The OFCOM thing needs clarifying. There is NO rule that allows customers to cancel lines after only a month. BT put most customers on three month contracts, if you try and cancel in that time, they won't let you. Some BT customers get 12 month contracts where a lot of work has to be done to provision the line, again, OFCOM will not rule that people should be released without valid reason.

What CAN happen, however, is that customers of either company can port their number across to the other one, subject to availability. If this happens, neither company can enforce their minimum contract.
