In my recent move, I thought I might have to pay the 124 squid BT fee... Sky did the same offer. In a nutshell, I pay 124 quid and i get so many months free, from sky.
But my house is also a new build, and most in the area already have Bt lines installed, before being sold.
It depends on who you get on the end of the line at BT, but the second attempt, I got a nice lady who checked...and said Bt only need to switch it on at thier end, so it's free connection. Which was done on the date I said I was moving in.

I think, It should only cost if they need an engineer out to conenct harware/wire and sockets to your house. If the sockets are already in, more than likely they just need digitaly turned on.

No compensation though for having a dodgy ISP as in my case for adsl haha
