I was with BT but(i blame orange broadband) my bill was £550 which i couldnt afford.
I have been cut off from my BT landline making my non-existant broadband from Orange happily off.
Obviosly i have a line which is only 18months old in a new build house but can i now ask a different line provider to possibly activate this line, if not do i have any options at all?

thanks for any advice given. Allen
Forums can be/are a good guide to entitlement and it is good practice to back it up with clarification from the relevant department/specialist with written confirmation to safeguard yourself.

    If you have been cut off due to non-payment you will need to clear the debt, or make an arrangement with BT to do so, before the line can be reactivated.
