PS. Is it a new build ?
