Options for new phone line connections

For some reason most home owners are under the impression that the only company capable of connecting a new phone line is BT. Perhaps this is due to years of having British telecom as the only provider of phone service to the United Kingdom through its network of copper cables. While it is true that the vast majority of phone lines strung throughout the UK still belong to BT, it is also true that it is no longer necessary to rely upon a BT technician to connect your phone service and establish a dial tone. Any of the major United Kingdom landline providers will send a technician on call out to your home and install the wiring required for your new phone line. In fact if you are in an area served by Virgin Media and their company owned fiber optic network you will not be connected to the BT copper cable network at all. While this use of the Virgin Media network will not entitle you to free line rental it may provide you with the opportunity to save greatly on bundled services such as home phone service, broadband and television. Of course savings in these areas always depend upon your degree of usage.
