Moving to Sky or Talktalk

[#1]

Just out of interest, does moving from a BT line to Sky or Talktalk always incur a cessation charge, i.e. do these providers exclusively use LLU, or are there likely to be any exchanges where it is more cost-effective to lease BT lines?

[#2]

If you move to a LLU provider, you can expect to receive a £30 cessation charge raised by BTw just because you want to leave BT's WBC network.  Note this has nothing to do with the line used - it will be the same line, just terminated differently within the exchange.

Though as I've mentioned previously, I've migrated from BTw to LLU services and vice versa multiple times and never been charged a cessation fee for doing so.

There's no cease charge provided that you are still using an Openreach line.  it doesn't matter who owns the kit at the exchange.

Which means you only pay a cease charge if you move to Virgin Media, or cease the line entirely.

@Tagger sorry, but you are wrong, a move to an LLU can mean a £30 charge.

Hi there,

Moving from Plusnet to Sky or TalkTalk does not necessarily always mean the cessation charge is applicable.

In some exchanges, they don't use LLU equipment.

It really all depends on the cease code that comes through to us after the service has left, that defines whether the cessation charge is applicable or not.
