Not necessarilly - but the only way to find out is to ask BT.

I'm not sure if the link to BT's offer has been posted, but it will just help people searching through pages:

Same problem with me - moving flat and BT wants to charge me £125 to connect! Extortion. The post office can connect but they charge £110, a company called Primus can but they charge £69, and virgin and Talk Talk can connect you for between £35 and £40, but they want to tie you in for ages and are quite expension per month...but at least you are not giving your cash to the rip off merchants at BT.

I can't remember the dates but that means you missed the completely free installation offer then.

On the same note as the earlier msg, i am in rented accomodation and have to move as my landlord wants his property back, ive found another property in the block and called BT to transfer my current phone/broadband package over to the new No..... BT say not our line (Sky) therefore I need to pay a connection fee of £120.

In all previous communications with phone utilities (on trying to get the best package) i have been told that the local exchange is not open... so are Sky renting the line rom BT ? How easy would it be to switch and is it reasonable to expect the connection fee. If I decide to cancel my BT package i would have to forfit the remainder of the 12 contract (8 months) either way i am at a loss.

Whats the best thing for me to do ?

Before anyone attacks me for having a hissy fit over £120 - I'm not working at the moment due to ill health and am living on a very tight budget.
