Hi Yet another post , so much to learn, anyway the engineer has just left after installing VM phone line with Number port and 10 meg BB

The Speedtest.net gives me 9.998 download and 512kbps upload so i am well pleased after having 2-3 meg off SKY for the past 12 months

Anyway heres the problem the engineer PORTED over the BT number to Virgin line and all works well, but the BT line was left live and active. I know this as i am still on it now on ASDL until i set up VIRGIN on the other computer.

Anyway i asked the teckie when the BT line becomes dead and he said that it doesnt, ok the calls incomming and outgoing now go on the virgin line and he says that it is now the law of the land that all homes must have an active BT line installed

I said surely BT will continue to charge me for this and he reckons not so long as it isnt used for calls, BB etc.

He said VM do not cancel the line and there is no need for me to do anything if i dont use it as i will not be charged line rental by BT

Ploease clear this up for me, if i do ring to cancel BT line rental will they kill the number i have just had PORTED over to VM

I am confused on this one

Thanks
