BT to increase connection charge for new lines

gt94sss2

Just a heads up...

BT are going to increase their charge for installing a brand new line to £124.99 (inc VAT) from £99.99 from the 1 June 2006.

This will apply to both residential and business lines.

As such, if anyone needs a new BT line, I suggest you order before the start of June
