ive just bought a new house and theres no virgin line coming into the house
i know its in the ntl area as neighbours have got virgin lines

just wanted to know whats cheapest way to get a line in the house to connect a eurovox? what should i subscribe to with the shortest contract?
Or do engineers connect a line privately too?

thanks

Erm go for the telephone package with the free tv. Or go for the cheapest broadband package. Lets u least contribute to VM and keep your Virgin line online.
£20 for there 10mb package. Cheapest one now.
£11 a month for virgin phone line with the free tv.

thanks, thtats sorted
will they charge for fitting too?

Doesn't mention anything bout installation fee. Which you gonna pick?
Cos if you go for the Phone line then your tied in with Virgin for that phone line and you cant go for a ADSL Broadband Provider such as BT, Sky Broadband or TalkTalk etc.

i thought il go for the phone line with free tv at £11 a month
im not really bothered about broadband, i got a usb modem stick anyway

i wouldnt mind doing that, would save me £11 a month lol
but iv just moved in recently and i dont know them very well
so il subscribe to virgin lol

Lol. Its probs best to, most likly cos if you nock into the neighbours connection they could mention your name to virgin for fraud. Not that you aint already. Best to keep it under wraps.

aadil123 · 09-05-09, 08:33 PM

im just wondering..

is there a way where an engineer installs a line into my house without any contract and i just pay him a one-off fee?

AciidSn3ak3r · 09-05-09, 08:36 PM

Hmm maybe a dodgy installer but thats about it i think.
Do you have a lil brown box on the outside of the house by anychance?
