Re: NTL broadband on an NTL phoneline impossible?

In terms of installing a BT phoneline - I'm a little confused about my options here.... basically I live in a large block of apartments, pretty newly converted, the whole block is on NTL - all 12 floors.

How easy would it be to get a BT phoneline put in? It seems to me like I'd be creating a lot of work for BT, to get a phoneline installed on the 8th floor. Not that I'm averse to the idea of giving them something to do, but my other concern is - am I even allowed to do this in such a building? they're presumably going to need to get access to a lot of communal areas and I just don't know if this would be possible.... Or maybe they could use the current NTL lines? I don't know much about these things....

I realise that this is probably the wrong forum for this but any help much appreciated - thanks!
The best thing to do would be to call BT. They will need to check with your landlord whether they can install lines, but they will be the best ones to tell you if they can install a BT line in your block.

Then check with one of the ADSL Broadband suppliers. Neil would probably suggest pipex. I personally would recommend Bulldog broadband, but you may be better off checking ADSL Guide. They may need to liaise with BT about the installation, so it will take a few weeks.
