went from similar ISP to SKY. Had no problems. You also get a 7 day period once connected to reject the service, so you can win anyway..

Only gotcha with leaving within 7 days is getting some other service up and running, there is no simple move back to previous provider option with full LLU.

I am currently on Sky's full LLU service and are you saying that should I ever migrate away to another ISP in the future, it will be a hassle ?

Yes I believe this to be the case.

Oh

Hence the news that ofcom is in a year or so to introduce a new changing product system.

It is a bit better than it used to be

As an example, my parents who were ex-Tiscali on TalkTalk to PlusNet without much pain and only a couple of days downtime

PlusNet I believe do monthly contracts, so you could then migrate elsewhere if you wanted to fairly quickly

So not too bad then.

I can't see the problem but I expect that under the current system, if I were to migrate back to BT Wholesale, there would be a period of downtime as MAC codes are not valid ?

I believe you can request a simultaneous order for broadband and phone which should lead to minimal downtime when moving back to a BT based line.
May depend on whether the gaining ISP is set up to handle that type of request.
