You don't need a new line or need to incur any charge to move from TT LLU, but you will almost certainly have to go via BT first.

The only exception I knwo of is plusnet (as mentioned above) given that it is a BT subsidiary

Sorry? A new line is what it says it is-a new or reconnection, .

Sorry ? but how can a " new line " be a
A:New line
and
B:reconnection ,

Cant be both surely !!!

Its two different things in reallity

A: New line ( a new drop wire to pole fitted for the purpose Unless a ug ( underground) supply , routed to exchange)

B: Existing line - reconnection ( all wires from house to exhange alrady existing , a simple 2 min job in the exchange to re-connect)

Yet the same charge applied for regardless , hence my point I am trying to get across here !!!

Yet im begining to give up !!

Shall we agree to disgree Mr M :rotfl:

BT do charge it as the same thing, be it a reconnection or a new line. I have always assumed they do that to subsidise the considerable cost of laying a completely new line, which obviously costs far more than £130. In effect, reconnection customers subsidise new connections.
What I was discussing was your claim that LLU migration is not free, when it is, as long as you use a return to donor. What BE were asking you to pay for was not a migration, because it's not possible to do that.

i have called , Post office and Bethere for phone , all have quoted between £86 - £130 to move from Talktalk LLu to them !!!

So any LLU migration is NOT free !!!

Your situation is NOT the same as the original posters. You have a TalkTalk LLU phone line and they have a BT line....

5. I am also with BT for my two phone lines - is it worth me changing the whole package? I have always stayed away from doing this as I just dont understand how it works!

LLU line migrations are not free (except back to BT who then impose a minimum contract).

LLU ADSL migrations though usually are free because the ISP absorbs the cost.
