I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to these things. I thought about getting the Sky deal for Sky TV, Broadband and a landline, since I don't have any of those already. Would I still have to pay a reconnection charge? Any help much appreciated, cheers.

You won't be able to sign up for broadband unless you've got an active phone line in the first place, and BT are the only folk that can connect your line as they control all the telecoms infrastructure.
So, in short, you'll need to pay the reconnection charge. Bummer.
