The standard BT charge is £130, so £70 is not bad.
But I would not opt for Orange broadband at any price-one of the worst rated providers around.

Depends what offers are available at the time. Any provider will have to recover the sum charged by BT Openreach for reactivating the line.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
