    Free BT line installation
    Until 30 September, you can get free BT line installation; this is a massive saving as usually it would set you back £122.50. This applies to new lines, reconnections or even having second lines fitted and isn't dependant on already having a master socket.

    However, it involves signing up for an 18 month contract, rather than the usual 12, and you'll need to make at least ten calls per month but these can be inclusive calls if you get a BT package. Either way though, the installation cost should dwarf any call costs.

    How to get the deal
    This isn't available online; to get it you need to ring 0800 800 150, lines are open Monday to Friday 8am to 9pm, Saturday 8am to 8pm, Sunday 9am to 6pm. When you call, ask for the 'New line free connection offer'.

    When BT ran a previous similar offer, there were some reports of people having difficulty getting the deal. BT has assured us the call centre is well briefed so there should be no problems this time.

    You won't have to pay anything up front, it'll simply appear on your bill as a charge then a credit. If you do try and cancel your agreement before the 18 months is up, you'll have to pay the remainder of the contract.

    Slash call costs
    You'll automatically get free weekend calls with BT's basic 'Unlimited Weekend Plan', which as the name suggests gives you inclusive weekend calls, without any additional fee. To do this you need to commit to a 18 month contract at the usual line rental cost of £11.25. Do ensure you sign up to paperless billing and pay by direct debit otherwise line rental shoots up to £14. While usually the evening and weekend package is also free, you won't get it with the free line installation offer.


    You won't be able to get this offer if you're still in term with any other residential offers.

    Shouldn't this be in deals and not freebies?

    ...as you have to sign up to an 18 month contract to get the free installation

    Do you actually want another line (which will incur monthly line rental charges) or just another socket? If the latter this deal isn't for you; just buy what you need from clarity.it and fit it yourself.

    Had an arguement with B.T. over 20 years ago. The minute cable companies appeared on the scene I switched to them.

    I wouldn't have B.T. even if they gave me free calls. :x

    Voted hot................it's a good offer for those interested. ;-)

    hate BT

    they are ba*tards.

    and 50p tax for us is wrong. Is nothing to do with virgin media. diamond cable managed fibre network with private investment - so could BT...

    how long has this been going on for?

    well didnt realised sky will install lines just going to sign up to sky so might as well go with them for 25.00 installation, quidco are offering £60.00 cashback so that will cover that charge.

    Never had or wanted Sky but with a HD service guess I should take a look - can anyone tell me if its possible to get progs off the HD box and on to a Mac? Also how fast is their broadband?

    Mostly tempted to go with this and just get Be/O2.

    If you do not make at least 10 calls per month, you will get charged a penalty on your bill. Its easy to forget to make these calls

    another option is to go through sky , if you are interested in their free sky + box etc .... you only have to pay £ 25 for the bt line and sky will pay the rest ... and only 12 month contract
    i got sky+hd box for £50 free line rental for the whole year and free hd for month ,free movies and sport to try for 2 months and £ 50 tesco vouchers tooo .... so very good value for money

    This is a great deal, I ordered my line yesterday as I was not prepared to pay the £122 installation.

    The only thing I don't like is having to make 10 calls a month but for a free line installation i'm not complaining, I can't deal with the mobile broadband thing anymore!!

    Woo hoo broadband here i come!

    How did you get this deal ? did you telephone them up (SKY that is). I have just moved into a new flat and was thinking of just getting the basic BT line rental and getting my boradband with O2, but if this deal is for real then I would prefer paying max 60 pm for landline, broadband and HD !!
