Migrating from ADSL broadband to cable broadband
To migrate from ADSL broadband to cable broadband, you will need:
Nothing – the cable provider will supply all the equipment that you will need to run broadband from your home computer. Your computer will need to match the stated specifications. (Ask in advance)There is no direct way to switch from ADSL to cable. This type of switch uses a different type of cable running into your home, other than your phone line. This switch will not affect your phone service and you can keep your BT phone line and number.
During the migration to cable broadband:
You must first check your current contract and cancel your connection with your current ADSL broadband provider
Cable broadband takes approximately 14 days to install
An engineer will come to your home and install your broadband equipment. Make sure you check the internet connectivity before you let him go away as it might not work.Is there any downtime?
As cable and BT lines can run simultaneously, you are able to keep your ADSL line running until your new cable broadband has been installed. This will avoid any service loss during switching.
