Landline needs installing

andy1314

Hi all, do you know who is the cheapest to do this? I'm joining Sky and they'll do it for free but not until end of October and as I work from home, I'm looking to get it installed asap and get back online. Any advice or suggestions welcome, thanks.

They also do not provide business-class services, only residential. So if you have business-critical needs, they are not worth considering.

I'm currently with virgin for telephone and internet. I have tv with sky. This is the most expensive combination I find. I don't want to leave sky for virgin tv. Other family members have virgin and we prefer sky tv to virgin tv (better menus, handsets etc). Though I would be prepared to leave sky and rejoin to get a better bundle offer. My sticking point is that to get cheaper bb or phone (e.g plusnet,primus) recommended on these boards is that I don't have a BT line and its so expensive to get one installed (£150), but I can see I can get it for £60 from post office as you recommend here and that is the cheapest I've seen so I think I might do that. Is there any cheaper offers out there? Thanks a lot.

Also I rang Primus. They have a homesaver offer not mentioned on here - of a free line installed, monthly charge for this incl line rental, free eve/wkend calls, 20gb broadband, 12 month contract, free line install, £4.95 delivery charge for router is £13.99 pm. I thought that was super as well.

Have you read the various reports about Primus ?

I'm just working my way through the MSE page about how to get cheap broadband so I'm just pricing at the moment but reviews will be a key part of my decision. So thanks for the reminder. Bad reviews is the key reason why I will not look at talk talk ever!

Since it's BT OR who do the install regardless of your provider, the install lead time will not vary. 4 weeks is perfectly normal for a new line provision.
