British Telecom

Does anyone have any advice regarding them, I have recently moved into a new home and Sky have told me I can not get the broadband without the BT landline, funny thing that as one of my friends moved into her new home and did not require one.

What type of deposit will they require? I know I will fail the credit check?

Thanks for any replies :)

    i wanted to move from talktalk to BT in the summer but they wanted £150 deposit for 6 months which I thought was a bit steep so I didn't bother! But with all the trouble I've had recently with talktalk I wish I had :)

    How is your friend getting the BB without a BT phone line?

    My friends daughter who is in an IVA ordered her BT line on the net thinking that she would fail the credit check, but everything went through and she now has it installed in her house.

    I've got some advice - run like the wind. Wish I'd never got involved with BT - absolute nightmare.
