Home phone and Internet

Hi all,

I have read other forum threads but I'm not 100% sure on the matter. Basically I'm moving to a rented flat on the 1st August. Their is a BT socket and have been told by the estate agents the phone line has been disconnected so wil need to be reconnected if we want a phone line and the internet. Do I have to get BT to reconnect the phone line? or can I get TalkTalk to do it? and lastly which is cheaper?

Thanks,

Chris
My advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

    Talk Talk or any of the major ISP/Phone companies will be able to arrange this for you.
    If the connection still exists this is usually free of charge, but some may charge an admin fee (£10-ish).
    If you have a current BB?Phone contract, check with your current ISP, but also have a look at other packages available as you may get better and this would be a good point to change if you are considering doing so.
