Default Phone socket? how to get connected? ring BT?

As title, if a phone socket is present/installed but not connected i know i have to ring BT but just wondered would they do it straight away or would they fanny around telling me it will take 1-2 weeks etc? and also how much will they sting us for?

All depends on what's there, if the line is still connected all the way to the exchange, or if it will
Need connecting externally,
Sure the wait is a good 2 weeks on provision.

Best to ring and find out, but I've heard that the cheapest provider for inslation charge in royal mail/ post office,
But sky, talk talk etc are worth a try aswell

You still need an active BT line for Sky!

Ask them and point out that you might be getting cable so they would have to be competetive.....
