No its not possible to port your number and use another service provider.

You can only use BT when you port a number. If you change to another provider such as SKY, you'll just end up paying around the same rate as you are currently paying.

And don't be mislead with the free internet offers by SKY,Orange and TalkTalk. The free internet offer is only available for 18 months and the full price is requested afterwards, furthermore, the service is poor and they cannot garuntee a good connection.

You could ask Telewest retentions to lower your internet price. I got Telewest to lower my 2MB internet to Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£13 from Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£17.99 and Telewest also gave me Talk anywhere 400 for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£17 plus telephone line rental for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10.50 and Essential tv pack for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10. And i'm gonna make them lower it even more.
