Well a number of other forum users have said BT waived the installation fee because there wasn't much work to do (in their new'ish homes), so if this is in fact a BT line I'm hoping they'll waive the fee for me too.
When I last called them a couple of months ago I told them it was a new property and a BT line had never been used in the house. I was told in that case I would need a BT line installing, costing £125. But now that I've discovered this I think I'll tell them there's a cable coming into the house which I think may be a BT line, and see what they say.
Thanks for the help.

OK now a few more things have occured to me. (Note I don't have any experience with ADSL)
1. Is it standard to have only one BT line point in the whole house? We have 3 NTL ones at the mo.
2. Is installing points in other rooms in the house part of the BT line installation cost?
3. If this line in the living room is the only one, I presume both phone and BB will need to be connected to it (through one of those filters)?
4. If other points are installed in the house, would it still be best to hook up BB to this 'master' line in the living room for the best speeds? Or would that not make a difference?
Wow I never thought this thread would turn into this
Thanks again.
