I'm thinking of going with Be as per your suggestion, but fuck me, am I
missing something with BT's costs:

£10.75/month plus setup fee of £124.99

Is that normal? Grr.

When I went with NTL they had to install a new cable three floors up the
front building and they did this for free. All BT have to do is activate a
line which already exists. Grr. Grr.
