Need an 'active' BT line to get Sky broadband?

Hi folks,

Im shortly renting a property that BT believes has a line to the house, but is deactivated.

Im looking to get the Sky £18.99 broadband which includes line rental. Will there be a sting in the tail that I will have to pay to get the BT line up and running again, or is this normally included?

Many thanks,

Andy

    Possibly. You will have to ask Sky to confim but they usually say you need an active line.
  • I had to have a new line put in to get Sky Broadband....BT/Openreach came and installed it for free, all arranged by Sky.......Jack.

    Totally depends on Sky and what deals/offers they have on.
