One final thing if i am going to be charged will i be better off or is it cheaper for me to get a new line in will it mean better quality in terms of performance speeds for my internet etc?
Also can i keep my old number?0 -
ISTR you have to give 30 days notice to Sky.
BT normally don't charge to take a line back from a competitor - but it'd be prudent to phone and ask.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -

It should be free, I think you ask BT for "Return to Donor", not a new line.0 -
Hi Jazelwood,
Can you PM me a contact number and I will check out if any charges apply?
Thanks
