    Plenty of other providers can activate your line from about £80 upwards. How can BT charge you for choosing someone else?
    Do an exchange search on www.samknows.com to see what your LLU options are, these will be the cheapest for you.

    Call BT and see how much a connection would be for them as a BT line means Heinz program gives you the best of ALL providers on a per call basis, you can pay £120 upfront for a year of discounted line rental - thats a 1/3 saving per month if you do not do direct debit payment to BT & line rental in April goes up again unless you pay upfront


    o2 do a broadband ALL ROUNDER package for 12 months for £12.25 as a customer or Orange £10 as a customer (payg or contract for either)
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)
