    I heard about this on the news, was waiting for some on here to say something. So no phone services for up to 4 days?! I wonder if you still get charged line rental during this period?

    Had to go a year without it when I moved house.

    Eventually moved again (just to get DSL!)

    What Jiff says is serious...I would NOT move to somewhere that had no Broad Band....to me the house has no value without it. Its an essential consideration.
