In reply to a post by Kenneth:

I had both FTTP & FTTC for a period, as it was effectively a different line into property and didn't need to transfer existing one. Once I was happy I could setup VOIP on the FTTP and everything was stable I transferred number to a VOIP provider which cancelled the phone & FTTC. If it is still the same, your only issue is do you want to pay for two providers for a few months.

I had a very similar situation myself. I didn't want to stick with my FTTC provider for FTTP, so I had the FTTP installed as a stand alone connection, and once I was sure it was working fine, ported the number from the FTTC service to VoIP thereby cancelling the FTTC service.

Seems this is not possible now with BT EE or Plusnet. They all say the current broadband will be disconnected at the last page in the ordering process. A&A seem to be able but expensive and I am waiting for Zen to see if its possible with them.

Switching seems to be the default. Who did you have FTTP and FTTC with Ken?
