… does BT charge you for the pleasure of doing so? I’m only moving a mile and a half down the road and have just filled in the “Moving Home” form on BT’s website - it mentioned that I may be charged for it but at no point gave any pricing details.
Oh, and yes I will be in ADSL range at last

B@st@rd, I can get ADSL but it costs R750-00/PM (60 pounds) and we get capped at 3 gigs:(

TBH I’m not all that bothered about downloading loads of p2p stuff, I really want it for keeping my home server/pc’s/laptop up-to-date, VPN to work etc…
If the new house has an existing phone line and internal connection box then taking your number with you is free.
I fell slightly foul of this as the previous owner removed the internal box and all the cabling back to where it entered the house :rolleyes:
BT were kind enough to slap a new box in FOC as I was having a 2nd line installed at the same time.
As far as I know the internal wiring is still all intact… I’m going to take another look round it early next week to measure up for new furniture etc so will investigate further.
I also get an attached garage, complete with mains supply… somewhere cool to keep some boxen that the missus won’t know about :devil:
Attached garage, sweet! I’d love one of those, ideal for all those crunchers!

… and somewhere to hide from the missus under the excuse of “giving the car an oil change” etc… (although I have no idea how to do one of those)
Hahahaha… :chuckle:
I’m sure you don’t really feel the need to hide from your missus. 
Last time I moved litterally across the road, BT charged me £35 to keep the same number. If I took a different number they allocated it wouldn’t have cost anything.
When I moved again a bit further (same area code, different exchange) they couldn’t let me keep the number, seems they’re attached to the exchange.
Edit: Forgot to say this was many years ago, so things can and probably have changed since.
