in Broadband & internet access
Ive just built a house and need a phone line connecting. I also am thinking of having the bt tv broadband and phone line deal £20. Is it any good? How much will i have to pay to have a line connected? Any advise please? Are there any better deals? Im currently out of contract with talk talk for broadband and phone and my sky deal is up soon. I want to be able to watch moto gp next year. Not bothered about movie channels etc.

    BT (this is 5 years ago now) were doing free installation, instead of £120, if you took out 18 months line rental. That's what I did.
    Talktalk can now install your phoneline, for I think, £60.
    Sky MIGHT be the same.
    Otherwise, whoever you go with, BT will be installing.
    Virgin is another option of course if you want to completely miss out the 'BT phoneline route.
    Is moto GP the one that's moving to BT Sport? BT Youview box is good.

    Check your LLU options with an exchange search on samknows.com , for starters.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    As this is a self-build I have to ask, just how far is this house from existing telephone infrastructure ? If it needs 20 poles and 400 yds of cable, £120 sounds a bit optimistic !
