Moving into a new flat and although there is a socket, BT say that the line is 'off' and want to charge me £129 to reconnect, thats more than I earn in a week!!!

Do i have any other options? all I want is a phone and broadband for as cheap as possible and i'm not allowed to have cable or satelite installed in the property

    Install or activate a new line
    – depending on your situation, we may have to install a new phone line or activate an old one. The standard cost for a new line is £110, subject to survey. But don’t worry – if there’s an old line that’s still active, you might not have to pay
