Thanks for that info, m419.

So I'll ring them and ask about Call Sign anyway (although I'm ex-NTL so probably No).

The install cost of BT certainly puts me off, and I'm very happy with my existing Virgin BB and phone. Due to package costs, I'd have to take my BB to BT too if I switched, and I don't want to swap cable for the bit of doorbell wire that I've already got for BT - it's not even twisted pair, so I wouldn't hold out much hope.

Plus I'd have to do a lot of wiring to get BT up and running - the NTL line is already where it needs to be, the BT one isn't.

So I'm fairly decided on a second Virgin phone line then.

Just two questions remaining:

Does anyone know whether the second line will already be connected to the house?
Do NTL require me to pay just one calls package for both lines or one package per line?

Thanks all.

Aha - so "standardisation" = reduce all services to the lowest possible!

Thanks for the info though.

In my case they'd probably double it, as I don't even have a first line.

If BT did do Call Sign then I would have got away with one line, but I have read that BT won't install it for new customers anyway.

So BT isn't a sensible option if they won't do Call Sign.
