I contacted my ISP with a view to changing the package that I am on to prepare for a move to FTTC when my cab is activated.
Well I got a mild shock, just to move from a LLU to a BT based package would cost me £138 on my present line and phone number but get a new line and BT package it would cost £120 and there are no spare lines on my DP.
It gets worse, when FTTC becomes available there is another £96 to pay for that. Adding it all up it's £234 for the complete move to FTTC, that's not including monthly costs and line rental.
May be this is one of the reasons that there is such a slow up take of FTTC plus the time you lose your internet connection during the change over period.
I will just have to stick with what I have now unless I come up on the lottery!!!
