Tv and broadband best option

Hi I am helping a friend who has just moved and they want a cheap BB deal and evenings and weekend calls.
I called virgin who quoted 27.50 (with BB free for 2 months) however they want £79 to connect the phone line.
I called BT who don't charge a connection fee but their monthly costs for the same deal are £47 !! nearly double
Is there any provider doing anything cheaper, or are there any loopholes/tricks to get this at the best possible price.
Thanks in advance

You can get much cheaper from other providers but if you want the line connected for free BT are probably your best option.
However, you can def. get it cheaper than £47 a month. Option 1 on an 18 month contract is £7.99 for the first 3 months, then £15.99 which even with line rental is only £27.53.
It's hard to advise without knowing your area, though, you can see the services available with a postcode or phone number here: http://www.chooseisp.co.uk/compare/broadband-phone.asp
Hope this helps!0
