Bloody BT

[Wossi]

Seeing as I pick up the keys to the new house on Friday I figured I'd get in touch with BT about getting a phone line sorted as the area isn't cabled for Virgin. Had a gander at the BT website regarding connection fees and noticed this little gem:

Please note that some properties, for example new property developments, may have a white BT socket installed that hasn't been connected (ie no dialling tone). In this case the standard connection charge will still apply.

Arse biscuits, that's £122.50 to find from somewhere then

Not exactly fair when you think about it, we have 2 choices really, pay the £122.50 to get a phone line and thus the internet. Don't pay it and get no phone line or internet Surely they can't get away with this?

You reckon there's any chance I can get them to waive the fee or not?
