    It's not instant and you will get a notice to let you know when your change over will be.

    you normally have to give notice to cancell and so bt will charge you until they switch you off
    you have made a good choice going to O2.
    they will get in touch with you( usually by text) at all times during your initial transfer
    they will tell you when the router will arrive and also the date they finally switch you to thier service

    you will need to check the t&c of bt
    to see how much notice is required,but they should not over charge you because you have cancelled their service
