Giving line rental back to BT

ferry

I'd like to give my line rental back to BT from TT as I plan to get NTL cable TV which requires this.
I have been with TT for only about 6 months now so does anyone know if I can do this at this stage?
If I can do I call BT for this or TT to transfer it back..?

Thanks
Terry

Not sure why you need to do this.

If NTL are saying you need a BT line, you still have a BT line - even if you are paying your line rental to TT, the line is still classed as a BT one.

NTL cable TV is a cable TV service.

You need cable, not a BT line.

http://www.home.ntl.com/icat/television - note they say:

*Price excludes £11.00 phone line rental which you must take with your TV Pack

However, if you're with TT and are considering going to NTL, frying pans and fires flash before my eyes.

Is it not a Cable Telephone Service they require you to have. Not a BT one.

That's what I would have thought would have been normal - change the lot over to NTL.

I assumed the OP was retaining his BT line for some reason.

Yes, it seems like the OP must want to retain their number, however as they are on TalkTalk (spit) they must transfer back to BT and then transfer to NTL.

Although TalkTalk offer poor value telephone service, NTL's phone offering is one of the worst in the industry.

Without any shadow of a doubt. Even could be The Worse.

Apart from ntl cable TV, what other ntl products do you want to use. Do you also want their Broadband and their expensive and restrictive phone service?
