I got charged £125 for it as well, probably just needed to connect a wire in the box.
Tell them that Virgin won't charge you to connect to them or something, they might do it free?

yeah we got charged the £125 for connection in our student flat, took them all of 15 minutes including any tests an that! To get to that point however it took about 5 weeks of ringing and £60 worth of mobile phone calls (no landline ya see!)...... If you haven't got cable in your area, like ours, its a charge you have to stomach i'm afraid, as theres no alternative....

You think thats expensive, you try getting a completely new connection to a house (via new cabling).
One of our clients just had a quote for around £15000 for 100 metres of cable. BT wouldn't even have to dig the trench, just put the cable in it and connect up. Shocking, really is.

I moved into my new place which had a phone line present, however none of the wires were connected up. I phoned them up, they ran some sort of test over the phone (dubious tbh) and then said, o no its ok, the line is working in your place, we will send an engineer out to install a phone socket for you, free of charge?
