I see potential issues everywhere here.
If the two accounts are totally separate and the copper connection is not disturbed then short of BT screwing up which service to cancel, I can see no problems with @theleprechaun proceding with the original plan to switch the Plusnet service from FTTC to FTTP. However, I would still suggest it prudent to check with BT as an enquiry, without indicating to BT that they are contempleting cancelling the service.
This is still just delaying another potential issue coming in the near future. By the end of the year the other line is going to be converted to a Digital Phone service. Will BT change that to a copper based service, or will they spot that there is already FTTP available and try take that over? It might depend on whether this is a fibre priority area. More and more are going this way as the year progresses.
The logical way to have handled this from the start would be to move when @theleprechaun contract expired, then for Father's phone line to have been converted to Full Fibre with a digital phone with BT or EE. They offer a free adapter that enables an analogue phone to be connected remotely from the router. The phone number would have been seamlessly transferred. If son wanted a landline phone number then use a third party VoIP provider for this. Once this was working the other contract could have been cancelled. This would have worked out with no potential issues or cancellation charges. But we are where we are!
