Kitz can you elaborate on the LORN further? I mean it sounds like the OP has already actioned a cease on the line, could he have used LORN if thats for house moves?? im a bit confused lol...its not hard to confuse me hehe. ive never ever heard of anyone using LORN to move say from an LLU provider to BTW provider (as thats how I read your post)
icanbefound - it all depends on what you currently have and what your on at the exchange and to whom your going with, what they have in the exchange and what service your taking up as to what route/method you use...also whether or not your keeping both broadband & phone with one supplier or splitting them between two, you have LLu (Local Loop Unbundling - providers who have their own equipment in the exchange, moving between or from these dont require MAC's) and you have BTw (BT Wholesale - providers that re-sell from BT using BT's equipment, moving broadband between or from these require MAC's)
- you can have
1) BTw phone + BTw broadband
2) BTw phone + LLu broadband
3) LLu phone + LLu broadband
you cant get LLu phone + BTw broadband as the LLU telcos that rent phone lines to you that they "own" wont allow another provider to supply broadband over it....so far anyway!
I had previously:
BTw Phone (BT) and LLu Broadband (o2)
I moved to Sky LLu for both, I had to use a MAC because I was moved onto BTw phone (sky) + LLu Broadband (sky) as sky sometimes (for whatever reason) move customers over to a BTw provisioned phone line before moving that phone line onto their own equipment, they did 4 weeks later as I got a letter saying I was being moved to SVBN (Sky Voice & Broadband Network) and when I checked (dial 17070) it was no longer a BTw PSTN line... so thats why I had to use a MAC, the swap remained over BTw line, had they been placing me directly onto their LLu for phone aswell I would not have required a MAC.
confusing you yet? hehe
