Fairly certain that 0845/0870 won't be taken out of your call time, you'll just be charged.

And I don't think there're any ISPs with 01/02 numbers.

They are, i know from experience with o2 0845/70 are in the allowance but 0844 arent!

And omg my phone only connects @ 9.6kbps!!

That's GSM for you. GPRS would be quicker, but that's charged by the Mb.

Is there any particular reason you needed to cease/reprovide on you ADSL, rather than just migrating?

Bad luck. I jumped from Eclipse before they moved me to LLU - I sensed it coming.

Claranet used to dish out non-geographic numbers.

Did you actually phone Zen?
There shouldn't be a problem with LLU MACs, and you certainly shouldn't have to go through a (normal) cease and reprovide (though if you aren't migrating, Zen couldn't do it anyway)...

No it was via email

If you haven't already started it off, it might be worth phoning.

Zen not going so well at the moment though..

week n half ago get Mac code and fill in form on zen to xfer to them

they email me saying i would be stuck on a 512kb connection as max was "unaviable for my line", so called and they said get connected and then they might try..

got email on thurs saying LLU rejected, eclipse said tough.. etc
