If there was ever a BT line there (probable) then no.

So what's that like 50 notes?

Was £70 I thunk it's now £120 but very few people pay for a new connection - most can have the free re-connection.

Is it worth all that hassle over the £8 extra? thats another 10 months with VM at her current state, again money she cant afford?

You tell me - if she's that poor then yes. If it's just an excuse as to why she hasn't paid her bill then probably not.
£8 a month doesn't sound much but it's £96 a year. That's alot of food to someone who's truly living on the breadline!
Like Marge said - you need to cut your cloth when you're poor. Most of us have been there and I couldn't afford Digital TV or the internet no matter what I wanted to do with it.
If she dumps the TV too then she can save even more money. A Freeview box is only £20 and the kid will get plenty of cartoons on there. Although some would argue he'd be better out playing with his mates.
