Moving in with the Missus and need to get broadband to be able to "work" from home. She has no current land line with anyone at the moment - what's the cheapest way to get online?
I would strongly advise buying a new house with a phone line already installed.</p> This is the cheapest option after BT has hit you with a multitude of installation fees.</p>
Sorry mate Just going on my own horrendous experiences.</p> Hope you have chosen wisely Grasshopper.</p>
You could always opt out of being a tit. And not move in with the missus. Otherwise get a BT landline and Talk Talk 3 international with free broadband. Free uk calls. Free international calls (EU, Canada, USA, NZ, Oz) Free broadband. £11 line rental + £9.99 = £20.99 monthly for the lot. The one glitch could be the reliability of the broadband but so far that's just speculation.

RE: You could always opt out of being a tit. Would there be a minimum period when you have to stick with BT? I was just thinking about this as I have my phone and cable with Telewest, so although I have a BT line to the house it's not connected - so to get the TalkTalk from Carphone Warehouse would I have to first switch back to BT in which case would I be subject to a minimum term contract?
RE: You could always opt out of being a tit. Will BT bum my ass for the original landline installation though?</p>
RE: You could always opt out of being a tit. If you are in a cable area you could opt for vable broadband/phone instead

RE: Fu Start as you mean to go on. Show no weakness, even when she gets the bottom lip quivering or refuses to suck you off.
I worked on "subscription reselling" in Sweden i.e. paying a different operator than the national one for your line rental and stuff. Although in most cases this was people swapping from the national operator (BT in this case) to another provider, the system also allowed for new numbers going straight to the smaller provider. I think this is the way the anti-competition stuff was set up when it all changed in the 90's so I should imagine it's the same here, i.e. you should be able to get a landline set up and go directly to being charged everything including line rental by whoever you want. The smaller operator is charged for setup costs and this is passed on to you through an initial connection charge and a contract "binding period".
RE: You could always opt out of being a tit. From a business point of view all phone companies are cnuts. However, give them a ring and see what offers they have for broadband packages etc. for the domestic user. </p>
RE: The CW contract is 18 month anyway. But would I have to swtcih to BT first and have a 12 month contract before I could then switch to CW? think I'll stick with Blueyonder for now till I find out how reliable the CW connection is.
