Be24 want £24 for connection, BT want £124.99 to reconnect, in theory I have to find £150 because VM are blocking me, bastards.

you have explained to BT that you are a returning customer yes?  and that you already have a BT copper to your house?  Ive never known them actually charge you for reconnection when you want to get a line activated.  They just tie you into a 12 month contract.  Also, O2 dont charge activation.

i guess Ive been unlucky with BT, Ive made 3 call two say £124.99 and I said to the 3rd Im paying for you lot to do nothing, he did a PO check and confirmed an engineer will need to come out, put me on hold and never answered me again, so as yet Im to pay full price, i dont want yearly contracts.

BT have to charge you that to re-connect you.... some monopoly / unfair compertition rule says they have to do it or it would be unfair on the other companies who couldent compeet

dont know why you dont give newsgroups a bash TBH
Torrents are slow most of the time & aint worth the hassle

Maybe try a trial - you can have a 3 day/10gb trial for free with giganews
