Putting Boradband on someone else's line??

MajorTom_2

Hi Guys,

Moving in with my girlfriends parents for 3 months while we wait to buy a house. I've ordered a BE broadband on 3 month contract to be put on her parents line.

Obviously the line is in my girlfriends fathers name and I've ordered the broadband in mine, anyone know if there will be a problem with this?

Thanks,

MT

Not as long as you explain and he's there to confirm it all. My mother and I did the same thing with O2 (only opposite, she got broadband on my land line). It took a conference call as I am not in the same city as her but they were fine about it, didnt seem fazed at all.

Thanks Safesound,
Could be a similar situation as her parents are in Austrialia at the moment!

Bit late as you've ordered now but for the benefit of eavesdroppers I would advise anyone considering the 3month Be contracts to ALSO consider the other contracts : as paying for 12months of Be Value or some of the o2 home broadband versions (which have a 12m PAID commitment) CAN be less/similar in price to just the 3 months of Be Unlimited, and would do away with any cost overruns you'd have if for example you end up staying 4 or 5 months. (And in your circumstance would have been a no/low cost 9 months of broadband 'present' for the parents.)

One tip with the 3m contracts is be to be clear from the Be contract terms precisely when you can give notice to stop paying them as the £20.43/month - eg that monthly fee is £30 more than the cost of a YEAR of o2 Standard currently (if you have an o2 mobile contract, or PAYG if you WOULD use the £90 of o2 mobile credit you'd have on it over a year).

ISP's don't know, care, and cant check who the landline 'belongs' to. (Except maybe for BT Broadband, if they have access to BT PSTN records too, and even then, they wouldn't care).
