BT Phone Line

[nowayout]

I am looking to change from Virgin Media to Sky, do I have to have a BT line because I am with Talk Talk at the moment.

think it would be best to get back on bt m8 i read somewhere else that someone
else had a talk talk line and sky connected them with broadband but talk talk updated the phoneline and sky broadband was cut off dont know if they got put back on again or not but if it was a bt line then bt would have fixed it but i dont think talk talk will be happy to find sky broadband on his line

slightly off topic but yet kinda related.

I had a sales guy knock on the door last night from talk talk, he started saying how talk talk can save money when i butted in saying i would save him some time as I have just signed up with Sly for phone and BB to which he said " I don't blame you Sky offer a much better service and pricing"

Tomorrow my Line Rental will be transferred from BT to Talk Talk. I understood this to be just paying TalkTalk for my BT line but now I'm not so sure it's that simple!
I can't get Sky Broadband on my line cos it was rejected due to activity taking place on my line i.e. the transfer of line rental.
Do you think it will be possible to tell TalkTalk to get lost and cancel the transfer (BT told me it was too late - it WILL go through tomorrow around 12noon!)? Or do you think I can ask them to put me back on BT line rental ASAP and complain about the restriction of broadband choices on the line now that they have taken it over?? Apparently they will block any broadband (other than theirs) on the line and also prevent the use of cheap access numbers like the 14181, or whatever, that we can put before calling international numbers, etc.

YES YOU NEED A BT LINE

sorry to shout, but it states in the T&C's that you need it
