How much did BT want to charge to install BB,
 

A pensioner says BT has quoted her more than £150,000 :shocked: to install broadband to her rural home.

Never moan about £150 from VM :D

Was that up to £150,000?

Re: How much did BT want to charge to install BB,
 

Did they say what speed she would realistically get from the connection?

Re: How much did BT want to charge to install BB,
 

I would as installation is only £35 with Virginmedia.

How about areas that aren't on the network already, how much do Virgin want for those, 35 quid is it? ;)

Swings and roundabouts really. It's a scary figure but not shocking when you look at what's needed to delivery the service.

They do not get a price just a tacit refusal if not in a cabled area.;)

Then BT at least give a price even if it's a ridiculous one :p:

Re: How much did BT want to charge to install BB,
 

I would rather have the refusal.:p:

BT don't have that luxury, the regulator requires them to contribute to the costs and provide a price after their contribution.

Nothing to do with BT being dumb just their regulatory duties, something VM don't have to bother themselves with at the moment.

Nothing to do with BT being dumb but the regulatory body is being dumb, but no surprise there.:D

She should have said Yeah go ahead and put it on my bill, I will pay it off with my payment plan...

:rofl:

Wonder if she could have put it on her friends and family list? ;)
