bt rip off merchants - anyone know a phone engineer ?
I am looking for some info and possibly a small? job done...
I have been looking to switch to sky talk from virgin as sky offered me quite a good deal on the whole package (tv,bb & phone) - as I have virgin bb and phone - with sky telly. so I called bt tonight to ask how I go about switching back to them and the guy told that because my bt line has not been used in more than 1 year it has ceased - and that it would cost £125 to get it unceased - ****** that I thought as I paid them initially to get the bt line in the house to begin with !! so if anyone knows a bt engineer who could help me out then I would would like to know.. I would pay him of course and hoepfully he wouldnt charge £125...:cool: |
Re: bt rip off merchants - anyone know a phone engineer ?
I don't know about that but you do know that when your with Sky you still have to pay BT monthly line rental. Because Sky offered us the £26 a month thing for bb, tv and phone. When we read the small print we realised it would cost an extra £9.99 per month because of the line rental.

yeah I know and I actually think its £11.99 - which doesnt bother me...sky have offered me sky telly with all the movies and all the sports, skytalk with free calls during the day as well as the usual free night and weekend calls and sky bb (mid package) for £33 a month for 5 months...then upto £47 ther after...just now I am paying £25 odd for sky alone without sports or movies - and whatever for my bb & phone with virgin..so it is a good deal they have put in front of me..
just dont see why I have to pay £125 to bt when the line is still there along with the box on the wall - all bt have to do is flick a switch - and they charge £125 to do so !! |

Why not just ring Virgin and get a better price ?

I thought your BT line had to be connected to get Sky. If you want a BT engineer just keep your eye open for them working in the area and ask if they fancy doing the job. My sister did that and saved a fortune.

Sky seem to be a law unto themselves; I have been with them for over 10 years and am looking to move house;I thought my loyalty would count for something but apparently not ! I would get a better deal,and a new sky box by cancelling at my old address and setting up as a new customer all over again when I move !:confused:

We've got Sky TV and not got a BT line.
Not sure an engineer would be able to do it. It probably has to be recorded somewhere and the cost accounted for. |

I should have clarified that I was referring to Bernie's post.
