No connection charges, anyone else apart from BT

cbrpaul

Is there another tel coms company apart from BT , that will not apply a connection charge for joining them, even though I have an existing line and box at ymy property that WAS Bt in the past !!

Currently i can only find BT who will not charge the £120 connection fee

its just im currently with Talktalk out of contract , and im looking at my options

thx

Not really, as it is BTs network, they are in the best position to reconnect at the lowest cost. Any other provider would have to be offering a promotional offer to rebate whatever fee Openreach charged them to get the customer connected, and this often results with a minimum term commitment that far outweighs the benefit.

Most get BT to reactivate the line for the minimum term (which CAN be as little as 3 months if no major work needs done), or at worst 12 months, then switch the working linew to a supplier of your choosing.

BT will charge you for a reconnection if there is no dial tone. Whether there is a physical line and NTE5 master socket in place is immaterial.
