![]() Hello I have just cancelled my subscription to NTL BB, yahoo fantastic I say..... I am looking for a ADSL company and was wondering about Freeserves trial. Now, if I go for the trial, then cancel within the 1st month. They will charge me nothing.. But they have paid for the adsl on my line to be activated. Now if I go with someone else, say plusnet, will they transfer it ok, or have a moan about it???? Cheers and thanks in anticipation.. |

It can't be transferred as such. It would be a cease and re-provide. This means that you could be without service for a few days and may have to pay any prevailing installation fee to your second ADSL provider. -- Hiram Hackenbacker |

It costs real money to provision you for ADSL. You are clearly a freeloader (Labour voter presumably?) and don't deserve any sort of service. I trust the sales and marketing departments of all providers have by now marked your card and will refuse you any kind of connection. In particular, please do not try to go with Plusnet; I use them and really have no wish to find sponges like you clinging to the network. You want the service? Pay your money. d _____________________________ http://www.pearce.uk.com |

![]() "Mugwump" wrote in message ... Since Freeserve don't support migration, I would be worried about how long it takes them to cease the adsl on your line if you cancelled within the month. I would not be surprised if they dragged their heels on that. You've cost them, they will probably make you suffer. Cynical? ... Me? -- Mugwump I should be able to provide some info on this soon. I requested cancellation of my FSBB service on Tuesday (02/12) and was told it would take a couple of days. Still active yesterday, checked again and was told it could be 10-15 days! Have taken no chances with their Worldpay billing though (which is due on the 11th) as I've cancelled that myself now. I intend to signup with Plusnet (1Mb if possible, else same 512Kb) as soon as line goes dead! Mark. |

![]() (1Mb if possible, else same 512Kb) as soon as line goes dead! Mark. Mark, Please keep us updated, thanks You still wouldn't gain anything by doing this. Once you cancel, the ADSL will be taken off the line and you will end up paying your new ISP the going rate for a new connection. -- Mugwump Reply-to address is ignored. Reply to 'usenetmail{at}discworld{dot}org{dot}uk You would gain a months free ADSL.. |

You would gain a months free ADSL.. and them you would suffer up to 2 weeks downtime as BT Wholesale will take 5 days to remove the ADSL equipment from your line and only then will you be able to order ADSL from another ISP (paying the 2nd ISP's installation charge) Regards Sunil |

Freeseve have now agreed to it and my brother-in-law is now migrating to Nigram |
