Hi peeps,
I have just remembered I have cps with Onetel and have just signed up with Namesco broadband who required a Bt number. Will I have to dump Onetels cps and go back to Bt or will it not matter, after all its still Bt's number I'll be using.
Also,I have just received my broadband setup instructions for the router they are sending me. I'm curious about the quoted stuff below as I haven't a clue what it means but am willing to learn how it applies if anyone can simplify what to do with it.The bit below the qoute is self explanatory. Thanks for any replies and to MSE peeps for spotting such a good deal with Namesco, tweeter.

Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there. Peer at your baby's eyes for them to reflect back just people-throw away your flags and religious symbols...

If you no longer pay line rental to BT, you will have to switch back as far as I know. Don't worry about the various settings, just read the set-up instructions when they arrive.

Ok, thats different. As long as you are paying line rental to BT, your ADSL should be provisioned. It's entirely up to you which provider you chose to use for your telephone calls.
