    No, it is a charge raised by BT for disconnecting, Plusnet and most ISP's pass it on to the customer.

    If you were migrating to another supplier (using a MAC) then there wouldn't be a charge. But as Cajef says BT (Openreach) levy this charge when a contract is terminated (so as to remove tag markers from the line, I believe) so most ISPs pass it on.
