Setting up a landline connection

• Call BT on: 0808 100 7722 or sign up online to get a new connection or reconnect an active line at your property.

Charges to get your landline set up

• Installation charge of £122.50 - sometimes BT waives this charge when you sign up for a monthly broadband contract. These deals are always worth looking out for.
• If there is a working BT line in the property there should not be any charge to get set-up.
• Monthly line-rental starts at £11.25.

Do I have to sign a 12 month contract with BT

• Yes. Should you wish to cancel this and switch to another provider you will be subjected to a cancellation charge of £70.

Live in a cable broadband area?

Cable, or fibre optic, broadband is a service provided by Virgin Mobile and is for the most part only available in urban areas. With fibre optic technology, internet data comes to you through an underground network of cables, hence there is no need for a BT line.

Unlike the copper wires of an ADSL connection, the cables are partially made of fibre-optic material. The reason why you can attain much faster broadband speeds with cable is that the material used allows for far less signal degradation.

Choose mobile broadband

Mobile broadband is the latest technology in wireless broadband; it allows you to access the internet on your laptop almost anywhere, even when you’re abroad. You don’t have to be plugged into an Ethernet connection or even be in range of a hotspot because this technology provides you with your very own portable modem.
