I don't think the new provider will know you already have FTTC. (Unless an FTTC MAC has a specific format, which I don't know. Even if it does, we don't know if the new ISP will recognise it.
Openreach will of course know, when it goes in with the order on them to do the migration.
An engineer visit is not needed. So if you are ordering online, for whatever side-benefits/deals that gives, I suggest you contact your new ISP once the order has gone through, to tell them.
Any objection to telling us
from >> to? Somebody may know something specific about them. (Errm - AAISP to
BT, Sky or Plusnet?
