Internet in new flat

[talkshowhost]

HI,

I'm in the process of moving flats at the moment and want to get the internet sorted. There is a phone line in the new flat but it is not connetced. Now I have just been on the online chat with BT and unless I am massively mistaken it seems I need to take out a conttact with BT in order for them to reconnect the line? They won't just charge to reconnect without subscribing to one of there services.

Now I do not need a home phone (I have a mobile) so how do I go about getting the internet through a different ISP (preferably Be). Virgin is not in my flat so it has to be through the BT line.

Confused!

Thanks

Thanks for your reply - this seems ridiculous! I probably won't be in the flat for 18 months so I have really limited options. An 18 month contract with their cheapest service is the best part of £200.

May have to look into sky and if I need to get TV as well then I'm sure I could live with it.

It was - i've got a reconnection letter. That will still surely mean i would need to subscribe to a phone line before I can get the net through someone else?
