    So who is the phone and broadband currently with?
    It won't be possible if already on an LLU line.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • He on zen internet like most of my family and friends is. Only reason he wants to leave is because he want's a totally uncapped anytime plan. Zen don't provide this they provide a minutes tariff. The broadband is fibre and the line has not been llu'd
  • It's all up in the air at the moment now they have abandoned BT as their provider and gone over to Talk Talk as there are apparently still over 2500 exchanges which have no Talk Talk presence. What their existing customers who are in these exchanges will do I really don't know....

    My S-I-L asked a similar question of O2 recently as they had/have O2 PARTIAL LLU b/band,but their phoneline/call plan is still with BT -He was assured that they could not/would not force him to move his phone line (altho' the rep. suggested that there might be financial inducements available:rotfl::rotfl:)
