In all honesty it depends how BT action the request.
A straightforward renumber shouldn't affect your BB, however the more common 'stop, renumber, restart' process will initiate what's called a PSTN cease, and will lead to your BB being cut off and a reprovide being required (which takes 7 days, and costs £40 though can be deferred if you've no contracts already).

That certainly managed to cut the calls we were getting down.
Now if we get a call string them along until they reveal who they are tell them where on TPS they go pretty quickly and we can report them.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

They must have phoned about 6 times before I lost my temper and had to write to BT HQ
Pipex did the same - and started using the automatic text facility - so I had to call 0845 to retrieve the message, and thereby incur a charge
I really think OFcom should make it mandatory for all telephone operators to have a facility whereby all customers can define which numbers are excluded / included. Similar to a black and white list used for email etc. so we could block all 0845, all 0844 all 0800 and all withheld numbers and other individual numbers etc etc, at NO EXTRA charge.
Then people would have no need to change their numbers

Now a couple of questions .
If i was to open another PN Pro account on the new line can i link these 2 lines to give me double the speed
BT have given me a number , although its not live yet is there anyway of getting a rough idea on how long the line will because our nextdoor neighbour has a att of 43 while mine is 52
And is ther any discounts on having 2 account can i have the account in my other halfs name and claim the referal discount
Cheers
Mark

Unfortunately we don't support DSL Bonding, so you wouldn't be able to "link up" the 2 services.
There's no discount as such for having 2 accounts with us, although you can refer yourself
You can get a rough idea of the expected speeds, but I couldn't tell you what your attenuation would be like.
