Unusual problem!!!

i hope someone can give me some advice on this please.

My wife and i have split up and she has moved out into a flat until our house is sold. She has also taken the phone number with her to the new address. Can i still use my broadband connection even although the house now has no phone number attached to it? I still have sockets and a line in , just no number, and if i cant , how do i go about getting it back again. Thanks

ps About 2 weeks after the number was transferred , the internet access just stopped

  • ask BT to reactivate the line, with a new number, and get broadband from someone?

    I still have free broadband running with my Orange mobile package but i dont want to be tied to a 12 month bt contract. I wouldnt use the phone, i just need an active line.
  • no phone line = no broadband down the phoneline.....

    maybe go for a mobile broadband option...though I'm not keen.

    seem to recall that the post office don't insist on a 12 month phone contract.but I may well be mistaken.?!
