I assume you have cable broadband? if so you cannot transfer the service.
The other option you have is ADSL which you'll need to get a BT landline in order to get broadband services from other companies
and theres no other company out there that offers true unlimited downloads!0 -
thanks norman i just dont want to be stuck with them ...might need to get a different phone anyway so i'll look into bt thanks0

Hi Elantan,
Be careful if you're looking for an unlimited service, a lot of providers who advertise as unlimited aren't actually unlimited.
You're much better off actually knowing what your general usage is like and then going with a provider who openly publishes their guidelines. Otherwise you may get caught out by a Fair Usage Policy.
Expresso has written a good article on how to check your usage.
And here is a good article explaining the false economy of "unlimited" broadband: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/08/unlimited_broadband_ads_dishonest/
Good luck choosing your future ISP!
Kind regards,
