I have been quoted for putting a line capable of carrying a broadband connection at £85 connection, as well as extra charges if needed following a site survey. I was sent the modem foc, and then BT told me that the extra charges would be £26,806, something that my business cannot afford just to get on the internet. My order has been cancelled. Fortunately I do have broadband at home and can therefore run my website from there, without the extortionate extra charges.

A couldn't find any trace of the original source of the statistic though - be nice to track it down.
